I agree. Men know they're men so why should women have to challenge them?! Just stay out as has always been expected.

Staggering arrogance and stupidity from McDonnell. We all know what sex we are. There's no reason for men to break the law and use women's single-sex spaces. They can simply respect women's boundaries or can be told to leave. Women matter in society, law, culture, politics ... and elections!

Nigel Farage discussed fronting far-right group led by Steve Bannon Footage shows Brexit party leader calling Bannonโ€™s plan a โ€˜fightback against globalistsโ€™

This video should be far more widely circulated. It shows the British patriot Nigel Farage discussing how to make the UK subservient to MAGA-dominated, Hungarian and Indian far-right aligned globalist networks. On film.

Whately (Tory) walks onto #BBCLauraK and is instantly crash-landing: whines about Motability (which Tories expanded), admits sheโ€™s got no idea how many people use it, gets schooled by Kuenssberg that itโ€™s 1.1m not โ€œmillions,โ€ then squeaks, โ€œI was making a general point.โ€ Absolute Tory clown parade.

Politics that makes a difference Over half a million children, lifted out of poverty

This is a great thing for the PM to do.

It reads a bit too much like internal Labour party literature at times- no need for the dividing lines stuff/sloganistic headlines etc in this medium.

But overall it's very positive and look forward to reading more.

Policies are mostly different but itโ€™s the tactics they use which are similar - exploit dissatisfaction with promises youโ€™ll probably never get the opportunity to implement

Most discussions about โ€œmisinformationโ€ treat the problem as if people simply donโ€™t have good enough critical-thinking skills. It sounds intuitive, but itโ€™s not entirely accurate. The problem isnโ€™t just individual ignorance, itโ€™s the structure of the information environment people are placed into.

Young people on benefits to be offered construction and hospitality work The government says it will fund training and work experience for 350,000 not in work or education.

Bad article by the BBC here on a hugely important policy announcement from the Labour government.

"Young people on benefits to be offered construction & hospitality work"

Truth: they are 2 example sectors for 1 part of the plan, which has at least 6 different types of bespoke support.

1/2

Itโ€™s easy to make sweeping promises when you never have to deliver on them.

Conservative Helen Whately humiliating herself on #BBCLauraK

She starts by complaining about Motability which the Conservatives actually expanded

Then acknowledges she doesn't know how many are actually on Motability

There were a number of people quoted in the article as well as Polanskiโ€™s own words

The Greens under Polanski have more in common with Trump than they care to acknowledge. Both populists also like Farage in that respect. No time for populists of the right or the left
