Transphobia has been weaponised to unpick safeguards against all forms of hatred, which is a lesson in the importance of solidarity.

A mainstream “journalist” calling for a British MP to be deported. Is it because I’m Muslim? Next time, just say it with your chest.

Plus if a report is written that isn’t convenient for the government, the government is well positioned to bury it.

Fortunately this pollster is not very credible due to how they find people. They’re also associated with the ghastly Matt Goodwin.

Admittedly there are more credible pollsters (like More In Common) showing relatively similar things.

This isn’t a credible pollster.

What a dismal period of history when the Equality and Human Rights Commission is trying to rush the government into obliterating a minority’s human rights.

The tax traps are a problem which should be addressed, but realistically the thing making young people struggle is the cost of housing relative to what their parents and grandparents had to deal with.

The tone of the entire thing is absolutely disgusting and I can’t help but I’d feel that if I was an Israeli too. Laughing, joking, millennial whooping.

The word Palestine and Palestinian is completely missing.

Well they’ve already had great practice on our democracy going after trans rights and access to healthcare.

You don’t actually believe a word you’re saying do you?

They are failing to appeal to those voters, their attempts to do so are resulting in bad policy (inevitably when pandering to a cohort that wanted Brexit), and their attempts to do so are turning off left and centre left and even centre right voters.

It’s electoral suicide.

It’s a strategy that is very clearly failing.

Incredibly accurate painting of an apple for a kindergartener.

People surprised that some formerly sensible left-leaning or liberal women are now apparently full of admiration for white supremacists, rapists and genocide might note that their entry point for far right radicalisation was invariably a belief that transphobia is ‘feminist’. Just saying.

Getting rid of a progressive tax without having a credible plan to pay for it… doesn’t sound like a brilliant idea to me.

I hope for a day where Cass is dragged before an inquiry and asked to justify her words and deeds.

The right wing parties’ economic plans are complete lunacy. Essentially paying for massive tax cuts with cutting woke stuff and welfare (but not welfare to wealthy pensioners…)

There is no way to explain economics that most people in the UK understand. They simply don’t have the foundations.

Fed Up Toby @feduptoby.bsky.social · 12d

It’s certainly not a solution for the housing market, but it is a terrible tax which should be replaced. As far as I can tell they are replacing it with enormous cuts to welfare, which is fantastical and grim.

I think you have to remember that, when all is said and done, Badenoch’s primary political achievement is wrecking trans people’s lives.

The media was complicit in allowing the government to rig a review into trans healthcare — why would they stop now?

It feels like a strawman. There are masses of parallels to the 1930s in what now happens in America. There are also many differences… but their existence doesn’t mean things aren’t headed in a similar and dark direction.

Not remotely surprised to see this kind of thing in the critic.
