Ah yes, ‘Palatable Histories’. Great series.

Horrible Histories scenes removed to comply with BBC editorial guidelines for children's TV
One actor from the show previously admitted it could be argued they did "blackface" in their depiction of Egyptians.

Labour’s lesson from 2010’s Bigotgate was that bigots are unconvertible and their opinions must be enacted to the letter for a policy to be acceptable – and that it’s everyone else who needs to adapt. This was the wrong lesson.

I agree with Zack Polanski on many things, but this isn't a long-term solution. The double-ratchet effect of the triple lock means that the state pension consumes a larger and larger share of GDP. Not of tax income, but the actual entire economy. It is, and always has been, an unsustainable model.

Funny. When Cameron introduced the triple lock I remember everyone on the left understanding very clearly why it was a cynical bribe to Tory voters and would not amount to a hill of beans if public services like social care were cut to the bone. Some of the same comrades are now big fans. 🧐

The resilience of immigration in these figures is really troubling. We need the reporting of the fall in small boat and general immigration to ramp up. Reform can come back as long as that issue reigns.

ExcuseMeSorryWhatPardon. Republicans tried to HURT the election chances of this <checks notes> superhot gay marine veteran, by publishing his youthful risqué photos, and he is standing as a Dem for Congress in <checks notes again> New York? 😂😂😂 I reckon this translates into a ten-point poll bump.

The Queer Post
They leaked his old photos to try to shame a gay veteran out of a congressional race. He's still running.
Chris Gallant flew Black Hawk helicopters in the Middle East, enlisted at 17, and now volunteers as a firefighter on Long Island.
The New York Post thought leather modeling pics would end his campaign.
Gallant didn't apologize. He called it exactly what it is: "This is a coordinated political hit meant to drive me out of the race, and this represents everything that is wrong with our politics today."
"I am very proud of who I am, and I won't be shamed into silence."

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

The Democrats defend the Kennedy Center but not trans people.

maybe because defending everything about a super small minority of the population is not worth losing to fascists

I'd have thought that the goal of a nominally centre-left political party would be to build a voter base of marginalised groups with overlapping interests and not to deliberately alienate minorities and then get arsey about it. But, what I failed to consider is, they don't want to.

All day Piddington's womminfolk have been telling news how they will be terrified of "hundreds of young men nearby, free to come and go as they please." NOT ONE JOURNALIST has asked: "How did you cope when it was an army base? Who came and went then? Nuns?" Soon as you ask that, all becomes clear.

🚨 The headline numbers are large: a 53.8% decline in export product varieties to the EU and a 16.5% fall in export values (meaning that fewer types of products are now being sold by UK firms to the EU). Creating trade barriers with your largest trading partner is economically illiterate.
