Which specific part of - jumper - blue - penguins excludes girls please? Me and my penguin obsessed but 'not a boy' toddler will wait... @welovefrugi

I bloody picked my moment didn't I. Ffs.

One of my partners described the current political situation as a WhatsApp group that goes bad and everyone leaves, then the last person in it becomes the group admin by default and yeah... I know no better way to describe how Rishi Sunak is now the prime minister

Someone once described knowing this as intrinsically and automatically as knowing 'up from down' and I... ..... ..... ..... 🤯

Is using "desperately needing a wee and yet not going because you've not finished your email/document yet" a common motivational tool, just me, or another subset. Asking for reasons..

Ah fuck it, THREAD, I guess. I’ve tried to hold my tongue re: the lack of female guitar acts/female headliners/the “pipeline problem” at Glastonbury. But perhaps my experience is relevant. I am a female guitar act. I write big, singalong chorus songs that go great at festivals.1/

The UK Government: ThERe wILL bE an EmErgeNcY alert TeSt At 3PM ALL OF THE UK at 2.59pm #CanYouDoNothingRight

If you are in the UK, when did you get the test emergency alert?

Reposting this meme as we've signed up for another 5 years If there's hope it's that Reform and the far right are really only "popular" thanks to the mainstream elite enabling it Problem is the mainstream elite needs the hype to hide its failure to address various crises

It doesn't feel like it, but Reform barely improve on UKIP's 2015 election. 14.3% of the vote vs 12.6%. 4 or 5 seats vs 1 seat. 98 2nd places vs 120. Not exactly a sea change. Yet seen as very significant given how close they pushed the Tories nationally in the polls.

With the Greens now having the same number of seats as Reform, the UK media should provide them the same platform and level of coverage as Farage’s ilk. Will it happen though? #GE24

unless labour pick up 620,000 votes in the remaining 5 seats still to declare, labour have actually lost hundreds of thousands of votes than their 2019(!) result and won a landslide this time lol

I see all your hot takes but if we had PR voter behaviour would have been different. Voter behaviour adapts to the system you have, hence tactical voting. We very much need PR but the takes explaining what the landscape would be under PR cannot reliably use data from these polls.

Now that we know the electorate isn’t actually gender critical and being a transphobe isn’t an election winner, can we PLEASE go back to ACTUAL women’s issues that need urgent attention? Let’s stop letting the GC’s suck all the oxygen out of our fight for women’s liberation.
