At this moment, every single person supporting Labour is fighting for a far-right government in the UK.

Zoe Leventhal KC, representing the minister for women and equalities, argued that the guidance may have been too simplistic in suggesting that, for example, a trans woman should not use a women's toilet in a public space. She suggested that it could be judged on a case-by-case basis.

While remaining a neutral party to the case, Bridget Phillipson's lawyers have told the High Court they don't think the EHRC's proposed blanket bathroom ban is the right reading of the law

the right winger who was appointed to lead the BBC in the hope of appeasing right wingers has been driven out by right wingers for not appeasing right wingers enough and the BBC has the chance to do the funniest thing ever

The BBC's senior leadership resigning en masse over one dodgy edit in one programme, simply because the right wing press demands it, tells you everything you need to know about where the power really lies in that relationship

Once every 20 years or so, the director-general of the BBC is forced to resign for being insufficiently rightwing. Alastair Milne in 1987. Greg Dyke in 2004. Tim Davie in 2025. The great irony is that the BBC was in all cases profoundly biased towards established power. But just not biased enough …

‘Enforced veganism’: Ofcom lets GB News flout accuracy rules, say climate campaigners Exclusive: Regulator has received 1,221 complaints about UK broadcasters since 2020 but found no breaches of its code

Incredible that Robbie Gibb - most influential person on BBC board by many accounts and from journalists I speak in BBC - was involved in setting up GB News.

GB News of course has breached Ofcom rules on *multiple* occasions - no sign of resignations though

guy said, “Do you like Marx?” I said, “I haven’t met him.” Guy said, “No, no, he’s dead.” “Wow, what happened?” “No, no, he died long ago.” I thought the guy Marx had just died. So then, “Why are you asking me if he died long ago?” “No, he wrote a lot. He wrote that poor people should not be poor.” I said, “Sounds amazing.” I’m giving you a sense of how naïve I was. After they left, I went to the library to look for Marx. So that was my introduction to Karl Marx. BS: The FBI. MM: The FBI. Then, of course, I took a class on Marx. Couldn’t just get Marx out of the library. But,

good morning specifically to the FBI agent who introduced Mamdani’s dad to Marx

You have to survive. There are graves to piss on that haven't been dug yet.

Remember the rule, folks – if it's outside a politician's home, it's "toxic behaviour", but if it's outside a so-called 'asylum hotel' it's a "reasonable concern" www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

remember when Reagan had his press secretary mockingly imply journalists were gay if they tried to ask if the president was doing anything about HIV/AIDS in an attempt to bully them into not talking about it

(he was, if you count defunding the CDCs research on it at the height of the epidemic)

A VICTORY BUT OUR LIBERATION IS NOT YET WON

THE BUSINESSES THAT PUT IN POLICY BASED ON THIS GUIDANCE HAVE SHOWN THEIR TRUE FACE.

THE MPs WHO REVELLED HAVE SHOWN THEIR HATRED

THE EHRC CONTINUES TO PETITION FOR RESTRICTIONS ON OUR LIBERTIES

THE CYNICISM AND REVULSION PERSIST

WE RESIST NONETHELESS

When it comes to intimidating racist protests including outside our homes or place of worship, Black and Asian people are supposed to just accept it and the government saying “we hear you” and “it is right to protest this” and “I love flags me”. No thought of “cumulative impact” for us!

Oh my god.

Have I Got News For You just referred to this completely false claim as a fact!!

A new FOI release shows how the DHSC gave anti-trans lobby groups like Sex Matters & LGB Alliance direct access to shape policy on trans healthcare. These groups push for restrictions that leave trans people waiting, suffering & at risk of suicide.

the press gallery in the house of commons 2024. About 120 people, POC can be counted on one hand

I wonder why the House of Commons press lobby might be clueless of what racism actually is. Not representative of the UK (17% people of colour) and certainly not London (46%) where most of them are based (2024 picture)

of all the dumb shit that sucks these days, the dumbest and pettiest shit that sucks is the way people fetishize debate. i would like to revert to the old roughly agreed-upon cultural understanding that debate club is for boring friendless nerds

this is that thing i was saying last week about the loss of a moral element in politics - vavuely centrist people scared to ever say "I don't care how popular it is, it's still wrong"

So we're going to force brown people to do unpaid labour against their will? The british do have previous on this one, but I think we gave it another name.

Keir Starmer says he's known for 10 years that the left has got it wrong on immigration & wasn't listening to peoples concerns

Really? Because 5 years ago he said the left wasn't bold enough in talking up the benefits of migration.

He really is the most duplicitous politician in my lifetime

“Show your Btitcard to use this toilet” innit

london-based journalists being normal about anywhere north of the Watford Gap for one second challenge (impossible)

Note how we’ve moved from concerns about people arriving irregularly in small boats to wrecking the lives of people who are by definition here entirely lawfully

Ademólá. @OgbeniDemola White people in South Africa still cannot speak Zulu even after settling there for almost four hundred years. Keir Starmer @Keir Starmer 10h If you want to live in the UK, you should speak English. That's common sense. So we're raising English language requirements across every main immigration route

Kirk’s ‘memorial’ getting a live coverage on The Guardian is a great example of how the right gets automatically framed as the default political movement to be ‘understood’ while the victims of that same movement never will never get the same amount of coverage

In the 2010s, this country's elites were thrown onto social platforms with everyone else and could finally read what we all think about them and it caused them so much psychic damage that they decided to destroy both the internet and democracy to make sure nothing like it ever happened again.

Every pundit who took at face value the idea that the Right sincerely cares about free speech, or ideological diversity, or in fact has any principles at all, should be wearing a dunce cap and writing a lengthy mea culpa right now. Not for our catharsis but for public awareness at least
