*banging head against the desk* We already have obscenely few! Denmark has 98! Norway has... 369? Finland is similar to Norway! Slovakia has over *2000*! Why are we in the UK so utterly, utterly hostile to local democracy? "We want efficiency savings" is peak cost of everything, value of nothing!

Once again, I come back to the fact these guys have created a situation where one of the UK's leading, cis female athletes is scared to go to the loo alone, and the fact that they are celebrating this as a step forward for women's rights.

There's been a lot of pisstaking of Anas Sarwar. And good, he deserves it. But: -Scottish Labour fell (yes, from an already low spot) relatively little. They came second. On Manchester city council they lost 24 of their 30 defences, and their MCR city council leader is now standing for Mayor.

Thinking about that Doomsday trailer, I think my ONLY guess is that 'Doom' is just straight up going to be Evil Tony Stark. They've never said Victor von Doom on screen, no one knows him. Why does Thor seem more scared of him than Thanos (just nonsensical). There's no explanation of the threat)

I see Labour MPs still announcing stuff on X, a platform specifically designed to make people hate them, 100% shaped to push them out of public life and which would ideally see many of them in prison. Funny old world.

That’s nice how they’re just calling them what they are now: anti-transgender views. I suppose constantly having to use bullshit euphemisms like “women’s safety” can get tiring.

Hope that this isn't treated as a political point- it isn't meant to be- but as a northerner it is quite nice to hear a PM speaking in Downing Street with a northern* accent (*yes there are, of course, many types of accent across northern England)

So I think deep down they *have to* assume trans women are acting malignly, because they can’t imagine wanting to be a woman, while there seems to be a tendency see trans men as either failing to understand that it’s normal to be miserable about being a woman - or as traitors letting the side down.

To joylessly suck the fun out of this joke: this is actually true! As the BBC's budget has shrunk, there are fewer guests on programmes, which means you get more intra-BBC 'I'm not allowed to say anything of note' rather than getting a historian or the PM's biographer or a former No 10 aide on.

I'm just so fucking scared now. The way they're dehumanising her. There are, of course, dozens of comments threatening her with violence ("spray it with bug spray", "kick it in the cock", talk of using a cricket bat on her). Ofc none of those comments will get a writeup in a national paper

The phrase "timid and limited" is itself too timid and limited to describe a bill which is full of loopholes, such as the rules for donations made to candidates ahead of an election. The threshold for publishing such donations is set per candidate, so someone could, legally and in secret, donate...

There's a parallel here with how we have allowed treating trans people with dignity - a policy common to all major parties and supported by a majority of the public 10 years ago - to become a synonym for mad radicalism. It's almost as if social media has been manipulated to achieve these things.

It's a long time since the Telegraph has been a serious newspaper, but in what universe is this an accurate summary of what Burnham said? The collapse of any distinction between "News" and "Comment", particularly in the right-wing press, is not just a problem of social media.

Screenshot of The Telegraph, with a clip of Andy Burnham's speech and the lunatic headline: "Live: Burnham to take Britain back to the 1970s".

Revealing that in all the Discourse about why Keir Starmer is so widely hated, "Israel does have that right" is not even mentioned, six seconds of audio which probably lost the Labour Party half a million votes.

Anti-semitism is absolutely a real thing and as a Jew I am deeply nervous about the worst faith people in public life working relentlessly to rob the concept of all gravity by making it synonymous with "anyone not fully supportive of Benjamin Netanyahu and everything he does."
