Absolutely fascinating that someone can understand why ethno-nationalism is racist when Reform and Restore embrace it, but then themselves deem it racist to criticise an actual existing ethnostate.

Anyone surprised by the mainstreaming of anti-abortion activists in our political culture has simply not been paying attention to the anti-trans movement, their financial backers, and the methods they use to attempt to legitimise themselves. It’s a complete anti-bodily autonomy movement.

Darlington Nursing Union on Facebook: “Imagine telling your daughter, sister, wife or mother that if she objects to undressing in front of a man at work, she is the one who must leave. That was our reality."
Powerful full speech from President of the Darlington Nursing Union, Bethany Hutchison, at the 'When Reality Meets NHS Policy' Conservative Party conference fringe event.
We continue to engage all political parties on these issues.

Below the post is a picture of Bethany speaking at the conference, in front of a banner showing the event title.

If they take legal action, I would not be surprised to see CC come through with the funding and support.

The FCC fining all channels that air the public execution, because the victim called the gunmen “a bunch of cunts” before being shot to death and bleeding out live on air.

It’s so funny to me that there’s currently controversy in the US because Shane Gillis said the word “fuck” on Saturday Night Live yesterday. American morality is so weird. Swears are too bad to air. Also, we’re live-streaming a government sanctioned murder for you to watch!

People ask me this all the time, so I’ll just say: look at the transgender hate panic, a thing that had no organic element and did not arise from the public, and was instead imposed upon everyone by the world’s most hateful, poisonous and malignant media class.

the problem in the uk is the media. im gonna keep saying it until the day i die. everything that is wrong in the uk can be traced back to our media. it’s non-stop, far right, propaganda from the guardian to the times to the mail to the bbc. the only thing that changes is the branding.

I’m always amazed “does Israel have the right to exist” took off as a rhetorical device, when Israel is very much the state currently denying Palestine the right to exist, by occupying the West Bank and murdering its residents, and obliterating Gaza, its infrastructure and its people.

Mark Grimshaw @markgrimshawtism.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

There’s so many variables in play in that single sentence alone, that, no, the headline is not an accurate representation of the key takeaways from the report at all.

Mark Grimshaw @markgrimshawtism.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Conflating criticism of Israel with criticism of Judaism and Jewish people is itself antisemitic. “Does Israel have a right to exist” is a meaningless question, when it’s solely used as a rhetorical device towards people criticising an ethnostate currently committing genocide.

An extremely rare moment: Hadley Freeman is correct. She doesn’t understand the actual reason why she’s correct, but, you know, we’ll just have to make do, I guess.

I always find it funny when the “autism is overdiagnosed” moral panic begins, because, like, who gives a shit if it is? I’ve heard nothing from the NHS since they diagnosed me, receive zero support, was rejected for PIP. In real terms, my diagnosis means fuck all to anyone except myself.

kind of funny that they clearly wanted this report to justify whatever the government wants to do, and still the best they can rummage up is "They aren't overdiagnosed but they would be, if we started overdiagnosing them"

Yep. I called them out then, and I’ll call them out every time they follow this pattern at the whims of the right-wing.

It should concern you, but not necessarily surprise you, that the same people who are attacking trans folk are also going after neurodivergence and physical disability.

Funniest thing Zack Polanski could do right now is copy what Nigel Farage did when he lost his general election campaign in 2015 as leader of UKIP - “resign”, and then claim the party rejected his resignation because he’s just too good and too important.

A fascinating editorial decision from the BBC, to make the headline a scaremongering “AUTISM AND ADHD ARE BEING OVERDIAGNOSED”, and then, four bullet points later, have the author of the report quoted as essentially saying “nah, that’s bullshit, actually”.

ADHD and autism at risk of over-diagnosis, says report, as author warns of rise in mental ill health
Summary
• An official review in England finds there is a risk of people being over-diagnosed with
ADHD and autism - three key findings from the report
• As well as neurodevelopmental conditions, the review looks at mental ill health, particularly in younger people. Our health correspondent explains the difference
• It was commissioned earlier this year after Wes Streeting, then the health secretary, said there was an "over-diagnosis" of mental health conditions
• Speaking to Radio 4's Today programme earlier, review chair Prof Peter Fonagy said Streeting was "with respect, completely wrong"

It really shouldn’t be controversial to acknowledge the existence of an ethnostate as being inherently racist, to be frank. I appreciated his comments regarding that motion on Breakfast this morning, and agree with his wish that some amendments had passed.

It’s damaging for Labour that during a so-called “Burnham bounce”, they could only win with a reduced vote share in a safe seat, whilst a party to the left of them tripled their vote share, yes.

The Green’s tripled their vote share in a safe Labour seat. That’s the story.

Mark Grimshaw @markgrimshawtism.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Absolutely damning for Labour that the much hyped “Burnham bounce” is them losing vote share in a safe seat previously held by the former Prime Minister. Obviously, that won’t be the narrative in the media, though.

The right-wing propaganda machine has now moved on from “they’re transing vulnerable autistic children” to “bet those children aren’t even autistic anyway”. (Also, the word “rush” is being used in the same way it is for trans healthcare, to describe years-long waiting lists.)
