Heath's argument is that both Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage accept a foundational principle that ethnic minorities can be British (so can be part of future conservative coalitions) while Restore's project has the premise they are not. He sees this as foundational for the modern British right.

Farage must resist Lowe’s entreaties, and refuse to give up his own principles. His longstanding ban on BNP members joining his parties was far-sighted. It was a mistake for the Tories to help Lowe obtain a seat on the public accounts committee. There are, and have always been, enemies to the Right: they take a different form in every generation. Farage and Kemi Badenoch must continue to build multi-racial, multi-religious small-c conservative coalitions, and reject Lowe’s repugnant dance with white nationalism and religious discrimination. If a deal is to be done, it will be between the Tories and Reform. Sensible Right-wing commentators and politicians must speak out now against the bad apples on their side, or bear responsibility for the coming catastrophe.

Once again for those at the back, Vimes is *not* about wealth. It's about poverty. If you keep trying to make it about wealth, you're showing your own focus and ignorance. It's about how expensive it is to be poor.

Burnham seems to be commanding the battle for the attention economy 36% have seen content from Burnham - including over half of 18-24 year olds. 16% have seen Farage content, no one else cracks 10%. Some of this will be the prime ministerial pulpit; but it’s lodging with people.

(1/2) I hope no "gender critical" (anti trans) folks went to/are planning holidays to Spain. In Spain: - Trans people have proper rights & aren't legally persecuted; they can even self ID since 2023 - Many toilets are unisex, often a communal room with male or female signs on different loo doors

How much water do data centers really use, why do they use so much, and is it a problem? I talked to researchers and industry experts to understand the true water footprint of the AI boom: Gift link: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Why Do Data Centers Use So Much Fresh Water?

The artificial intelligence boom has inspired one of the largest infrastructure build-outs seen in decades: Tech firms are investing billions into constructing the data centers powering AI. This has m...

After the Kansas Supreme Court ruled abortion is legal in the state constitution, the GOP has tried to change the makeup of the court. A measure to directly elect justices, thereby making it about money & partisanship failed yesterday. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

Kansas voters reject GOP-backed measure to directly elect state Supreme Court justices

The Republican-controlled Legislature referred a constitutional amendment to the primary ballot after the state Supreme Court ruled against the party on issues like abortion.

The net result of the single sex space ruling will be fewer female toilets. It's up to businesses to enforce and to avoid headaches/arguments with vigilante trans hostile customers they'll just make all their loos unisex. Slow hand clap for the gender critical ‘feminists’.

Jean Imbert, accusé de violences conjugales par plusieurs ex-compagnes, placé sous le statut de témoin assisté

Au total, six ex-compagnes ont été entendues par les enquêteurs et ont « toutes confirmé » avoir été victimes de violences ou de contrôle coercitif de la part du cuisinier, a précisé le parquet, qui a retenu des charges au préjudice de deux d’entre elles.

And yes I am speaking here as a cis woman and the effect of this on me, I am acutely conscious that all this bullshit is far more damaging for my trans sisters and siblings, but I can only speak from my own experiences on this, and, just, how fucking DARE they try to undo progress like this

Wangleberry@wangleberry.bsky.social · 15h ago

Look I know I am not saying anything new here but I am *raging* that a bunch of self-proclaimed 'feminists' are in fact doing the work of patriarchy by trying to force us all back to a place where women must conform to a narrow set of stereotyped standards. FUCK OFF. I LIVED THROUGH THE '90S.

Worth adding that some trusts have introduced formal “red card” systems banning repeatedly abusive patients from non-emergency treatment, and from October 2025 employers became legally liable for third-party harassment of staff unless they’ve taken reasonable preventive steps.

Plenty of posts on X saying that no, those who refuse care from non white medics and call them vile names are not racist, they are just protesting against poor care they claim foreign doctors provide. Yeah right. There are bad doctors, that's for sure.

Social media is full of claims that China is doing AI "right" and China is claiming that youth unemployment is falling Yet, in 2023 Peking Prof. Dandan argued that real youth unemployment 46.5% China has produced record university grads, threatening elite overproduction Propaganda isn't reality

Badenoch is a complete clown. She refuses to select people who support net zero policies (which where originated by her party) but she is ok to welcome former Nazis. Can't wait for the next time she starts lecturing other parties on anti-semitism... #r4today

I mean I'd be in that top group. I fully believe in people's inalieable right to give themselves food poisoning with badly cooked food if they want to, but when they're setting fire to the countryside doing it, and everyone in Manchester can't breathe, that squarely fails the harm principle.

65 per cent of Britons are owner-occupiers. General elections are won in the Midlands. Most people have a middle class occupation. The United Kingdom's comparative advantage is in services. These aren't facts that Philip Gould invented in order to make Labour feel sad.
