I recall we had a period of time where the response of Starmer and Cooper to concerns about these groups was ‘I like flags’

Oxford Clarion@oxfordclarion.bsky.social · yesterday

Leaders of flag-raising group Raise the Colours Oxfordshire placed trackers on highway workers’ cars to find out their home addresses, the High Court has heard. RTC then attempted to intimidate the highway staff into no longer removing flags by repeating their addresses to them.

"Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband, recently appointed to the role by the new Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, meets Secretary of State Rubio in Washington" is one of those lines that would sound perfectly plausible to anyone in 2015, but explaining the intervening period would give them an aneurysm.

I always think of the example of the WI which has had trans members since the 70s, where the government passed an Act in 2010 that meant they couldn't admit them anymore and but it took 15 years for anyone to notice. Come off it! Of course it changed.

Dishonest! I hate this “the law hasn’t changed, we’ve just clarified what it always meant” thing. Did you think women’s rights didn’t change when the US Supreme Court merely clarified what the Constitution “always meant” on abortion? Of course not.

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.

Our code of practice for services, public functions and associations comes into force today. It provides practical guidance on how the Equality Act 2010 applies to services, public functions and associations. Find out more: https://ow.ly/alIf50Zwrkx

Quote from Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson: 'At the EHRC we want a society where everyone’s rights are respected and realised, so that we can all live well together. Our statutory guidance will help services across the country comply with the Equality Act, protecting service users from discrimination and harassment while reducing the risk of the provider being subject to litigation. As Britain’s equality regulator, our work doesn’t end upon publication of this guidance. We monitor compliance with the law and take enforcement action where proportionate and necessary, in line with our well-established regulatory model and decision-making framework.'

the left, defined very very broadly, probably isn't going to win elections forever, which means we all have a vested interest in the existence of a centre right with a firm cordon sanitaire. that ... isn't looking good.

This is, imo, absolutely the consequence of politicians, media figures and others being actively unwilling to condemn this behaviour

The Times, one of the leading voices when it comes to 'protecting women and girls' calling a man who assaulted his young pregnant girlfriend, said he would rape the kids if he was a teacher and called for child sex abuse porn to be legal, 'brilliant'

Now, I might be underestimating a lot of players here. But I'm not sure that Luis Arraez is the player that makes me move 33 year old Bryce Harper back the outfield for the first time since April 16, 2022.

Matt Gelb@mattgelb.bsky.social · 2d ago

Don Mattingly said the plan is for Bryce Harper to play RF, Alec Bohm to play 1B and Bryson Stott to be at 3B. Luis Arraez will be here Tuesday. Mattingly said the Phillies will have to “ease” Harper into right field, and it’s unclear how they will do that.

One Q at lobby said the PM hadn't done "a single social media post" about draughts or heatwaves: "I don't think he's mentioned us at all in any interviews. How?" PM's spokesman: "The Prime Minister has been in post for two weeks. I think he has spoken and addressed a number of different issues"

It's incredible what can be ground up and shoved into the moral panic sausage casing at The Telegraph. Non-Muslim police staff raising money for charity by voluntarily fasting in some parkrun-esque project is grounds for extensive quotes from Nick Timothy on scrapping the Public Sector Equality Duty

“Non-Muslim police staff invited to fast during Ramadan West Midlands force says practice helps officers understand significance of religious festival for residents Non-Muslim officers and staff working at West Midlands Police have been invited to fast during Ramadan in an “act of solidarity”, The Telegraph can reveal. The West Midlands Association of Muslim Police has said colleagues can take part in a fast for the day during the religious festival to raise money for charity. West Midlands Police said the practice helped officers understand the “significance of Ramadan” for Muslim residents. But critics of the initiative have raised concerns about how effectively front-line officers are able to carry out their duties while voluntarily abstaining from food and water for extended periods. Nick Timothy, the shadow justice secretary, said encouraging non-Muslim staff to observe Ramadan was “wholly inappropriate” and urged officials to scrap the Public Sector Equality Duty, which obliges public services to think about equality and diversity in” Excerpt From “Non-Muslim police staff invited to fast during Ramadan” Sabrina Miller The Telegraph

British politicians' eternal vigilance against non-existent supermarket price gouging is amazing, given the number of *real* exploitative business practices there are out in the world that go entirely unpunished. They know it's not happening, too, they just also know it's popular to claim it is.

This is clearly a real divide in the Scottish Labour left - but stepping back, this sentence is crazy. Not only did Monica Lennon back the GRR reform bill, but every Labour MSP was *whipped* to back it! The movement has been entirely on the other side in the last four years!

Reading this, and thinking about the 2026 election where activists boycotted campaigning for Scottish Labour and LGBT+ voters held with SNP on the constituency and Greens on the list, wondering what on earth the theory of victory is from left-wing transphobes www.heraldscotland.com/news/2642848...
