🧵On @thenewsagents.co.uk yesterday, school closures and the lab leak theory were offered as two examples of legitimate questions that were hard to ask. Both have in fact been asked constantly since 2020. But here's a thread on why I think they were wrong and dangerous on school closures 1/12
I think Labour was right to reinstate Abbott, but her speech last month shows why she should’ve retired long ago. She thinks that the toppling of Assad a coup and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is actually a NATO campaign against Russia and the the US is responsible for both. Such an insane worldview.

Congratulations Labour for claiming their honourable spot on the lgbt history timeline next to the chemical castration of Alan Turing, the Aids crisis, section 28, and now trans segregation Well done! One of Keir Starmer’s great achievements, finally YOU can be a bathroom gender cop!
ClaireHam@claireham.bsky.social · 4w agoDear Labour, today you make history by introducing Jim Crow style segregation in the UK at the behest of those who espouse hatred and bigotry.
