Lib Dems are chasers, shock of the century

What was it like?

Genuine question as I’m not super knowledgeable on this - aren’t there loads of other places they can build that just aren’t on national parks?

Also comparing criticism of the flags to TERFs delegitimising trans identity was um… pretty interesting x

I can’t wait. I feel like Bluesky is so dry about this stuff, there is no appreciation for camp on here 😭

Also lowkey a homophobic and transphobic policy 😭

Her hubris is the ugliest part of her diseased mind.

In normal times one would think Leavers would realise it's a vote-loser. But that's not the point: as with trans rights they're trying to change public opinion through constant propaganda. It took little over 7 years to go from the cusp of Gender Recognition Act liberalisation to de facto abolition

This is devastating but hard to think of more important journalism. 18,457 children have been killed in Gaza (many more not accounted for). Here, The Guardian prints their names and beautiful faces and tells us what they were like before Israel stole their lives. www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...

I know it’s not every members no1 priority but there are a lot of LGBT members who do feel very strongly, and it’s just… barely been mentioned.

And there’s loads of issues like that were there just hasn’t been a discussion of any kind. So odd.

It’s been a very odd deputy leadership election - barely any hustings or debate, very little substantive holding to account by journalists.

As a former Labour Party member I’m pretty gobsmacked that ie Phillipson has managed to conduct the whole campaign without being pressed on trans rights once!

That guy is awful bsky.app/profile/eliz...

I dont really fully understand what you’re saying here.

I certainly am appalled at the expectation that young people especially WC ones are expected to act as mere units of economic output and I think wider attack on uni attendance is part of that.

Obviously with short form post can’t say it all

This isn’t “conservative” it’s reactionary bollocks.

I continue to be appalled every day at the rampant anti intellectualism of our political culture.

As someone who read English at uni, and would hardly identify as “patriotic” our literary canon is one of the most cherished and special parts of our heritage.

Obviously all artists are engaging with capitalism blah blah

But the levels of greed and overconsumption that have become central to the “Swiftie” phenomenon is so gross to me.

Because of the unforgivably appalling decisions of the Charity Commission, these hate groups, Sex Matters and LGB Alliance, are funded from your taxes.

“The advantages of a first past the post system, of course, are that it prevents an overly fragmented parliament in which a stable governing majority cannot be found, and that it keeps the radical right down.”

To add to this one of the earlier jaw dropping moments of Guardian transphobic lies is when Hadley Freeman repeated the nonsense rumour that *Ian Huntley* was identifying as a woman and requesting to be moved to a female prison.

It was later retracted, but it was a real jump the shark moment

Jesus he is really frightening I just felt a chill down my spine watching this

They’re delightful

I’m more excited by this than HOTD! I love the books so much way more than Fire and Blood

The film is super close to the musical, most stage fans love the film.

This whole obsession with "too many people going to uni" is such a classic example of the parochialism of UK policymaking. No one bothers to ask why the % here is lower than in most other developed countries or whether that might be relevant.
