What really leaps out from the full piece is how lacking in any interest in policy it is, and how all the reading that has shaped it is visibly just 'social media scrolling':

People are going to keep insisting that UK anti-trans politics is really composed of jilted lefty feminists even as its leaders are literally running as Tory candidates.

The ridiculous extension of the wait for settled status isn't about putting up barriers to arrival, it's about putting up barriers to integration for people who have already been here for years. It's agreeing with Farage that these people should be treated with suspicion - and leaving it at that.

Just to be hipster about it, I left the Labour Party in 1999 because of their policies on immigration and asylum, before it was cool. They are a bazillion times worse in this policy area now.

There is nothing admirable about a commitment to policy failure. It means you deserve to lose and no one will mourn your electoral death. Least of all your natural supporters.

Which working class voters specifically? Like actually who? Can she point to a data point and construct an actual coalition of voters who wants this and will vote Labour?

You know the irony; trans men and trans women athletes would have backed the female US hockey team. No question.

Before any one says; I am NOT saying this hasn't had media coverage but we all know what the discourse would be now if it had been if it had been a church.

Concerning that someone turning up to a mosque in Manchester at prayers in Ramadhan with an axe is not getting the wall to wall coverage that this happening to another religious building would get.

The President America deserves 😍

Key detail

This is horrific.

the most predictable problem in the world is happening.

Maybe Farage will go stop this illegal boat in the English Channel?

Very old Scottish Police car

Spotted in Golders Green, London???

Very much like the Republicans, they really don't do women do they? Which is a problem since we got the vote.

I do wonder if there is a brain/personality type thing going on too; I think by writing. Taking out the writing bit means taking out the thinking bit.

This is what I say to people to suggest I use AI because it makes writing easier... But I like writing. I take great pride in writing well. And even greater enjoyment from criticising those who write badly...

And there's no public access to the Chagos Islands which Farage will have known before he took a plane to the Maldives.

Well worth a few minutes of your time I humbly suggest 👇👇

Just in case anyone ever the Spiked/RCP cared about "women and children".

On top of this, it really risks tipping Reform into a US oriented, Christian nationalist, socially conservative party in a way that is uncomfortable for a lot of UK voters. The question is if those voters notice or care.

You can’t.

That boat has sailed.

I could have been someone.
Well so could anyone.

Pro-Trump white supremacist with "SS" tattoo who shot and killed family members, is being painted as example of "trans terrorist" by far-Right due to their gender identity.

Comments in support of William Pierce, author of 'The Turner Diaries,' implies shooter was active neo-Nazi for decades.

Please, for the love of god, listen to people righting the alarm bells. Trans rights is what abortion rights was for us feminists for decades. It's never about the actual issues it's ALWAYS about the scapegoating of minorities. Throwing minorities is throwing systemic protections.

There is some great stuff on Apple TV. I bore myself by going on about Slow Horses, but just started Down Cemetery Road which is excellent.

Name which Christianity, you coward.

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.
