Excellent news. Nobody more deserving of having a shite time after getting what they wanted than the prime minister who delivered the UK into fascism's gaping maw.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social This is my seat. Labour knocked yesterday and claimed only they could beat Reform. My wife argued this and said Green data showed they were closest challenger. Labour knocker continued to lie and their leaflet showed 2024 data. Don’t vote Labour. They are liars.

The new, poisonous “guidance” for trans kids in schools has no foundation in science or medicine. It forces trans and non-binary kids back into the closet purely for the comfort of a loud, radicalized minority. And that’s gone so well, historically.

Palantir, a US spy-tech firm, has been given access to millions of NHS patient records.

Its founder has said the NHS should be 'ripped up'.

Join me in calling on the government to end the dangerous Palantir contract.

Stop Palantir taking over our public services!
Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir.

May Labour's Yvette Cooper, the former Home Secretary, be remembered always as the politician who imposed the ban at the behest of Britain's powerful weapons industry, so it could continue to profit from the deliberate massacre of the people of Gaza

I’m not playing this stupid game with Reform or any of their multimillionaire groupies, vilifying immigrants and moaning about the benefits bill from their tax havens and Dubai penthouses. Then lying about what they said and why.

Reform is a racist party. Relying on racist votes for power. End of.

Twin Cities population: 3 Million
ICE agents sent: 3,000
Months spent: 2+ Mo
Immigrants they kidnapped: 4,000

Homan claims this a success rate. I think this shows Minnesota KICKED THEIR ASS ✊🏼

4,000 people kidnapped by 3,000 agents over 2 months is like if each agent they sent kidnapped 1.3 people.

There are some Star Trek fans weirdly obsessed with “decorum” and they really fixate on how Holly Hunter sits in the captain’s chair on STARFLEET ACADEMY. One guy left a comment on the official FB whining about it and so Captain Janeway herself responded to drop the hammer

RSing this thread again.

i would have been classed as a “gender questioning” back then, i knew i wasn’t a boy before i finished primary school. but also i didn’t know anything about being trans until i was a teen - because of Section 28. it took me ~30 years to come out.

this is state torture.
The children who are being talked about, when the phrase 'gender questioning children' is used, are very very often, trans children.

The UK school policy for 'gender questioning children' is impacting on trans children.

The efforts to push 'desistance' are being pushed onto trans children.

So, it looks like the new DfE guidance on trans students in schools incorporates recommendations from the Cass report. Suffice to say that is an *incredibly awful* decision.

Here's a thread with my analysis of Cass on social transition from back in 2024.
In Chapter 12, Cass considers social transition.

As per §12.2, this might include haircuts, clothing, name change, and pronoun usage.

Homan proven a liar. Again. This happened after his press conference.
Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.

Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.
