This piece assumes that there is an overwhelming cultural consensus about going no-contact with conservative parents. There isn’t! There is, in fact, an entire media industrial complex dedicated to telling us that we are too mean to conservatives. A complex to which this piece is contributing!

The Jason Arday story is by no means the biggest scandal at Cambridge University. I'm sure the media is going to pick this up and run with it in just the same way ... Or is the exaggerated CV of one Black professor somehow more important than this?

I’m always highly irritated by those on the left who let woke be co-opted and then fall in line with that co-opting.

One day, when all the migrants are gone and the majority of people in this country still have ‘shite’ living standards, maybe you’ll ask your politicians what ideas they actually have.

Bizarre segment by Novara media on AOC’s recent comments. Left wing media fell all the way in the right wing definition of woke and not having any nuance on it. 🫠

This month, we published another article revealing that MSG kept a database of VIP event attendees, labeling some of them as LGBTQIA and assigning a “risk score” to others. This is also now free to read:
wired.com
Madison Square Garden Kept a List of Gay Celebrities
An MSG database tracked and categorized hundreds of celebs, famous Knicks superfans, and even some of Taylor Swift’s wedding guests. Labels included “LGBTQIA,” “DO NOT HOST,” and low to high “risk.”

I’m interested in any political imagination for accountability. It has to be proactive & retroactive. It has to be spectacular. And, ideally, it would leave so many of them broke that it actually becomes a deterrent. Being poor is truly all they care about not because they don’t care about prison.

Men who commit this kind of violence with this kind of rhetoric are not protecting women and girls; they are trying to legislate which men have the right to harm women and girls (and of course it's men like them and not those other men).

Even worse when you compare it to who was granted entry for the racist marches recently. Labour can’t continue to pretend it cares about many issues who traditionally has.

Can't stress enough how utterly nonsensical this line of "we need to cut immigration further" is when cuts to immigration are already having negative short and long term impacts. It also makes those saying it look particularly foolish when levels inevitably go up again www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
UK net migration needs to fall further, says Andy Burnham

There's no mystery about why Farage, Trump, Boris Johnson and others of their stamp get away with things that would instantly destroy any leftwing politician: they're protected by the oligarchs they serve, who own most of the media and intimidate much of the rest.

The media forensically dissects the pasts of people who challenge the status quo, such as Polanski and Corbyn. Fair enough, up to a point: we should know about our representatives. But it's far less inquisitive about those who defend power, however great their misdeeds, such as Nigel Farage.🧵

The UK must immediately and unequivocally suspend support for the US military. The Government have tried to appease him, then they tried to say they're standing up to him. Words aren't enough - it's time for action.
