Can't wait for all this to be reversed like Section 28 and everyone to deny they ever supported it.

Being racist to people providing healthcare, the most patriotic thing a person can do in my opinion, is the clearest example of how this wave of “patriotism” we’re being told to accept was never about patriotism It’s white nationalism, pure and simple
There are newborn children with greater survival instincts than moderate Conservative MPs.
Tom Roberts@tpgroberts.bsky.social · yesterdayAbsolutely crackers, extremely self serving as a defence as there is absolutely no chance she'd extend this same benefit of the doubt elsewhere, which becomes obvious in the, factually incorrect, statement on early release she can't resist tagging on at the end.
I think we're generally much too chill about how mainstream and normal this weird, obsessive anti-Irish stuff is in the UK. #speirgorm
Guys will listen to male influencer bullshit about needing to have a six pack and manipulate everyone and meanwhile women will go “you know who is the sexiest fucking guy I’ve ever seen?” and post this
Looksmaxxers: I need to hammer my jaw until it’s shaped like finely-sculpted clay and have a hairline straighter than the borders of Utah. It’s the only way to attract a woman Women: I would destroy ten galaxies for a night with James Gandolfini
This is, imo, absolutely the consequence of politicians, media figures and others being actively unwilling to condemn this behaviour
Charles EP Murphy@cepmurphy.bsky.social · yesterdaynews.sky.com/story/nhs-st... stereotypically this has been seen as Old People, but not only would the old people of now have often been born post-Windrush, lot of this will be younger people who've always lived in a diverse Britain.

This is how racist norms have been systematically eroded, by editorial decisions across mainstream media that racism is should no longer to be condemned, but instead treated as an equally-valid political political position.
British journalism is unrivalled. Re-litigating Covid lockdowns 6 years on for no particular reason and in full amnesia mode, collectively deciding Badenoch is doing really well because Burnham has definitely revived big two party politics as of 5 seconds ago, its banger after banger!
it is so funny how personally devastating this must be for starmer and his supporters and their entire theory of politics

Long past due that billionaire JK Rowling funding all this lawfare was ended. Legislation could easily fix this.

Sure, Jared Leto is a creep with multiple allegations to his name over the course of two decades, but you have to understand that he's also a mediocre actor who's a nightmare to work with and whose movies are critical flops that don't make money.

There is not much evidence of Labour Scottish folk saying anything at all about the fires, frankly, presumably because admitting they're happening, and that climate change is here, interferes with their insidious wish to drill more oil to support their failing UK project.
Suzanne 🇵🇸 she/her@rummlie.bsky.social · last wk.If there's a massive wildfire in Scotland that the UK PM is ignoring because he's too busy rating pies and being a DJ for TikTok, the First Minister of Scotland should be able to call in military support. Fuck Andy Burnham and his fucking appalling attitude.

Everything about this looks like a 30 Rock joke, right down to it looking as if it has cost only about as much as a 30 Rock joke to put on screen.

The outgoing Environment Secretary, Emma Reynolds, exemplified the problem. She spent her final weeks in office ripping down controls on industrial chicken farming, which destroys our rivers. She did so at the behest of corporate lobbyists. Her job before joining the government? Corporate lobbyist.
Jo White is seriously bad news for anyone who cares about justice in migration. Her views are very right-wing communitarian, makes Mahmood look liberal. Pretty clear now that the Burnham government will be significantly worse than Starmer for immigrants.
Colin Yeo@colinyeo.bsky.social · 2w agoSounds like it is Anna Turley as Minister of State for Border Security and Asylum and Jo White as Minister for Migration and Citizenship. Turley was formerly chair of the Labour Party. White was chair of the Red Wall group of Labour MPs.
Anushka Asthana observed this several times - how come Starmer was so generous and considerate to his peers, and yet he was a relentless bastard to everyone he considered inferior and beneath him? And the explanation should be obvious to anyone who’s had a job, or been to school.
