Interesting that the TikTok guy, HS, says he’d get a slap from his mum if he spoke detrimentally about women and gays in front of her, the way he does on his content 😳 #manosphere

The only thing prohibiting walking through the mine field is the mines exploding. It is open for walking should the mines not do that.

Telling how confident Starmer now feels in owning his Iran decision. His best outing against Badenoch at PMQs in months. KB not alone in shifting her position. Many of those in the press and politics demanding war and condemning Starmer loudest have been far quieter since the inevitable chaos began.

She never lived to see this moment, but it’s worth remembering that none of this would have happened without Virginia Giuffre. She had the courage to speak out against power and privilege when it was just her word against Andrew’s. Thanks to her, justice & accountability may finally have its day.

Appeasing landlords. Decent homes standard for England’s private renters will not be enforced until 2035. Millions of renters are stuck paying hand over fist for shoddy homes that pose a real danger to their health. Govts put profits before people.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Last week they tested public opinion by stripping him of Duke of York; he couldn’t lose Prince as it was “his birthright”. This week, they’ve “done the right thing” aka trying to placate the masses. Meanwhile Windsor walks free and still lives in the lap of luxury. Sickening. #abolishthemonarchy

If Farage wins the next election, it will be down to one person. His name is Keir Starmer. This thread explains why. 1. Destroying faith in democracy. The UK decisively voted out the Tories, only for Starmer to give us a Continuity Tory government, shamefully beholden to economic power. 🧵

4. Failing to clear out the Tories’ highly political appointments to the BBC. They should be replaced immediately with independent people. Until that happens, it will remain a public relations outfit for the hard right and far right.
