then, the transphobes , feeling victorious at how many people they have made unhappy and despairing in the previous week, move on to anything else that has a spectrum and the possibility of more colours than they can conceive - such hateful people - they cannot understand anything that is not THEM

🔴 Farage's Reform took in £10M in donations in last quarter - more than any other party.

£9m of that came from one donor - Christopher Harborne.

The same Harborne who gave Brexit Party £10m+, mostly after BXP stood down from Tory seats in 2019...

Couldn’t really be more starkly apparent that the choice is now Billionaires or Democracy, IMO. We can have one or the other but not both, as this system is currently constituted.

a side note: you can learn *a lot* about British journalism when you realize that Boris Johnson was fired from his first job in it for serial dishonesty, and then promptly hired into a new job, where he continued to make up lies.
Not to pat my profession on the back, for all of our problems, but I do think it's to the law's credit that every US bar association that reviewed Glass' application for a license went "fuuuuuuuuuuuck no."

It is IMO not possible to operate any kind of meaningful democracy when your national press is a joke and a travesty, but your mileage on that may vary. I think it’s incontestable that it is impossible to govern well and effectively, while being in hock to these pantomime clowns.

UK now at the point where the former Chair of the Racial Equalities Commission is calling for campaigns of terror against people of colour on the streets of the UK
Trevor Philips in the Times, calling for a Trump/Miller-style of random deportations based on skin colour.

The ironic part is that anyone who repeated any part of the obviously fraudulent cancel culture drivel should now be required to explain whether their behaviour was malevolence or idiocy, and there should be quite severe reputation consequences for anyone who can’t give a satisfactory answer.

This is the key thing IMO: if we stick to the rules, all of our leaders are going to jail for decades for assisting war crimes. How hard will we be enforcing these laws, do we think
This is my prophesy, here. I don’t think democracy can survive an era where all the most important people have committed crimes so bad, they should be sent to jail for decades. Something else will have to replace democracy, because these cunts going to jail is intolerable.

🔴 MPs are banned from been paid to give 'political advice' - but Lords can.

And guess what? Many Conservative shadow ministers in the Lords are being paid by the industries they’re meant to scrutinise.

The Jewish right discovering in real time that the Trumpist right, and the open bigotries it has unleashed upon the US body politic, is not in fact going to spare Jews, is quite a trip.

Ok but Christian Calgie is the Express political editor. He's a journalist. And in his frame, he's "got them" to commit to this. I mean, that's weird, isn't it? Isn't that a strange thing for a journalist to say?
This from X is a striking example of what I argue in today’s column. Reform and the Tories are out here gleefully saying disabled people on Motability should be forced to drive a 3-wheeler, like a scarlet letter. The stigma is not an accident - it’s the design.
