I can't really imagine a worse time to start undermining Starmer. It will not end well for the UK
Nicolai von Ondarza@nvondarza.bsky.social · 3mo agoAs an interesting example of the tension between high policy drama around Starmer and the international role of the UK, today UK defence secretary John Healey is hosting 40+ defence ministers for the British-French initiative on a potential operation safeguarding the Strait of Hormuz:

BREAKING: More than 350 Labour MPS are not calling on the Prime Minister to resign as the country finally stabilises after 14yrs of Tory chaos.
Can I just ask, #r4today, as you seem to be very keen to talk about and investigate Polanski’s council tax issue, why not the same feverish scrutiny over the far more troubling and glaringly corrupt £5M bribe Farage took from that crypto billionaire, Harborne? We can hear your strings being pulled.
"You boy - are the media still pretending it's OK that someone who wants to be Prime Minister covered up a £5 million gift?"
I just emailed my MP to tell them to hold the government together and not give in to Reform. It takes two minutes — you can too: holdtheline.org.uk?share=202605...
Hold the Line, tell your Labour MP to stand firm
Reform is the most dangerous threat to Britain in a generation. Tell your Labour MP to hold the line, and refuse to give Farage what he wants.

Semenya will lose. Because female athletes have human rights too. As the IOC has now realised. The equal human rights of female people depend on the recognition that 51% of the global population are human beings with female bodies. In sport that necessitates dedicated female categories.

'This policy will disproportionately impact women from the global South.' Yes it will. Female athletes from the global South will now be able to represent their countries on the world stage. Instead of losing their careers to athletes with male DSDs.
Alejandra Caraballo@esqueer.net · 4mo agoThe push for sex verification tests is rooted in racism and they're explicit about it. Not a surprise they want to eliminate the 3 Black women in this photo.
'Alsalem said that while the policy is not retroactive, it does not preclude the IOC from providing appropriate remedies for past injustices, such as issuing an apology to female athletes who were denied fair competition, and to consider awarding retrospective parallel medals.' Thank you 👏👏👏
