Anyone who had genuine concerns about youth gender medicine would staunchly and wholeheartedly support social transition. Let kids explore their identities to see what works for them!

The fact that this movement opposes even pronouns and haircuts shows that it's just bigotry all the way down.

That’s still three people doing one job

Only Keir Starmer could take a position intended for one individual and turn it into a triumvirate.

left wingers who oppose raising retirement age literally hate their voters and want them to die so right wing cunts can enslave their voter base while voting in Hitler +34 policies

At what point does it become abusive manipulation?

It’s insane that they’re genuinely doing the “How cute, he thinks he’s driving” thing to Keir Starmer

He's going to give a vague statement to Trump in person and Trump will think it's about something completely unrelated to ICE.

Labour deserves to be annihilated after tonight. Actually brain dead party.

This one will do it

He and Cummings now have the chance to create the most god-awful podcast together.

From the Observer, it's actually happening, oh my god

Ed Miliband backed into second favourite to be next leader on Betfair, now has marginally shorter odds than Wes Streeting.

Hearing that Fianna Fáil has a new head of strategy

(This is a Kwarteng moment)

The way he’s just openly saying he was the de-facto prime minister

Can’t believe the UK Prime Minister just resigned like that!

Ireland is a typical, developed democracy. Elections take place in an environment where the general public have a range of political parties to choose from, operating in a pluralistic media landscape, with totally free, secret ballots, after which Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael win

Only problem is that you have to be an MP to be Labour leader and I don’t see a situation where the Labour leader and pm posts are held by two separate people.

Lammy having better judgement than Starmer ☠️

WaPo editorial board when TX imposes a legislative gerrymander: don't freak out guys! Not a threat to democracy!

When VA responds to TX with *referendum* on their own gerrymander: brass-knuckled hypocrisy, anti-democratic gamesmanship.

There is hypocrisy here, all right, but not from VA.

the perils of being a commentator

JD Vance going to Italy like Francis I in 1525, and with a similar result (humiliated in or around Milan)

He’s a plant!

TIL Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II commissioned a portrait portraying himself as a plant.

Interesting contribution on AI from the Social Democrats (who support Mícheál Martin accepting the invite to the White House): they say they will draft legislation so that everyone enjoys “copyright-like ownership” of their own image and voice, so as to effectively ban deepfakes by stealth

*almost

I’d be surprised if it was *that* soon but I can see it happening. Main obstacle is does anyone in Labour want a leadership election going on alongside a by-election?
