Many see this as being 'single issue' and that is correct. It's quite easy to be 'single issie' when that 'issue' is your life.

I get that people want hope. You think trans people don't? But we need more than visions and words. We need a governemtn determined to undo what this Labour government has done and Burnham has only carried on where Starmer left off in that regard.

If a politician crying on a stage in a speech he would have planned meticulously is all you need to jump back on board the Labour train, you were never really off it and care more about performative politics than actual cruelty.

As unprofessional as it may be, I suspect I will be shouting "we have been saying this for years" a lot today. Harsher immigration policies don't just ruin individual lives, they damage the economy, reduce jobs, and generally harm the whole country.

Condemnation is pure hot air if in the next breath you’re telling everyone you’re doing your best to give the fascists what they want, just without the masks

In fact, these are scenes we have not seen on British streets. Immigration needs to be deal with, I will be the first to say that and we are dealing with it. The boat crossings have been halved since six years ago, net migration is down massively.

one aspect of the experience of women in the workforce we understand very well: trans women often know firsthand what the unearned respect afforded to men feels like & can usually tell you precisely when we realized we were no longer receiving it.

TiL that "Breeding Insights" is not just what you'd call the Sniffies magazine, but also a thing you can get from an internet-connected smart ear tag for your cows. www.701x.com/xtpro-tag

Every day, the stories from the UK read like a dystopian novel.

Screenshot of a Reddit post from r/transgenderUK titled "Excluded from school for supporting a trans girl." A parent describes their daughter, who has Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (CAIS), choosing to use the boys' restrooms in solidarity with a trans classmate who was forced to do so, resulting in her being excluded from school.

While doing canvassing can be great in multiple ways (electoral impact, socially etc.), one of the reasons I wish more political nerds would do it is as it’s by far the most effective way to learn that the majority of voters are disinterested, ignorant, and hilariously ideologically inconsistent.

Fellow Millennials, there is nothing more dangerous than a retired parent who doesn't know what to do with themselves. Make sure your parents have time-consuming and expensive hobbies *before* they retire. Birding is good, it gets them out of the house. But quilting, or model trains works too.
