I thought I had caught Restore in some brilliant trap because Restore calls for banning halal butchering so he’d also be inadvertently banning kosher butchering—‘haha!’ I said, ‘Lowe’s caught himself in a right pickle!’ I said—but lo and behold, he admit it!
Burning fossil fuels makes wildfires more frequent and more intense. Of course those who have made record profits causing the problem should pick up the bill.
Not many people know this, but in America, the Edinburgh Fringe is called the Edinburgh Bangs.
The EHRC code of practice comes in today, bringing in to the UK the most draconian regime for single sex spaces targeting trans people for a liberal democracy in the industrialised, under what is our nominally left of centre governing party.
British politics & those professionally employed to comment on it, make a great deal more sense when you realise it is largely an explicit joint enterprise to ensure the Tory Party remains a respectable endeavour, no matter the depths of evil, duplicity or crackpottery it descends to

Only Dan Hodges could come to the conclusion that the Tories are fine doing antisemitism because at least they admit it’s what they’re doing. I can’t believe people willingly choose to read his opinions.

The Tories have selected a convicted former Neo-Nazi as a councillor. Here's why that reflects very poorly on Jeremy Corbyn.
It really isn't a "conspiracy theory" to state that at least one of the reasons Burnham won't investigate Epstein's abuses in the UK is because he was given his seat and enabled to become PM by Labour Together, an org founded and managed by acolytes of Epstein's friend Peter Mandelson.

Victims’ minister said earlier that PM was ‘looking into’ inquiry into Epstein and another into Mohamed Al Fayed

important to remember this is not new information and was known at the time. a choice was made to conflate Berger's dispute with her local party and the serious crimes she was a victim of, and that's on the part of journalists as well as Berger herself.
Kate@rebelraising.bsky.social · yesterdaySo Luciana Berger was abused by a fascist who is now a Tory candidate despite his criminal conviction over it, but at the time she allowed everyone to think that the whole thing was about "the antisemitic Labour left"?
It's never been so obvious that the Scriveners Guild has their own NATO Article 5—an attack against one is an attack against all. In this case, the response entails forming square around the cadaver of a bloke who repeatedly questioned the illegality of pædophilia & committed domestic violence 🙃.
Bluesky is not a "liberal bubble". It's just one of increasingly few public spaces where Nazis get called out, and if that makes you uncomfortable, you need to think about that.
Why yes, yes I will say rude things repeatedly about a dead person who called in print for the mass murder of 100s of 1000s by thermonuclear weapons [amongst all the other violence against the living, esp the vulnerable & marginalised, he tirelessly advocated for]

Also a truly incredible thing that just as the press have very clearly decided they’re going to stomp Farage down and move back to a straight Tory vs Labour fight, the Tory leader has decided that is the perfect moment to declare “actually this neo-Nazi is helping to fight extremism (left wing)”.

A rare 9-0 SCOTUS ruling. Will enable "special laws to make the Palestinian Authority submit to US jurisdiction against its will if it continued to provide families of martyred Palestinians with salaries." Just layers and layers of hypocrisy.

The main reasons "centrists" want more right wing voices on any platform is so that their own views get less scrutiny and they can default to being the "truth" in the middle. "Centrist": 100ks more people should've died of COVID Their fash friend: Millions. "Centrist": See I'm moderate.
Reminder that the Tories believe any non-British person who commits more than a minor parking or traffic offence should be automatically deported. They “believe in second chances”, apparently, but only for literal Nazis.

Incredible shit here: the guy Badenoch is defending was sent to prison for sending racist abuse to the MP Luciana Berger. Who then did a whole series of interviews and columns talking about her criminal harassment by Nazis, in a manner intended to make listeners believe it was done by Labour members

The burden is always on us lefties to welcome them, debate them, compromise with them, find middle ground, and generally make them comfortable. It’s totally one directional. No one is calling for Truth Social to make any room for us.
