The fact is no presenter has ever had to leave the BBC for expressing conservative views, or even explicitly endorsing a right-wing party.

There already is cross-party consensus. We are to be silenced, ostracised, unemployed and dead.

Just for the record
We really should start to take global warming seriously otherwise we are toast...
Or do you think the physics of a water planet know mercy?

A principal short on why we will likely reach 2 °C of warming around 2030
Sadly, we are not able to accept the new reality and are still in denial.

In short, more successful autistic creatives than us, people whose income comes from their indie projects, have been paying it forward by investing on very generous terms, sponsoring our stuff & making it so *we* can pay staff. The money has stayed in the community.

Great thread on not just the immorality and hatefulness of institutions/artists bending the knee to fascism, but the mindboggling short-sightedness of it. We should stand up to fascism, but we should also remember who, when subservience was suddenly demanded, immediately said "yeah alright".
It may not feel like it now as marginalised people and their allies are edged out of institutions in the arts - but those institutions are unreliable, antiquated and at this point, bending the knee to fascism. It’s absolutely the best thing artistically and financially to be free of that.

Just so we're clear, one incident of alleged anti-semitism by a musician = a major national scandal that should be roundly condemned.
Multiple incidents of alleged anti-semitism from the man leading the race to run the country = a load of nothing that should be completely ignored

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

An important side issue: as someone with intermittent mobility issues, your options when flying are (a) wheelchair or (b) nothing.* If you can't risk having to dash for a departure gate, you need (a).
* Some airlines combine the two options by losing or breaking the wheelchair.

A constant blazing terror that somewhere, somebody might be getting a free cheese sandwich. Or indeed brief use of a wheelchair.

If you are addicted to heroin you can have your blood tested to help you manage the health risks. But if you are a child trying to access healthcare, in line with international norms, Wes Streeting's position is that you "must" be treated worse.
The Times yesterday, on how trans kids, denied the healthcare they need, are buying black market hormones.
Of course, this is *exactly* what everyone said would happen. And its risks are dramatically amplified by Streeting telling GPs they must stop offering blood tests.
