Am wondering if all of those suddenly deciding they’re against communities living β€œparallel lives” might reconsider their support of religious schools? Or indeed private ones?

@mrjamesob.bsky.social isn’t Jenrick just the UK’s Poundland version of JD Vance? An opportunist without a moral compass, who will say/do anything to further their own ambition.

I loathe ironing. On a list of household chores, I’d rank cleaning the toilet higher than ironing.

It breaks my mind that two British political parties have seen scenes like this and decided to try and replicate it in Britain. Thuggary, lawlessness, state brutality. Farage and Badenoch decided they liked the look of it.

Crank logic. β€œStarmer hasn’t said he’s not planning to kill every puppy in England. We deserve to know why he hates Puppies and it’s his fault now that I’m forced to vote for Farage to save Fido”

As awful as the administration is, the people willingly carrying out their orders are even worse.

It’s vile. Really can’t understand why nothing is being done to hold them to basic standards of journalistic integrity and decency.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.
