All I’ve seen is claims there will no longer be any “public spats”….

Not trying to be obnoxious but I struggle to see how teaming up with a bunch of social conservatives is going to help us swerve “barbarism”?

I think it was @hannahfearn.bsky.social who was asking what's up with the govt's ability to read the room ...
In what world is the response to high-profile and vocal groups of parents raising concerns about teens and smartphones to propose digital ID for teenagers?

Leicester and Marlborough have got to be up there 😭

It means that the approach even to tactical voting is entirely different- there are over 40 seats where Greens came one or 2 in the last election - will you sneer at Green voters there?

What about in Scotland and Wales where Plaid and SNP are taking over Labour? The Stein equivalence is a poor one

Do you realise that in the UK we have an entirely different electoral system from the US?

The resistance to electoral reform feels like the worst of things can’t better small c conservatism.

It is just a no brainer - watching the government continually ignore the flashing red lights that have been going for years is like slamming your head against wall repeatedly.

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Lib Dems are chasers, shock of the century

What was it like?

Genuine question as I’m not super knowledgeable on this - aren’t there loads of other places they can build that just aren’t on national parks?

Also comparing criticism of the flags to TERFs delegitimising trans identity was um… pretty interesting x

I can’t wait. I feel like Bluesky is so dry about this stuff, there is no appreciation for camp on here 😭

Also lowkey a homophobic and transphobic policy 😭

Her hubris is the ugliest part of her diseased mind.

In normal times one would think Leavers would realise it's a vote-loser. But that's not the point: as with trans rights they're trying to change public opinion through constant propaganda. It took little over 7 years to go from the cusp of Gender Recognition Act liberalisation to de facto abolition

This is devastating but hard to think of more important journalism. 18,457 children have been killed in Gaza (many more not accounted for). Here, The Guardian prints their names and beautiful faces and tells us what they were like before Israel stole their lives. www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...

I know it’s not every members no1 priority but there are a lot of LGBT members who do feel very strongly, and it’s just… barely been mentioned.

And there’s loads of issues like that were there just hasn’t been a discussion of any kind. So odd.

It’s been a very odd deputy leadership election - barely any hustings or debate, very little substantive holding to account by journalists.

As a former Labour Party member I’m pretty gobsmacked that ie Phillipson has managed to conduct the whole campaign without being pressed on trans rights once!

That guy is awful bsky.app/profile/eliz...

I dont really fully understand what you’re saying here.

I certainly am appalled at the expectation that young people especially WC ones are expected to act as mere units of economic output and I think wider attack on uni attendance is part of that.

Obviously with short form post can’t say it all

This isn’t “conservative” it’s reactionary bollocks.

I continue to be appalled every day at the rampant anti intellectualism of our political culture.

As someone who read English at uni, and would hardly identify as “patriotic” our literary canon is one of the most cherished and special parts of our heritage.

Obviously all artists are engaging with capitalism blah blah

But the levels of greed and overconsumption that have become central to the “Swiftie” phenomenon is so gross to me.
