Is the government trying to end civil disobedience?
MPs have voted in favour of banning Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation. @MrNishKumar.bsky.social and @Cocobyname.bsky.social discuss what a move like this says about Labour's values.

Really lovely chat with @mrnishkumar.bsky.social and @cocobyname.bsky.social today recording @podsavetheuk.crooked.com After the chaos of the vote, I worry I do very much sound like a woman who was still drunk from last night’s bender. But for the record: I was just high on codeine. Out tomorrow!

Jeremy Hunt wasn’t convinced by her passion for tax - but @GarysEconomics is. Catch PSUK live at Crossed Wires festival on 6th July to hear radical ideas for fixing our broken system. It'll be good!

David Lammy accuses Labour MP Zarah Sultana of "click baiting" after she quizzed him on continued arms exports to Israel.
Is it click bait to hold the government to account or is it just doing your job as an elected representative?

Is Starmer playing to the far right?
The PM's incendiary language intentionally or otherwise has evoked the ghost of Enoch Powell.

From ‘cleanfluencers’ to home gurus, the ideal of a spotless home has never been so aspirational. But why are women still being told that inner peace is only a bottle of disinfectant away? @cocobyname.bsky.social discusses with @emmahcasey.bsky.social ➡️ linktr.ee/bunker_pod
Labour are wanting to get down with the public by upping their social media game. @mrnishkumar.bsky.social & @cocobyname.bsky.social just wonder whether they'll be able to land the tone.

Fascinating chat re our alarmingly fragile food supply. Maybe it’s the feature writer in me but I love subjects like these - it’s the ‘where the rubber hits the road’ stuff of politics, it’s abt people’s daily lives. Check it out on today’s episode 🎙️ and pick up some extra tins later!🥫
03.04.2025 10:14 — 👍 5 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0But people like Tate have crossed a line. The man literally coaches men to dominate through humiliation /abuse. Like I know lefties don’t wanna be seen as censorious (and have a bad habit of being too much so) but there has to be a line. At the very least such content should not go to kids, surely?!
27.03.2025 23:43 — 👍 7 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0One thing i’d add, having seen criticism that progressives should be wary of supporting censorship: I hear that point. Would def want any online harms regulation to be meticulously scrutinised to avoid political dissent being scooped up with it

I’ll be at @thetroubleclub.bsky.social nxt week, chairing the first (of what will hopefully be many) virtual news evenings. Imagine a women’s book club but instead of a book you read the news, then discuss over🍷☕️ without fear of ruining relationships or breaking the ‘no politics at the table’ rule
