Kemi Badenoch's stance on this is truly bizarre!

It's so obvious to most people that these measures to tackle misogyny, and worse through additional resources, teaching and support for all young boys are necessary.

In what world can someone oppose it?

Maria Shriver, niece of JFK:

He was a man interested in the arts, culture, education, language, history... It is beyond comprehension that the president has sought to rename this great memorial.

C’mon my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny... It’s downright weird.

Ironically, they were some of the loudest voices commenting that the Government’s comms strategy was poor and people don’t know what their strategy is (while inwardly smirking because they’re the ones who have been blocking us from finding out).

Yes.

- Mass deportations and deals with the Taliban if need be.
Also racist then. Next?
- Oh… anti net zero.
Remind us who funds you again..
- Leave the ECHR.
Prejudiced, ignorant and ruinous.
- Cancel all improvements to our Brexit deal.
EU-phobic and deeply stupid.

Etc, etc….

Well exactly. They’re a campaign outlet powered by racism and resentful ignorance. It’s genuinely terrifying to think people would vote them in to actually govern us.

Reform tried to dismiss questions on Farage’s racism, saying they should be asked about the ‘substance’ of their policies instead.
Unsurprisingly, their policies are shit too.

My lesson from 2025: Reform is much more vulnerable than it appears | Gaby Hinsliff

Possible postponement of elections next year.

I listened to the Ministerial Statement on this yesterday.

Opposition parties: Labour are cancelling elections

Labour: some councils have been in touch asking about postponing elections. We are writing to councils...

Art in Nature?!? Yes, in Hong Kong

Kismet maybe...🤔

Nature has made an almost perfect grid of the root system of this Banyan tree. It looks like a circuit board, a city sewer system, a subway map or maybe a road to nowhere, as David Byrne would say!! 😅😂🤣

Absolutely fantastic video, with a bit of a festive theme.

It actively demonstrates how our Labour government are implementing policies that link together to build up to something bigger and better that really helps people!

Great work @rosiewrightingmp.bsky.social thank you to you & all of Labour!

A federal judge has blocked an age-verification mandate for social media in Louisiana, ruling that the same content can be accessed on unregulated sites, that it chills a huge amount of speech and that tools already exist for parents to block use.

You know, the same arguments FSC made in Paxton.
Louisiana’s age-check law for social media is unconstitutional, federal judge rules • Louisiana Illuminator
The Secure Online Child Interaction and Age Limitation Act calls for all social media sites with more than 5 million users to make “reasonable efforts” to obtain proof of age to establish an account.

It's definitely been needed because, when I have explained to people some of the stuff that Starmer and Labour have done, I have been met with blank stares because they hadn't heard about it on the news.

Earlier today, the Employment Rights Bill got Royal Assent &became the Employment Rights Act 2025!

Here is the clip of it being announced in the Commons (alongside several other government & private members bills).

Cheering usually isn't allowed in the Commons, but listen to the cheers for this!

The decline in standards, of the British media, has accelerated since the election. Now there isn't even the pretense of being unbiased and it's less about reporting news and more about peddling rumours, gossip, and downright lies.

Starmer is smarter than many people realise. Now he can talk about the many good things, his govt has already done, without having to hope the media will actually pass on the information to the British people.

They're bypassing the Telegraph, Mail, Express, Sun, Spectator, et al. The televised briefing ensures there's always a public reference to what was actually said and what was written/spun from it.

Masterstroke by Starmer then.
In the commons,not a lot to hear it at the time and Johnson didn’t know where to look or say.
Gone soon after that.
He’s too clever.
