It’s disgusting for the Conservatives to ask Jewish groups to meet their ex-neo-Nazi candidate, presumably in the hope he will charm them and they’ll offer their blessing. They should not expect Jewish people to sanitise this appalling choice. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Tories offer Jewish groups meeting with ex neo-Nazi activist candidate
Joshua Bonehill-Paine was jailed over neo-Nazi activism, but has been selected to stand in a new Somerset Council seat in 2027.

I'm as shocked as you are, dear reader, that the leader of the Conservative Party would omit to mention or factor in the 11,651 prison places that were closed over the same period due to either prison closures or cell dilapidation.
Full Fact@fullfact.org · 5h agoAndy Burnham has claimed only 500 prison places were added between 2010 and 2024, but Kemi Badenoch says the Conservatives created 14,000 new places. Can these two claims add up? We’ve had a look at the figures 👇 fullfact.org/crime/how-ma...
Last week, Russia charged the founder of Telegram with assisting terrorism But rather than the terrorist activity the app has become notorious for, Russia's action relates to Ukrainian spies The irony is that Russia has been using Telegram to recruit saboteurs for years inews.co.uk/news/putin-l...

The Tory "plan" to send prisoners to foreign jails isn't getting enough scrutiny. What is the legal basis for banishing British citizens to Albania? Whose laws are they subject to? How many prison staff have to go over? Are family visits just abolished? How many prisoners are we talking about?
"groups that campaign for sex-based rights welcome the clarity it brings." ... And then goes on to explain that it's not that clear, in practice.

Once again, I come back to the fact these guys have created a situation where one of the UK's leading, cis female athletes is scared to go to the loo alone, and the fact that they are celebrating this as a step forward for women's rights.

This is a very good explainer of why the EHRC code is surprising even within the current case law This is a legislative issue, the law will need to change to unravel this mess, but a greater degree of accurate clarity for duty bearers on these points would make a big everyday difference until then

In Dec 2024, Mazraoui refused to use a Man Utd jacket with support to the LGBT cause because it was against his religion. Today, Man Utd has announced a partnership with a betting company & yes, he was seen wearing a shirt with the sponsor on it So just a raging homophobe hiding behind religion

This is a repeated pattern Burnham has already displayed - portraying environmental protection and economic prosperity as zero sum, sacrificing one for the other. It might be canny short term politics, but it’s a horrible message that validates the culture messaging of the climate deniers

Yep. Earlier this year I was interviewed by Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media is aiding the Trump administration’s Epstein cover up.
