And anyone especially Labour supporters or those that have a monomania about Zack Polanski - don’t try and justify this to me. Don’t tell me that my community just matters less. You don’t have to say it in words, but I hear it in the message. I don’t want to hear it.

So 1. He would rather have a Reform/Tory government if that was the option? 2. The transphobia and anti migrant policies of his own government are somehow less bad than the Zionism is Racism motion. Ok

Now we’ve started informing aquaintances that my partner‘s ILR refusal means she has to leave the country at 6 weeks, it’s striking how many ordinary British-born people just struggle to believe the Home Office or the immigration system could be as routinely cruel as it is

There is a rather wider minority for abolishing the Monarchy (about 1 in 5 to 1 in 4) than for the controversy of whether only white people can be English (1 in 10). It is weird the media classes are so rarely across how niche this 'controversy' is - about 1/4 Reform voters, but few others

Black text on white background 
"This day is profoundly painful for so many New Yorkers. It marks three years since the horrific war crimes of October 7. On that day, Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 others. We grieve alongside our many friends and neighbors who still carry that unthinkable loss.
 
The suffering did not begin nor end that day. It instead continued through the Israeli government’s devastating, ongoing genocide in Gaza, in which it has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians—including more than 21,000 children. Even since the so-called ceasefire, more than 1,400 Palestinians have been killed. That suffering has intensified with every Israeli bomb dropped on ambulances waiting outside hospitals, every drone strike targeting a residential building or journalist, and every shipment of food aid turned away at a border crossing. Many New Yorkers are reckoning with this unbearable grief, and we mourn alongside them – all while knowing that our tax dollars fund these war crimes.
 
Three years later, we must refuse to accept a world in which occupation and apartheid continue, where war crimes are met with impunity, and our federal government continues its complicity with every arms shipment.
 
To honor the dead, we must fight for a world in which every person can live with freedom, safety, and dignity."

Great points in general, but one thing I want to say is: a PM (especially an ostensibly progressive one!) should not be talking to GB News. Do not legitimise an obvious far-right propaganda outfit with recognition that should be reserved for actual broadcasters.

This notion of bigoted beliefs being a protected characteristic like gender or race is just absolutely barmy. Those of us who’ve experienced genuine discrimination for who we are know there’s no comparison, and the political and legal collusion on this stuff is disastrous.
