Fuck the labour party yesterday, today, tomorrow and forever.

Fuck the people who voted for this.

Fuck the people who campaigned for labour.

Fuck the trans people who told us we were being silly when we said they'd be worse than the Tories.

I guess I'll just never leave the house again then?

Other authors are being put into an impossible decision, like Sacha here:

The prize committee really need to fix this if they want to have any support from the community.

I wonder what other parts of the community they're willing to reduce to an "issue"

Well done Nicola. It's nice to see that some authors aren't complete roasters

The blank piece of paper that cost taxpayers ยฃ32,000 Government โ€˜obsession with secrecyโ€™ descends into farce

๐Ÿšจ New: The UK government spent ยฃ32,251 fighting to hide a blank form.

Yep - 30 grand plus to avoid releasing a blank template of the ministerial interests form.

A wild story - with a surprise twist. Would read to end of this one... ๐Ÿ™„ (๐Ÿงต)

there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort.

It aired in 1990.

Picture of Drew on the left and me on the right. We're both in white tops with blue dungarees and big smiles. There's a blue domed church behind us, and behind that is the Santorini caldera.

In a just society, Kate Forbes would have been kicked out of the party for refusing to back the manifesto she stood on, and for being an unrepentant bigot.

Delighted for women, for queers and for other marginalised communities that she's standing down.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

I'm meant to be on holiday in Athens right now, but KLM cannae organise a piss up in a brewery!

Flew Edinburgh to Amsterdam and then they cancelled the Amsterdam to Athens leg and said I wasn't entitled to another flight cause I'd used the first leg? Absolutely terrible service hahaha
