It’s always at this time of night that I realise how the combination of understanding my neurodivergent brain, and being bullied out of Monkey Cage, (connected) has deeply affected me and also made me see the impossibility of working with people without values or ethics - it’s not always easy

Do you think "Not morally pure" is how you would describe the acts I listed if they were committed against you, your family and whatever larger group you are part of? Wanting a safe home is indeed not racist. Expelling and murdering people to take their homes because of their race is though.

The Tale of Squirrel Nutjob. Amazing photo by @kevinlohman.bsky.social If you like this (if... hah!) then more contenders for the Comedy Wildlife Awards here: www.comedywildlifephoto.com/gallery/fina...

A grey squirrel leaps down from a branch on to a surprised looking grey owl with large yellow eyes.The squirrel is mid-air, limbs extended and mouth open. Angry little blighter... The scene is framed by pine branches and the background is blurred greens and browns

It's that time of year again when we need to remind National Trust members that Restore Trust is a dark-money funded right-wing astroturfing entryist outfit. Please vote, and vote for literally anyone else.

According to the government, racists are less likely to join Nazi organisations because Labour banned Palestine Action. And people call Braverman a nutcase. #Labour #racism inews.co.uk/news/politic...

Mahmood says Palestine Action proscription is needed to curb support for neo-Nazis

Why do you want us to rejoin if you don't want any of the responsibilities, don't want to contribute and see the basics of membership as an imposition?

...a small country, many times more than we do in Britain. If you don't know your facts then best not to gob off and make a tit out of yourself in public.

Ireland has always had a tiny military which is designed solely for UN peacekeeping, and no useful lethal military equipment to send, even if their constitution were rewritten. So instead they send a huge amount of aid for such a small country, and take a huge number of Ukranian refugees...

[No shade on Kate personally] Labour's unforgivable (and continuing) conduct over Gaza led to me leaving the party after decades. But if it were not for that, then the creeping capture of the party by the anti-trans hate lobby over the last few years would have made me leave anyway #Labour #Burnham

I find the exceptionalism pretty nauseating tbh, and there's plenty of it on this platform too, from rejoiners.

Note the last paragraph. Being a member on equal terms with every other EU nation is regarded as a "worse deal" and as "punishment". We need to get over ourselves. #Cake #rejoin #Brexit

Until the widespread delusion that it's remotely possible we might rejoin on 2016 terms — or any other version of cake — is expunged from political discourse in the UK, we will not be taken seriously as an accession country. #rejoin #Brexit

Fascinating world of ancient #glass! #Roman dove-shaped vessels were used as perfume bottles. The liquid was sealed inside and the tip of the tail or the beak had to be broken to remove the perfume. This particular example, discovered in a first-century burial at Rovasenda, Italy, is...🧵1/2 🏺

I was never a particular fan of either Nick Robinson or Andrew Marr but they are absolute titans of political analysis compared to the drivel produced by Kuenssberg and Mason.

Scotland and Wales either have the right to self-determination or they do not. The Union is either voluntary or it is by compulsion. Self-determination means that Scots in Scotland decide if they want a referendum, not English MPs at Westminster.

That’s why the nasty “You can do x so how come you can’t…?” accusation from those who wish to target or scapegoat the disabled or sick is so powerful. It feels intuitively as if it‘s a valid point, in the way that nasty rhetoric and dog-whistles often do in skilled & malign hands. It really isn’t.

There's no legal or constitutional need for a referendum, but the domestic politics would be toxic for Westminster to deny the electorate a vote on this, and I don't think that 100% of member states would accept us on that basis.

Given Labour had a Jewish woman in her 90s in a wheelchair charged as a terrorist at their conference for opposing genocide you should sit this one out.
