It's almost annoying how smart the idea is of taking over the Church of England. It's weak as fuck, but has institutional power and loads of assets. And what is the pushback really? Do loads of anti-racists atheists have to join to fight them off? Can they truly be arsed?

So, just to confirm, the BBC can’t keep Robin Ince on the air because his trans allyship brings the organisation into disrepute, but they can keep David Walliams, who performed Nazi salutes at the recording of this very show, on the air despite him being predatory towards women. Cool. Very normal.

Starmer has aligned himself, again & again, with Trump, not Mamdani.
Even as Trump’s regime works actively to promote Farage & nationalist politics across Europe.
But then again, from Starmer’s behaviour you’d think he’s promoting Farage, too🤷♀️

The govt's proposed new asylum laws are impractical, ineffectual, and outright cruel. Aping the rhetoric of Reform won't fix the real issues in this country; it will only stir up more false divisions and endanger already vulnerable communities.
