Starmer's says Iran must 'return to negotiating table' — where they were when US/Israel attacked them Iran was at the negotiating table when US and Israeli strikes began — yet Keir Starmer is urging Tehran to “return” to talks. Huh?

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

On social issues specifically, Labour have shifted so far to the right that they could "move to the left" by adopting Theresa May's positions on immigration and trans rights, which is an absolutely unreal thing to be able to say of the architect of the Hostile Environment, and yet

The real threat to democracy doesn't come from 'family voting'. It comes from the losing side refusing go accept they've lost

Labour MP Ian Byrne: "The lines from the PM and Cabinet today essentially labelling the Green Party as extremist is appalling, desperate and frankly embarrassing.

"It also makes very clear that the leadership has zero understanding of where it has been going wrong."

a sombre morning for british columnists as they move their "The electorate has spoken, we must listen" articles to the recycling bin and upload their "the greens victory shows just how far the west has fallen" articles instead

Regret being glib about this in my initial post, the fact they want to create a law based on punishing those who help refugees and name it after a prominent Jewish politician whose family fled pogroms is disgusting. The fact they don't realise it makes them look like Nazis actually makes it worse.

When people say “race is a social construction” it can often seem abstract. The use of “Judeo-Christian” as a seemingly natural ethno-religious category—despite centuries of anti-Jewish expulsions, pogroms and mass killing—is a good example of a political project constructing identity to gain power.

Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible “America at 250!” achievement

Matt Walsh whose followers sent repeated bomb threats to multiple children's hospitals has thoughts on violence

Not sure if he is signaling to Nazis or he’s this stupid.

Feminists and specific women should aim, instead, not to achieve a reconciliation with men but to accumulate enough material power into our own hands so that men’s hatered no longer endangers our safety or constrains our prospects.

HELLO I WAS A QUEER TEEN IN THE 1990s AND THE ARGUMENTS AGAINST SOCIAL TRANSITION NOW ARE INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM THE ARGUMENTS AGAINST "LETTING" US BE (at the time, for me) GAY OR LESBIAN THEN.

They all rest on the belief that it's inherently better to be straight (then)/cis (now) and that's BS.

Revealed: The true toll of female suicides in UK with domestic abuse at their core Exclusive: Research suggests official statistics could track as few as 6.5% of the true number of cases

I hate to link to the guardian but this is an important piece

R*p* is effectively decriminalised in the uk, violence against women is skyrocketing and this

We are a sick culture where those who should act want to push anti trans legislation instead

If children were more politically active they would be quite pissed to be told that their screen time is “the most urgent public health issue” while the largest measles outbreak since the vaccine sweeps their schools because of conspiracies that the adults in their life believed from social media.

And to be honest there have always been de–facto functional—if not de-jure legal—exceptions to free speech, statements that you can’t make without likely ruining your life. Most prominently these are “free Palestine” and “that man raped me.”

“For Women Scotland”, for those who don’t know, comprises precisely three (3) women.

Screenshot of Tommy Ten Names, claiming he's afraid and fleeing the UK.

Just checking, it's now ok to flee your homeland, because you're afraid for your safety, and seek refuge in another Country?

Glad we've cleared that up. Let's hear no more about immigration and refugees then.

Quite striking the part of the Palestine Action judgment dealing with the right to respond prior to proscription and the cases relied upon.

Bank Mellat: Banks get right to respond re financial sanctions; but
Begum: an individual gets no right to respond re citizenship-stripping.

Prior abortion or miscarriage not linked to increased risk of pre- or postmenopausal breast cancer A prior abortion or miscarriage was not linked with an increased risk of developing pre- or postmenopausal breast cancer in a study published in Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica.

A new study has shown that miscarriage or induced abortion is NOT a potential risk factor for breast cancer, contrary to continued anti-choice propaganda. Even several abortions or miscarriages does not increase risk. The study used high-quality Finnish registry data.

It is so embarrassing that it has taken nearly a decade for a British minister to say this, a statement of the absolute bloody obvious

Listen to this. Not a penny more for this. Abolish and prosecute anyone who had anything to do with it.

The pivot to video is a tax on women's time and dignity, I will die on this hill.

If Starmer & McSweeney finally go over the revelations in the Mandelson files

Their toxic immigration plans must go with them.

NO MORE politicians in the pockets of the seedy rich blaming the outcomes of their greed & corruption on immigrants!

One by one, Europeans mentioned in the Epstein files who still hold political office are beginning to resign or are being forced out of office.

Meanwhile, ruled by an administration almost entirely made up of Epstein associates, the US carries on as if nothing really happened.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
