I thought that recent interview with Gary Lineker was very revealing in terms of just how partial impartiality is
Reform have currently won more seats than all other parties and independents put together - all those people who through complacency or complicity have drawn us closer to being a far right country being run for the benefit of a few super wealthy people should be ashamed - but they won’t care

The UK needs an alternative to the Labour party. It has completely failed & will turn the country over to right wing Reform in the next election.
@jeremycorbyn.bsky.social or or the outcast labour MPs need to form this alternate. Independents don't have name recognition for people to vote for them.

Labour losing one of its safest seats shows what happens when a government cuts disability benefits and winter fuel payments, keeps the two-child benefit cap, and panders to anti-migrant rhetoric:

Reform wins and always will.

This isn’t the change people voted for and it shows.

Trans women are women and Trans men are men. No ruling will change that.
Never forget that laws will evolve with progress. Minor setbacks will be used by Transphobes to make you think that the world will not be better in the future. Progress can never be stopped by anyone.

My brain bracket did well getting the final two and the winner. Ofcourse, the polar bear won. Have you seen any video of those guys?
Unfortunately, the UK time and busy work kept me away from being able to follow the posts live.
POLAR BEAR IS THE #2025MMM CHAMPION!!!!

You know what I’d call for if I was prime minister - more funding of youth clubs , extracurricular activities, and mental health support - but showing a film looks like concern while costing very little

BREAKING: Yuval Abraham, co-director of Oscar-winning documentary "No Other Land," says Israeli settlers beat his co-director Hamdan Ballal, injuring his head and stomach — and then Israeli soldiers invaded the ambulance he was in and seized him.

Ballal's whereabouts are now unknown.

As usual in the end, it's greedy corporations using the cruelty of racism. America is a prison system for anyone not rich and white.

Israel has repeatedly defied the UN, its resolutions & international law. Member states must act.

Yet at PMQs, the Prime Minister said his government is “doing all we can” — except imposing sanctions, ending all arms sales, military support, trade & diplomatic ties with Israel.

In under 24 hours, Israel has massacred over 400 people in Gaza — including 174 children.

Words of condemnation ring hollow.

The UK government must end ALL arms sales, trade & diplomatic ties with a state facing genocide charges at the ICJ & leaders under ICC arrest warrants.

Every week, I speak to people in my constituency struggling with mental health.

Many are worried about feeding their kids, paying the rent or losing benefits.

Britain's mental health crisis is the result of political choices. This government is choosing to push more people into despair.

£6 billion in cuts to welfare & disability benefits that will push 700,000 into poverty — instead of taxing the super-rich.

Spending on weapons of destruction — instead of helping the world’s poorest.

These political choices are cruel.

This isn’t the “change” people voted for.

The disappearing of Mahmoud Khalil, a person with permanent legal status in the US, should be a red line that everyone should recognize.

They knocked on his door and vanished him into an authoritarian system without a trace.

Your door could be next.

So It Begins: The Disappearing of Mahmoud Khalil and Authoritarian Capture

Everyday, we learn how the west being champions of human rights law is a lie. Human rights are innate. In support of the unsinkable army state of the US, the true face of all the western states is laid bare.
Look out for your communities, Be kind to each other, Don't trust the law to protect you.

A sad day for America—Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University activist, has been arrested by ICE, not for any crime, but for his political activism. The Trump administration claims he was involved in “pro-terrorist” activities, yet no formal charges have been filed.
