I hope every woman on here that is in my mutuals is aware that the Conversion Practices bill is set to reverse all the legal gains of the FWS Supreme Court ruling and Forstater case. And the Labour Party will pass it.

Zack Polanski’s litany of own goals and political missteps is so long, it’s easy to forget it all started with him being a boob enlarging hypnotherapy charlatan.

I doubt he'll flounce away from the party as he did when he lost for the Lib Dems, but it kinda stymies his path to Parliament. Ah, well. Shit happens.

The UK illegally deported the (not white) inhabitants of the Chagos Archipelago - a British Indian Ocean Territory - in 1973, with no right to return, so the US could have a base there. And a decade later, fought the Falklands War to protect the (white) inhabitants' wish to remain British.

I was waiting at a bus stop outside King's X after an evening with a friend years ago. The conversation went Lowlife: "How much?" Me, bristling: "I'm not working." LL: "Well why are you standing at the bus stop, then?" Yeah, it was very sleazy then and now it's a shopping opportunity.

So discussing female pelvic health is a "safeguarding issue" which justifies intimidating women. Vote Green!

Two texts and an email proclaim a courier's pants-wetting excitement about a delivery and urge me strongly to pick it up at an inconvenient shop. That ain't a delivery, the price of which was added to the cost of the goods, is it, Relay? I have a functional doorbell, so use it.

Users should grow up if they can't handle different opinions. These platforms can all be curated without the need of mobs like you creating block lists to protect people who might be offended by the truth.

This “European political elites need to understand that if they say European security isn't possible without the US, they are actually saying that European security isn't possible. For many reasons, they don't want to accept that, but they urgently need to” Europe is bigger than 🇺🇸. It’s possible

something extraordinary is happening on Garvaghy Road Northern Ireland. Decent minded protestants & unionists have started to come out to support the Garvaghy residents, against the Orange Order parade madness. This is truly extraordinary. quick 🧵

I watched a reel from @politicsgirl.bsky.social saying we’re all mad and exhausted. Agreed. Those aren’t just byproducts of today. They’re a tool of oppression. So I’ll make my case for better. But I’ll also promote light,love and fun. And hold up a mirror to those on the wrong side of history.

An excellent&long overdue essay on British (lack of) resilience, explaining just how dependent the UK is on circumstances it cannot guarantee itself, and why protecting your security means a lot more than to just spend more money on arms (although that is necessary, too). www.ft.com/content/ba80...

How resilient is Britain?

As climate and geopolitical risks cast doubt on the UK’s ability to cope in a crisis, leaders are turning from ‘just in time’ to ‘just in case’ as a governing philosophy
