Marvellous work, she’s allowed Zack Polanski to sound magnanimous and given him cover for the next time one of his guys is revealed to be a Holocaust denier or whatevs

Joshua Bonehill-Paine is apparently rehabilitated and Kemi feels that his work around training people on antisemitism is so important that he should be allowed to stand for public office. He is also anti Muslim but there is ZERO mention of this from her. What beliefs does he still harbour on this?
I'm catching up with Sewing Bee. A sewer cut up BRAND NEW storage bags to make a dress to highlight environmental concerns. I mean really. Bonkers.
understand why Ben decided to highlight the sentences he highlighted here but I would argue that the sentence that comes immediately afterwards was the real gut punch for me
Ben Collins@bencollins.bsky.social · 22h agoOh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.
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

On FB this memory "popped up" of our little tango featuring my son as guest star with my friend's birthday balloons. The loon.
The state of this. A lovely day out for Badenoch and Philp, playing dress up and making pronouncements about early release schemes - having left the country with one hundred available men's prison places, after fourteen years in charge. You read that right. One hundred places.
saying this not as a dig to Paul but as a general point, but it does worry me that we've ended up in a world where the two options are seemingly "leftist bubble" or "oh hey the nazis are here" - surely we should be able to have a politically heterogenous platform with tight rules on hate speech etc?
Paul Bernal@paulbernal.bsky.social · 2d agoThe new CEO of Bluesky wants to change Bluesky from being a leftist bubble. The thing is, there’s nothing wrong with being a leftist bubble: the idea that everything has to be all-encompassing and suitable for everyone is a trap. 🧵 1/4
