Someone just sent me this… And perhaps articulated the whole Labour vs Tory debate better than I ever could.

Instead of asking politicians to put figures on net migration ask them why they’re pursuing net migration pledges at all when they’ve consistently failed, we have chronic workforce shortages & 450% rise in people dying at our borders? Demand better than this insulting rhetoric.

If you genuinely think a predatory man is going to go to the trouble of becoming a woman to abuse women in women’s bathrooms when they can and do just walk in as men you’re an idiot. Let trans women pee you creeps

For the first time since 1979, there will be no European elections in 🇬🇧 "Take back control" = no say on European affairs. A nonsense & a disgrace! Here's to Brits & Ukrainians participating in the next European 🇪🇺 elections of 2029!

Since 3 June when Nigel Farage announced his candidacy, he's been mentioned TWICE as much as Keir Starmer on both BBC Radio 5 Live & BBC Radio 4: 307 & 240 times vs 156 & 127 respectively. The media are obsessed with him & are giving Reform a platform they don't deserve

🎉Announcement🎉 Recently, a public figure made a significant donation of £70,000 to an anti-trans group. This news was tragic but not surprising, however, I decided in response to raise £70,000 (Hopefully more!) for charities who fight transphobia.

I think it’s time for UK journalists of all political stripes to take another look at Farage’s Russia links.

Just look at how life expectancy has been dropping in this country. And it’s not just since COVID/2020. The decline seemed to start around 2010… weird, that.

🧵I am very sorry Julie has suffered this at the hands of men. It has caused her significant trauma, that I do not doubt. I would like to reflect on a few things. The rape was carried out by her friend and the two sexual assaults by two men she was contracted to work for 1/7

Excellent thread

If there is something you care about in this world, I think you should dip into this document and search for it, because you might find something hideous. documentcloud.org/documents/2408…

They partied , they bet on elections , they crashed the economy, they broke every public service, they destroyed integrity and honesty in public office , they paid their mates billions , they put their friends in the House of Lords, they gave their cronies knighthoods, they went

All I'm saying is that if *I* was trying to pull off the biggest jailbreak in history, I'd establish myself as the world's most beloved keycutter, and then get appointed Prisons Minister.

Remember the news story that UK universities were letting in low-quality overseas students that led to the government cracking down on student immigration, which has now driven some universities to the edge of bankruptcy? Turns out it was all wrong. bbc.com/news/articles/…

We don't call transphobes 'transphobes' to 'scare them out' of being transphobic. E.g. saying 'Anita Bryant is a homophobe' doesn't stop Anita Bryant being homophobic. We're identifying a bigotry, and asking society to stand up to it. Everything isn't about you, Joanne. 1/

I hope I’m wrong but this week feels like a dark inflection point for America. The tech bros have got their man on the presidential ticket. My piece for The Observer on the tech billionaires backing Trump. Welcome to the broligarchy. theguardian.com/us-news/articl…

🧵 about #class #privilege and #privateeducation. Watching the Olympic swimming last night and Clare Balding said something in such an incredulous tone which summed up the establishment perspective and how their experience differs. 1/

Frankly, if anybody with £10m in the bank says the can't afford to pay a 2% wealth tax, they should cancel Netflix and learn to batch cook

Southwest Ohio doesn't like this guy, so take it from the folks who know him best. Mr. Vance is just weird - there's no other way to say it. This isn't a guy we want anywhere near the White House.
