“You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?”

“Because that’s what they are”

Let’s see if he’s got the courage and decency to take up the invitation. I’m not hopefully but I will pray he does!

#cofe pray! Pray we don’t end up here. It is truly horrific. It’s frightening too and I simply don’t understand why people can’t see it. Is it hidden from them, do they choose not to look, or do they see but turn away?

I am astonished daily now by Badenoch’s sheer stupidity. How did she rise so far and be so vacuous

So, the plan is to cut English, the arts, and sociology - the degrees that actually study culture - while on another part of your platform claiming to “defend” British culture.

It’s performance nationalism with a reading age of seven.

Badenoch: Curb students taking 'rip-off' degrees such as English
The performing arts, sociology and anthropology are among the subjects the Conservatives would like to cut

ME/CFS is a devastating condition that has long been denied, dismissed, psychologised and underdiagnosed. Research is at last starting to catch up with it, with glimmers of hope for those who have been left untreated for so long.
There's a huge BUT coming ...🧵

Scientists develop first ‘accurate blood test’ to detect chronic fatigue syndrome

Research could offer hope for ME patients – but some experts urge caution and say more studies needed

This is the sickening worrying thing. Even tho I’d never have voted for them and rarely agreed with they’re policies, it used to be a party where ar least you could have some respect for the ability and character of some of their MPs. U can’t name one now that I’d rate.

This is one of the most evil things I’ve ever seen.

LaIslaBonita @laislabonita.bsky.social · 2d

It doesn’t. These people have no idea of the real teachings of Christ they are either just cynically using it or are in the grip of ‘Christian Nationalism’ increasingly imbued with /based on white supremacy. It’s vile. Nothing of Christ here.
