Lib Dems approve motion to oppose the EHRC Code of Practice as Labour is set to face protest over exclusion of trans women at its women's conference.

The Liberal Democrats have voted to reject the EHRC Code of Practice, which recommends the segregation of Trans+ people from most single-sex spaces, as "discriminatory and unworkable".

Latest numpty with a passive-aggressive abuse list. @adamtlevitt.bsky.social has added me to the "Operation SIG propagandists" custom feed list, whatever 'Operation SIG' may be in the user's tiny little mind. Reported for abuse, obviously.

Embarrassing in the Burnham speech today that the cues for applause were somehow delayed a few times, and Burnham was left just standing there waiting for it. At least, as far as I could tell, that must be what happened. Otherwise, an aspirational, positive speech, but leaving many questions, a...

On the triple-lock. 1% of people in this country have as much wealth as 70% of the population. I suspect most pensioners are in the 70%. While pensioners have been well-served compared with some other groupings in that 70% and are among those most able to bear the cost, why are we STILL not...

I strongly suspect that British Jews take the BoD way less seriously than non-Jews in the media and in politics, who feel they can't reject them for fear of being seen to dismiss Jews more generally when they're not even representative. Any thoughts?

I've been watching the odd old episode from the BBC's 'Pop Quiz' from the 1980s, something that passed me by at the time, but this is the first time I've watched the credits. Does anyone remember the name of the band Donald Trump was in?

In all the confusion over Trump's attack on Iran, let us not forget that not every orc has its hobbit. Trump is disgusting, but so is the Iranian regime.

Exceptionally illuminating podcast with @labourlewis.bsky.social Clive Lewis, MP, as the interviewee. With Burnham being something of a mixed bag so far, Lewis provides considerable insight and lands where I'd landed myself, while giving me reasons to be there... www.youtube.com/watch?v=15H1...

The mother of all battles is finally on. Contrasting Burnham with Philp on this morning's Kuenssberg programme, this is the battle Labour has shied away from, bar Corbyn, since Blair. Scalpel vs sledgehammer. Joined-up thinking vs segmented one-liners. Solutions vs managed decline. Who will win?

Essentially, Fairford is a base for the USAF. No surprise that the USA has attracted terrorists, (though I'm not sure if the Americans sending people in to attack a base attacking their personnel from Iran would classify their people as such). And now, thanks to Starmer's foolish decision to...

I suspect that American exceptionalism is at least a part of the explanation for where it is right now. It's about time America grew up as a country. For too long it's been a child playing with matches, and now the house is burning.

There's a difference between what Polanksi has said what's being attributed to him He treats "Zionism" as a label with several meanings He says its original form, a safe place for persecuted Jews, was not racist, and that what the current Israeli government does in its name is racist and genocidal

I guess most people are aware of this, but for those who aren't... With all the propaganda outfits out there now posing as news organisations, this is a worthwhile rebuttal to some of the more kooky headlines that pop up in social media. mediabiasfactcheck.com

The next global superpower MUST be EU based and it MUST do things differently. The most important thing to do differently is to win the support of the Global South. Any alliance with the Netanyahu regime, however firm our reprimands, will be remembered, and is a barrier to that.

I can't put my finger on why, but I find this bit of AI really, REALLY annoying and quite troubling. It seems to encapsulate why I have precious little hope for America to get it right, and why I want to slap the entire nation's face and scream 'Wake the FUCK UP!' Am I being weird here?

The 'Main Justice' podcast nailed it. EVERYTHING is now national security. Ballroom? Basement bunker, ergo national security. Arc de Trump? Drones and snipers, ergo national security. Behead Melania if the Pope won't give him a divorce? National security. ... Oops, sorry, got confused there.

I suppose there's no hope that the result of this will be all the recruits going out to Ukraine to defend us by fighting against Putin's army? No? Thought not. THAT would require genuine courage. Let's see who they fight now that they've bravely tackled the RNLI.

As I understand it, when they proscribed Palestine Action it was on the back of evidence of coordinated attempts to organise trespass and cause damage. Everyone who supported them by so much as holding a paper became arrestable for terrorism. Are they going to do the same for "Patriot Platform"?

I think at some point he's got to make it more obvious. What I'd suggest is doing one in Latin. There'll be the usual outcry. Segregating the community, he'll build a colosseum to appease that constituency and throw bankers to the lions, he's got some rich Praetor in his back pocket. Then...
