If you care about democracy & justice, centre Brazil’s election. A global right-wing kleptocratic criminal network, led by powerful forces in the US, Israel and Russia, is operating across borders. No democracy can withstand this in isolation. Just Democracies need a global coalition of their own.

Badenoch on #R4Today claiming the Tories’ problems started with the Coalition when they “had to make compromises” and were perceived as “not proper Conservatives”. Cameron/Osbourne absolutely steamrollered the Lib Dems, got all they wanted, and left Clegg &c. as patsies. What is she on?

I feel like stories like this aren’t getting anywhere near enough traction (maybe that is just me not seeing it). This is terrible, not least as someone about to start the uni open day carousel again, but for staff, students and the wider uni sector.

I waited until Sunday morning coffee to listen and enjoy this and was not disappointed. The entire Liz section - the voice! - was delightful. I await further updates from her.

Ugh, was really hoping to go and see this next year but the ticket price plus the inevitable astronomical train ticket for a chance that I’ll get turned away because they have oversold is not worth it. I’ll just wait and go to Bayeux at some point hopefully.

If attendance at a major women's conference was down 80% due to a boycott fighting against trans *inclusion*, it would be all over the Times, Telegraph, Mail etc. This last weekend, attendance at a major women's conference was down 80% due to a boycott fighting against trans *exclusion*. Crickets.

Less than 4 weeeks into term and I don’t know much longer I can support her into 6th form every day this week let alone for two years plus uni. But please, tell me how autism is over-diagnosed or how she doesn’t need support. I am exhausted. She is exhausted.

Sorry for such a bleak post, but I can't stop thinking about the men who were in that Cornell fraternity and presumably saw the Snapchat message allegedly advertising "free pussy," and did nothing, tacitly allowing their friends to allegedly commit gang rape. Men, your passivity destroys lives.

You know, if you *really* cared about the wellbeing of women in college, instead of carping about the statistically insignificant number of trans athletes in sports minding their own business, you’d be railing against these Cornell fraternity cretins who drugged and gang-raped a passed-out women:

Whilst I do not disagree with the idea that PIP is unfit for purpose, the idea that the govt just hands out thousands of pounds to anyone who applies is absolute bollocks. These people do not care to help young people.

A few years ago we were actively working to dismantle systemic racism which is discreet, complicated and takes a lot to understand and legislate against. We had taken the conversation to a very sophisticated place. Now we're back asking the state to enforce the fucking law, which is easy!!

Well, if it’s 23 September... YES, THAT’S RIGHT! It’s the 72nd anniversary of the hunt for the Gorbals Vampire, in which hundreds of children aged from four to 14, armed with dogs, knives, and sharpened sticks went looking for an urban myth
Daily Mirror front page shows grainy image of horde of children in a cemetery, and the headline “Amazing scene as hundreds of children rush cemetery”
