The Ms. Rachel thing is instructive because ppl just vaguely talk about her being antisemitic so as to avoid articulating her original offense: daring to feature in her videos a 3 year old whom the IDF blew the feet off of

Thought for the day is that a lot of political critique and discourse fails to distinguish adequately between ideology and information. Where information rich individuals deliberately impoverish the information environment of those they seek to manipulate we shouldn't see them as sharing ideology.

Motion to reject the EHRC's
Code of Practice
Alongside colleagues, I have tabled a motion to disapprove the Equality Act 2010: Draft Code of Practice for services, public functions and associations. We cannot support it, and we have a responsibility to our trans constituents to resist it.
This motion is currently the only available mechanism through which Parliament can reject the EHRC's Code of Practice; if it is debated and passed within the 40-day scrutiny window, it would prevent the Code from being issued by the EHRC and coming into force.
Please email your MP asking them to sign
EDM 240.The Code will exclude trans people from services and facilities that they have long used without issue, putting them at increased risk of harassment and violence, and effectively pushing them out of public life.
It ushers in an era of enforced segregation for trans people, the policing of which will be outsourced to service providers, including businesses, charities and public bodies.In the statement to the House of Commons yesterday, the Minister even suggested that where members of the public are unsure of someone's gender within a single-sex facility,
"most people will have the common sense to step in where necessary or, if they are concerned, to alert a member of staff."
Meanwhile, this guidance does not give clarity and confidence to organisations that want to be trans-inclusive. Its impact also extends beyond the rights of trans people.
The government's own Equality Impact Assessment warns that "women who are considered masculine may face greater scrutiny" and that disabled people could face adverse impacts.The Code represents a profound rollback of rights, which will affect trans people directly and erode the principles of inclusion, dignity and equality upon which all our rights depend.
This guidance must not become statutory; the government should withdraw it and instead legislate to clarify and protect trans people's rights, privacy and inclusion.

James OBrien is forcing me to wonder if I’m in a Starmer cult. I think I am a little bit. Because I really respect him and want him to stay in post.  I’m glad I’m in his cult because I’ve never found anyone else I’ve respected more in politics than him.

I am also in the same cult. However, I believe it is an evidence-based cult. Starmer is managing home and foreign policies equally well. Manifesto pledges are now enacted, NHS, Education, Infrastructure, Energy, etc. The ability to deliver actions is what I look for and his Cabinet is delivering.

I think Brexit was garbage. But if in 2025 you're still pedalling "all we need to do is reverse Brexit!" you're ignorant. Everything before Brexit was fine, obviously. It was definitely ALL Brexit and not the six years of austerity before that and the 31 years of untempered Thatcherism before that.
