I was curious and to compare Alberta, which is fairly close in population to Scotland has over 340 distinct municipal governments, not including the 100+ native reservations which also function as local governments.

Not to diminish Israel’s genocide in Gaza but saying “there is no genocide, no massacre, no oppression, and no colonialism.” in Turkish history is WILD 🙃

Burnham, if nothing else, is telling a coherent story about what he wants to do. And that really matters for the quality of governance. Administrations work when the people involved have a sense of what the leader wants. That was one really big absence with Starmer.

The new EHRC Code of Practice is not fit for purpose. It does not provide clear guidance or do enough to protect everyone from discrimination, and it is not compatible with longstanding British values. @EdDavey.LibDems.org.uk and @MarieCGoldman.bsky.social have written to Bridget Phillipson. ⬇️

I see a leading “gender critical” commentator has, once again, dismissed the reaction of trans communities to the proposed EHRC Code of Practice as “male anger”. In doing so she again completely ignores trans men, who can be barred from both men’s and women’s spaces under this abhorrence.

Just thinking about all of the media and political bandwidth that'll be taken up over the coming weeks with a Labour leadership challenge when they might just end up with Starmer still as leader at the end. 🙃

It’s certainly not a good thing but it’s worth noting that France has also had something like 7 Prime Ministers in the last 10 years as well.

Just an observation but with politics being so multi-party and with the rise of a genuine far right party in the UK its kind of ironic how in the decade since the Brexit vote British politics has become arguably *more* European in nature.

This is a grave and era-defining moment for the world. Donald Trump is making wilder and increasingly concerning threats by the hour. If Trump follows through with this, Keir Starmer must immediately recall Parliament.
