I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as β€œthe most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

My attendance record in the European Parliament was the 4th worst out of 751 MEPs, yet I managed to turn up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian misinformation.
Thankfully this is of no interest to the media.

Completely agree.

As an anarchist I’ve never joined a political party.

Today I did.

With Tommy Robinson rallying the far right, silence isn’t rebellion.

Joining the Greens under @zackpolanski.bsky.social is my act of defiance: the only party willing to call Reform what they are - fascists.

'centrists' are the problem not the far right. it's 'centrists'

if you got rid of 'centrism' you'd have the far right talking bollocks and the left talking sense. instead we have the far right talking bollocks & 'centrists' saying 'yes you are correct but impolite... also fuck those loony lefties'

COP30: UN climate summit drops mention of fossil fuels from draft deal A row over fossil fuels has broken out at COP30 but this is also likely to be a negotiating tactic.

UN climate summit drops mention of fossil fuels from draft deal
3O years of failed climate summits that cannot bring themselves even to mention fossil fuels as Earth hurtles to a climate that last existed over 3 million years ago
This is betrayal to all life on Earth

Labour's manifesto promised the NHS would be "publicly owned and publicly funded"

It would be a massive mistake if the government introduces new private finance, breaking their promise and against all the evidence

WELL DONE to the 40 Labour MPs standing up to say NO to new PFI

A screenshot of a Facebook post where a person named Andy ask the Well now β€œWhat the hell is transgender?”
The Royal Canadian Air Force account response with β€œThat’s a pretty big question asked in a pretty small way, Andy.

β€˜Transgender’ putting  describes someone whose gender – who they know themselves to be – doesn’t match the sex they were assigned at birth. It’s not new, and it’s certainly not a fad. People have lived this experience for as long as people have existed; we’re just finally talking about it openly.

You don’t have to fully understand it right away, most learning takes time, but we can always start from a place of respect. That’s how decent folks handle things they’re still getting used to.”

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…

Harman explaining that actually, horrible migrant crackdowns are left wing politics and if you - a white person - don’t like it, then you are actively harming people from ethnic minorities. An outrageous insult to the public’s intelligence IMO, offhandedly dropping a dog turd onto your dinner plate.

Love to be an organisation obligated to ban people if I think they're trans, but every time I'm playing Whoopsie that's a cis person roulette, and if I'm wrong I get sued. And there's no reliable way to establish whether I can be sued for banning them or NOT banning them without going to court

Today has been a massive victory for anti-migrant voices.

Not only is Labour doing 90% of what they want, but they're also making it much easier for them to get the remaining 10% later

Shabana Mahmood casually saying they're gonna take migrant's jewellery off them has got me thinking about that scene in Schindler's List where the Jewish family wrap family heirlooms in bread and swallow them.

Nothing is a better demonstration of the anti-scientific nature of banning trans women from sports than the fact that the IOC's OWN STUDY found no evidence trans women have any advantage over cis women in sports, but they're planning on going ahead with banning us anyways
