I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork

The Institute of Economic Affairs Banked £640,000 from Oil Giants and Murdoch The Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) – the anti-state, anti-climate pressure group – received more than £640,000 from fossil fuel companies and Rupert Murdoch’s media conglomerate between 1957 and ...

🔴 REVEALED 🔴

The Institute of Economic Affairs – the anti-state, anti-climate pressure group that "incubated" Liz Truss – was bankrolled by oil giants and Rupert Murdoch’s media empire.

Interestingly, there have been a lot of edits to the online coverage of the Sandie Peggie reports.

This quote seems to reflect that - there was an assumption at the BBC (and elsewhere) that it was raining transphobia and they hadn’t bothered to look into it and check:

Sure, we're the weak and decaying ones...

SUTR SCOTLAND ANALYSIS PIECE:
Falkirk unites against the far-right, Inverness humiliates the fascists

Anti-racists and anti-fascists across Scotland scored two crucial victories today.

Shit bot then aren't ya.

What I will never understand #47754
Why didn't the Labour govt make the eradication of child poverty it's no.1 aim from day 1? Getting rid of 2 child straightaway, adding the benefits cap. Great optics, would have given them such good will. Instead they are being dragged there kicking and screaming.

I can't be bothered to find the David Lynch clip, but you know which one.

Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

Add in immigration policy, economic policy, everything else. One side is listening to extreme actual Nazis and the other side is listening to academics and policy wonks. In sum; we're fucked.

The cognitive dissonance between Twitter and Bluesky on Girlguiding and Women's Institute policy change is a thing to behold. Where are the British commentators? Twitter. That is the problem with British political discourse - right there.

Human rights are women's rights and trans rights and race rights and disability rights and class rights. And it will never be one without all the others.

My last committee meeting was The Baronness's first meeting so I didn't even have the opportunity to resign in disgust.

Full disclosure; I've been a member of the Scotland Committee of the ECHR and that's a blight on my career.

She has also said she is a "friend" of David Goodhart. So seriously, if you give a shit about women or people of colour, this is not the person for you. The institutional capture of the EHRC has been a blight on the UK for years. Let's draw a line right the fuck now. (She was appointed by Liz Truss)

I'd just like to add that this was a person who said "race is not socially constructed" to anyone with an ounce of racial justice analysis. Let's not even get into gender analysis.

Off you fuck.

She thinks she's the main character.

I think it's worth noticing how completely major media institutions have just gone along with the project of sacrificing the national economy on the altar of "some people in marginal constituencies don't like hearing foreign accents when they go out"

UK’s new digital-only immigration system creating exclusion and fear, study finds Obtaining an eVisa to prove their status or right to legally reside in Britain is causing migrants high levels of stress

The shift to a "digital only immigration system" is already causing distress and exclusion for many migrants.
Our work with the University of Warwick has shown significant issues with the system.
We will be launching our report later today detailing the problems.

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

Labour bearing down on immigration will fix this any day now.

We're watching the wholesale burning of every scrap of dignity afforded to trans people in the UK, their rights, their medical services, their employment, their place within society, their bodily functions.

It is a disgrace, and a disgusting stain on the government and media of this country.

Lots of associations are in a very difficult position because they are being relentlessly attacked by transphobes backed by massive amounts of money. The whole strategy is to bully these orgs into submission to make everyone else afraid to be inclusive. It's really sad.

My mum's done over 38 years for GirlGuiding. A Queen's Guide, she ran Brownie troupes, was a commissioner, even had her Brownie troupe at her wedding.

Tonight, bc of this decision, she has requested immediate removal of her membership because she stands with ALL women and girls, not just cis ones.

There are going to be so many girls leaving the Girl Guides because of this policy change and not going to Scouts because they want an inclusive girl-only space. Slow-handclap Gender Criticals, making life worse for women and girls every step of the way.
