Courts reveal Grass is Green and that transwomen are in fact transwomen.

Now, can we all just stop being d**ks to one another?

Assisted dying bill: Plan to scrap need for High Court approval It comes after concerns over the court's capacity to hear each individual case in England and Wales.

While I felt humbled at the difficult decision MPs took (and impressed by the lack of partinsanship) IMHO the right to die bill show now, itself, die.

Watering down safeguards is concern #1 and they're already attempting to do that before the bill is in place.

As friendly as I can be, and please take this in that manner - these defence posts that are going round just aren't working. Continuing down that path - *especially* the comparison against average won't work.

Harder now Labour are in power too - why won't they return the £300m we complain about!

Our c-tax is cheaper than avg. Good. Bradford is dirt poor, it *should* be cheaper.

Political hay is made partly due to Lbr's own goals. Politics is what you do with the remit u have & the story u tell.

££££ crisis + yr long party = incoherence.

This defence isn't resonating with the electorate.

Democrats had power for 4yrs. See how swiftly Trump will wash away any changes they made.

The same can happen here.

The rules must change, the far-right don't play by them.

The left will sow it's own failure by not getting a handle on misinformation.

Bradford Council: we are skint, let's raise rates by 15%.

Also Bradford Council: Let's have a year long party!

Never sat well with me when I was a Labour member and candidate. Utterly woeful messaging - one or the other please.

They'll lose 2026 and be out for a generation.

Labour MP Sarah Champion calls for grooming gangs inquiry Appeal from longtime campaigner on sexual abuse of women and girls increases the pressure on Keir Starmer

Good. A local Bradford one was never needed for a national issue. Robbie Moore never pressed for a national inquiry until it was Labour in power. Opportunistic POS.

Labour MP Sarah Champion calls for grooming gangs inquiry www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

I'm sorry, but no.

When you have an ex-grooming gang member feeling confident enough to run for public office something is wrong.

Our society is sick, grooming gangs and paedophile rings need to be rooted out.

Labour deserve loss after loss if soft on this.

Kemi Badenoch calls for national inquiry into 'rape gangs' Alexis Jay, who led a major inquiry into historical child sex abuse, says changes are needed, not more research.

Labour have called this one disastrously wrong.

The Conservatives, obviously, should have dealt with this in power and don't get a free pass.

Reform will win unless Labour get a grip.

Waspi's not receiving compensation is another unpopular but right move by Labour.

Do the right but difficult things.

Miliband unveils energy plan with new powers over wind farms The change is part of the government's new action plan for meeting its 2030 clean power target.

Almost makes me wish I hadn't chucked in my Labour membership.

Bring essential national infrastructure back to national decisioning and stop NIMBYism.

Build the Calderdale Windfarm.

'I will not touch bread if it is moist': Kemi Badenoch sparks Westminster food fight Starmer says he prefers a toastie over steak after Badenoch claims ‘lunch is for wimps’ and sandwiches are not ‘a real food’

The state of our politics.

'I will not touch bread if it is moist': Kemi Badenoch sparks Westminster food fight www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Yep, I'm aware of all the ins and outs (and I'm not pro-Green space).

I just wouldn't be surprised if Keighley moves further from Labour in 2026.

Comms wise Robbie Moore comes across as the "winner" re: KWVR too.

The problem with this, in Keighley, is every single time a post like this is shown (and it is good news) they will say "why haven't we got our green space?"

Right or wrong, literally every single time a post like this is shared it twists the knife for Keighlians.

Assad going isn't cause for celebration.

It's like replacing Blofeld with Dr Evil.

Repression will be replaced with repression or worse (the region suffered the absolute horrors of ISIS not too long ago).

Good luck Syrian civilians.

Keir Starmers new pledges won't turn the dial.

1) the disaffected left don't trust his pledges and never will.

2) the disaffected right simply don't feel "liked", they don't want competence, they want acceptance.

Only centrists will measure his government on them.

Genuine & bonkers:

In Bradford last night, some teen male randomly shouted "Reform UK!"

When the f**k did a public educated, Putin sycophantic, science ignoring party become a party of protest to be celebrated by the youth?

Yes, I'm nearing middle age.

Today's assisted dying vote was a tough one.

Not sure I'd have voted for it.

I simply don't think giving the government a mandate for death will end well.

The best of intentions may be challenged be edge causes significantly weakening it from its original intent.

Council funding to be redirected from England’s rich areas to most deprived Ministers will also consider local authority requests to raise council tax above threshold on case-by-case basis

The stitching up of council finances to benefit better off is and was always was a scandal .
Funding need is the right move..
As it was for decades before Careron and Clegg

Labour MP’s call for Islamophobia crackdown prompts ‘blasphemy law’ fears An exchange during PMQs has provoked a row over the government’s commitment to freedom of speech

As a former Labour party member (and candidate) it sends an absolute shudder down my spine when former colleagues attempt to bend the law to their religious whims.

Any type of blasphemy law should be vehemently opposed.
