The problem with elections being presented via the trolley problem is that there is only one track, and the switch just changes the colour of the vehicle, and everybody dies.

Have a read. But also, we should just ban adverts.

I wonder is MPs reliance on Twitter explains why they are so dismissive of polling evidence presented by progressive civil society on issues such as climate change and wealth taxation. There's a real "I don't believe these numbers represent the real public" vibe to alot of MPs

It's been a long time since I've said this... But... America... Fuck Yeah!!

Andy Burnham is asked about Rosebank and Jackdaw oil and gas fields. He says "Use of our resources can support and accelerate a clean energy future" We are truly down the rabbit hole with this utter nonsense. Invest in renewables, insulate homes & say no to fossil fuels.

Different Chancellor. Same old Labour.

The BBC are so obsessed with poppies they pinned one on to Cookie Monster, I don’t think they’re genuinely scared of showing symbols related to charities.

this Armistice Day i think all UK trans women should change their first name to Poppy, it's time to destroy this country with the pure unbridled rage of uncontrolled meltdowns

on the left: political, brand. on the right: apolitical, not brand. easy.

weird how the BBC doesn't blur out all the brand names during Match of the Day though eh

To be fair, she said did not think that BCC blurred it out for its transphobia, but for brand rules: - ”i think I made a choice to wear that T-shirt without considering the fact that it was linked to a charity, and that it was linked to what some people consider a brand,”

Let them eat cake? That's so French Revolution. Let them eat gherkins.

Jackdaw won't bring down energy bills. Everyone knows it - even the Energy Secretary. So why is the Prime Minister suggesting it will?

Labour knows the consequences of the climate crisis. Their own words prove it. Yet when it comes to Jackdaw, they’ve put the fossil fuel industry first.

@mycr.bsky.social Just read the Fan Advisory Board minutes, and I'm absolutely loving how MYCR come across. Breath of fresh air, both for Wrexham, and football as a whole.

Jackdaw is climate vandalism. Labour are putting Shell's profits before people and planet.

And she's now in my 'Labour MPs adopting far right policies' block list, for transphobic bullshit.

If you want to know where we are with transphobia, this is a *Labour MP* whose mum was *in hospital for a medical emergency* and she's still more worried about a trans person *in a mixed-sex ward* than about, for example, her mum

“Burnham wouldn’t be there without Zack, because we won four times as many votes from Labour as Reform.” Green Party Deputy Leader Rachel Millward, on BBC Newsnight, discussing Zack Polanski’s influence on moving Labour to the left.

We've won big this year - and our wins have forced the Labour government to change course. But we need far more and urgently. From climate action to an emergency brake on rents - we'll keep the pressure on to bring about the change this country needs. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Greens can move Labour in the right direction, says Zack Polanski

The Green leader tells his autumn conference that a vote for his party can force changes from Andy Burnham.

"The purpose of these schemes was found to have been to artificially inflate the club’s revenues, and reduce its costs, by more than £900 million." That is an absolutely massive sporting fraud. www.premierleague.com/en/news/4727...
