The right-wing campaign group that helped topple Roe v Wade in the US is now working to roll back abortion laws in the UK, with the help of Nigel Farage.

Its first step? Trying to create a debate around "free speech"

There was a deadly terror attack on a synagogue here just over a week ago; for many Jewish people it was what they had long feared. The next day, the Labour DPM was booed and heckled at the vigil. I’d be more surprised if a Labour DL candidate wasn’t asked for her views on the context tbh

BBC asking Bridget Phillipson at length about rising antisemitism in the UK (which actually fell last year according to new figures, albeit still very high) but not at all about rising Islamophobia, which is up by 19% year-on-year

“Chris Distefano said that he didn’t want to do it, but that his fiancee had instructed him to “take that fucking money”.”

What a gallant fellow, making out that the person you’re engaged to is a money hungry witch. What a nice chap.

I see Robert Jenrick is supporting Hamit Coskun who is appealing his conviction by reference to the ECHR (which Jenrick wants to withdraw from).

Who knew that the ECHR could be useful, even to the anti-ECHR Hard Right?

I've said it before: anyone who runs down the job that teachers do, even for such nakedly political reasons rather than from any real place of conviction, (a) should try surviving even a fucking WEEK of it themselves and (b) should then go to the bottom of a well.

Greg Jenner @gregjenner.bsky.social · 5d

Just to say that teachers do an incredibly difficult job, with all the right intentions, and can be the defining influence on a young person's life. They are the exact opposite of poisoners because good teaching provides the antidote to so many dangers

JUST IN: The Republican Mayor of Fairbanks, Alaska’s second biggest city, lost re-election last night to a Democrat.

Mayor David Pruhs is a conservative who fought protections for LGBTQ+ residents; he made comments this year drew condemnation this year from Alaska Natives. He lost to Mindy O'Neall.

I have seen two commentators saying Kemi was good and did enough to keep her job and I am genuinely bewildered - how bad she would have to be for this to not be enough?

I feel your pain. Not so long I gave back a wireless hedge trimmer I had borrowed from a friend so I could do the necessary as required by my lease.

Sadly it was not wireless when they gave it to me.

Nothing is cursed, least of all you
