The UK Government leans ever further toward what the extreme right demand, instead of confronting it and showing leadership against the tide of racism.

Ordering the RAF to defend Cyprus and other targets with British bases and civilians is a very different proposition from allowing the use of UK-owned bases for US forces to strike at Iran.
The former is wise, the latter complicity.
"using Palantir’s software would increase dependence on a U.S. provider. It also poses the risk of losing data sovereignty and thereby national sovereignty.
"Above all, however, the army’s staff experts say it remains unclear who has access to data shared with Palantir."
🆘 Expert Trita Parsi, senior analyst on US-Iran diplomacy, says a stronger deal than even the Obama-era agreement was within reach before the conflict escalated and could have been a diplomatic win for Trump if pursued.
Trump could have taken the win.
He chose escalation.

How about not taking part in this illegal war waged by a fascist?

Excellent.
May I recommend Libre Office? Replaces MS Office. Open source, free, works beautifully with your former Word/Excel/etc documents.
No hateful AI.
Good and necessary work. Well done.

This is the first time a Kenyan court has explicitly ordered the State to create trans rights legislation and a first anywhere on the African continent. 2/2

Graphic with a purple background. There is a picture of a pink-tinted hand holding a sand timer. At the right side there are two white boxes, the top one says "What will we think when we look back? This Scottish Government only has a few months left." The second box says "Do they want to be remembered for trying to make trans people’s lives better by reforming the GRA, or as being the first Government in the UK to write “biological sex at birth” into law?" At the bottom are the Equality Network and Scottish Trans logos and the link https://equalrecognition.eaction.org.uk/howwillthisberemembered"
The choice made to define sex in the SSI for the Hate Crime Act as ‘biological sex’ as per the Supreme Court ruling will further harm a community increasingly vulnerable to hate. Ask Scot Gov how they'd like to be remembered: equalrecognition.eaction.org.uk/howwillthisb...

It’s not science fiction that makes us nervous about of autonomous weapons platforms breaking free of human command- it’s history.
Control of warriors has been an unending struggle.
The founding myth of the English is of mercenaries who topple a kingdom.
I'm very aware of the radio silence from the big mainstream media outlets on this story.
Almost like they don't want to acknowledge it.
Do they fear it will humanise trans people?

This might surprise people who aren't from the UK, but over here there's a publication that, in order to write for it, you have to be a sex offender.

Cathy Newman @cathynewman BREAKING on @TimesRadio : we’ve unearthed social media posts by a senior officer at the MHRA, the regulator overseeing the puberty blockers trial. 4:49 PM · Feb 27, 2026 · 39.2K Views Relevant View quotes Replying to @cathynewman and @TimesRadio No file chosen Cathy Newman @cathynewman · 1h Posts expressing gender critical views and mocking trans supporters appeared on the X account of Prof Jacob George, MHRA’s chief medical and scientific officer, who was only appointed last month Cathy Newman @cathynewman · 1h His account has now been deleted and the MHRA told us the Prof had been recused from the trial. Stay tuned…
No one will be shocked that overtly anti-trans officials have been appointed to the MHRA puberty blockers trial.
What is shocking is actual journalism being done to uncover them, and that when uncovered they've been removed.
An important step in the right direction.
Watch this space.

Salma Yaqoob @SalmaYaqoob Almost feel sorry for the haters who are trying to spin Muslims voting for a woman in a party led by a gay Jewish man is evidence of Islamist sectarianism In fact it's evidence of genuine tolerance, rejection of superficial identity politics and ability to prioritise tackling common concerns of cost of living, protecting public services and rejecting war mongering. And the promotion of mutual respect and individual freedoms. The coming together of people is terrifying for the ruling elites.
Totally this.
The rightwing hate “journalists” are spinning Muslims voting for a woman in a party led by a gay Jewish man as Islamist sectarianism.
