Off the top of my head I'm wondering if they have a program which posts to both sites, but the one you linked to has Bluesky account links... (previously I've seen posts like this which have X links)

Obvs Reform would have offered them more for the other way around?

I hate it that supermarkets keep changing between lumping them together and separating them apart! And you have to remember how each one does it!!!

Though biggest upset for me is Lidl just discontinued their vegan lasagne 😭

I'm not sure if that is a euphemism or if Daddy Pig was actually on the menu

We could just try being a tough home secretary like Cooper, May, Patel, Blunkett etc.

Well did it work for those people?

No, it never does. I mean, these people somehow delude themselves into thinking it might, but...

... But it might work for us.

At least 2 of those movies plots would allow the line "Get away from her you bitch!" to be in the script, possibly 3?

So bad men make women lesbian? They aren't allowed to have any natural feelings or any say on the matter?

If there was also a band called Romanzig I'd be in the mood

I was looking forward to either being in the Rapture so I'd get away from all this mess, or if all the people who claim they really deserve to be in the Rapture just fucked off then life would also be nicer.

Sadly let down

Because they want to get it all out of their system before they get taken by the Rapture? Has your's started yet cos I ain't feeling it πŸ˜•

If Farage thought he could hook a billionaire he'd be applying a bit of lippy and blusher like the best of them

Used to follow him on Twitter, don't know if he is still active on X. Was great fun, wish he was here...

I think all we can say is it isn't a great deal for whoever he is representing.

Whilst he is a former Facebook/Meta guy is it still them?

So from this thread all I can see are people who don't consider themselves right-wing are actually doing their work in blaming it on "centrists" or "left-wing" and not on the actual people who are right-wing who are doing the actual terrible thing of really closing down free speech!!!

Even before I knew anything about Streeting he just appears to have a "know it all" smug look of someone emotionally dead behind the eyes

"take their own advice as well as adhering to our code"...

And who's advice should they seek? I thought that's what the EHRC was supposed to be helping with?

Or maybe she thinks they are expressing concern at how tired she is? "Go put your feet up, have a nice cocoa and watch a bit of telly"?

"Streeting also said the government would try to find a way forward that gender and trans activists could live with."

As some GCs just want trans people to not exist or, as one TERF told me recently, "no puberty blockers so we can spot who they are" I'm not sure where compromise will be found...
