I haven’t watched #bbcqt in yonks. I’ve just put it on and within two minutes I’m ready to chuck my remote through the telly.

I used to think the 'First They Came' poem was quoted so often that it became a bit of a cliché. Now I think it needs to be printed on posters covering every wall, projected onto the HQs of newspapers and parliament, and stamped on the foreheads of those punching down instead of looking up.

Absolutely. And this is why it’s so mind bogglingly frustrating when people who experience one form of discrimination don’t show solidarity with others, but actively join in! As if their new found friends won’t turn on them next.

How shocking that a man who buys into the idea that transphobia isn't transphobia when it's framed as women's rights would also buy into the idea that racism isn't racism when it's framed as a problem with university recruitment. How do so many journalist bigots get away with being so fucking lazy?

Just a thought, but is it perhaps time for a responsible news media to stop reporting the dribbling arseblurts of these fools? Seriously, this is on a par with “Bloke down the pub says it’s a well-known fact that there’s no actual evidence that smoking is bad for you.”

Not having Monica on the leadership ballot is such an own goal for Scottish Labour and the left.

Nigel Farage suggests the police advised him against attending the result of the Clacton by-election. Essex Police completely deny this, telling the BBC "we have a proportionate and robust policing operation to ensure the safety and security of all participants in the count"

Scottish Labour could be down to 1 MSP and -50 in the polls, and some would still be telling the media we're on the up, this is fine, no need to change tactics, we're getting good feedback on the doorsteps.

Honestly, I used to stare directly at the sun loads as a child. I remember looking at it while on long car journeys, staring until it became a perfect orange circle. Dear reader, I now have glasses as thick as coke bottles and forehead lines from squinting all day long.

If you want to make our streets safer, tackle male violence. Take women seriously. Prosecute rapists. Educate our boys and men. Someone in my town was sitting on the grass with her 4yo daughter today, when two boys walked past and said ‘POV: a rape scene’.

Managing social media for large publishers is hard, but hats off to @stv.news for limiting the comments on this post. The Facebook comments on posts from other publishers I've seen covering this story have been an utter bin fire of racism, islamophobia and hate. X is bad, Facebook is just as bad.

He could have used this to be graceful and uniting, but one of the first things he does is bring up division in the party and offend the left… Sums up his leadership really.

I thought they were playing Dirty Old Town during the hydration break there, but it turned out to be Take Me Home Country Roads. Similar songs, or just my bad hearing?

Is there an England World Cup song this year? I’m reminiscing about the glory days of Vindaloo, Three Lions obviously, and my personal favourite - We’re on the Ball by Ant and Dec. Best song ever written.

Gov straight up admitting that any attempts at gender policing are unworkable because "There is no type of official record or document in the UK which provides reliable evidence of sex." So bin it??

13.179 Where there remains a genuine concern about the accuracy of the response
to a request for an individual to confirm their sex, then the service provider,
person performing public functions or association should consider what
action is proportionate in the circumstances. There is no type of official record
or document in the UK which provides reliable evidence of sex. For example,
sex on passports and driving licences may be changed with or without a
Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC), and birth certificates may reflect the
acquired gender of someone who has a GRC. Therefore, it is unlikely to be
proportionate or practical to ask for further evidence of a person’s sex.

It would be great if there was a ‘I’m calling for the leader to go, but if the next one is much worse, I take it back and please can we keep this one’ option. A few parties could have done with a take back over the past years.
