Something I've been thinking about a lot lately is how when a driver does something wrong, the public and media don't smear all drivers as reckless assholes. But when a cyclist — and especially an e-biker — does something wrong, all bicyclists get attacked and blamed.

What would the Green Party do at the Budget?

💡 Cut energy bills by ending profiteering
🚰 Cut water bills by bringing water into public hands
🏠 Give councils the power to control rents
🚸 Lift the two-child benefit cap and extend free school meals to all

Cut Bills. Tax Billionaires.

Farage cited Enoch Powell as his political hero in an interview in Total Politics magazine in 2008.

In 2014 he cited Vladimir Putin as the world leader he most admired.

You want this guy as your next prime minister???

@rosiewrightingmp.bsky.social REPEATEDLY accused @zackpolanski.bsky.social of lying to the British public, giving it "false hope".

1) When Zack asked her to give a single example of his lying, she just waffled.

2) Why doesn't Wrighting complain about PROVEN porkers Starmer told to win leadership?!

I wonder how many in Labour's inner circle realise they're part of the last ever Labour government?

Letting Reform in when a different direction was possible but deliberately ignored is a sin 1000x worse than student fees were for the LibDems. Voters will never forgive it.

If it's the model I think it is, 230kw across 4 wheel drive, will accelerate 2+ tonnes of Beamer to
60 MPH in a little under 5.6 secs. Meanwhile your 20kg ebike is limited to 1/1000th that power and cuts out at 15.7mph because "safety"

Britain is one of the world’s richest countries. Why do a third of children live in poverty?

It is a political choice - years of austerity, real wage cuts, regressive taxation, unchecked profiteering, disappearance of social housing, hijacking of govts by corporations/rich.

Child poverty has reached a record high in the United Kingdom as the country’s cost of living soars and its social security safety net falters following years of government austerity.

A political Xmas lunch:

Starmer: I have a 5 point plan for the veg
Reeves: Peel the potatoes until there’s hardly anything left
Streeting: Don’t eat too much - there’s an NHS calorie tracking app!
Davey: Wahay!
Farage: I’m having Russian borscht

...there's nothing wrong with disagreement. Few still loyal to labour (and that's a tiny number in itself now) are in that position from an intellectual basis. They're the red flag loyalists, all they've got left is abuse

Labour activists are gunning hard for green party supporters. And it is backfiring spectacularly, at least from ratios of likes and responses to my posts. It isn't convincing anyone, they're doing their cause massive harm...

All the supposedly progressive people saying 'Nigel Farage's racism doesn't matter. His fans love it'.

It matters whether the leader of the party leading all the opinion polls is an outright racist. It matters if he called black people 'wogs' and said 'gas them' to Jews. Not everything is a game

Here: Streeting and Labour invest £10 million into manufacturing the “evidence” they need to legitimise their cruelty towards Trans+ youth

Elsewhere, in the real world: Scientists - yet again - prove that access to Trans healthcare, including HRT, dramatically benefits Trans+ young people
1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.

It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.

It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

Transgender care saves lives.
Study In The Journal Of Pediatrics Finds Trans Youth Care Lowers Suicidality, Few Detransition
The groundbreaking study found that suicidality dropped for transgender youth receiving hormone therapy by nearly 70%, with only 7 patients of 432 discontinuing treatment.
