I care less about Signal chats and more about the blacksite offshore concentration camps we're sending random people to without any semblance of a trial, so I'll be interested to see if the national media can rub their bellies and pat their heads at the same time this week. Historically they can't.

“They keep throwing insults at us, but none of them stick because they’re nonsense. First they said we’re transphobes, then they called us homophobes, then it was bigots, now they say we’re pro-Trump. It’s all completely ridiculous,” says Calder.

The supreme court has carefully ringfenced protections for women. That’s all we wanted | Sonia Sodha
Last week’s ruling clarified the legal safeguards of the Equality Act. However, it was a travesty that the battle needed to be fought at all

The cruelty is the point. The banal, vicious, performative cruelty. Turns out ‘anti-woke’ just meant anti-decency, anti-humanity & anti-rule of law.

Nigel Farage has told ITV News the first thing he would do as prime minister if he won a general election would be to remove the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights
That alone is good reason never to vote for Reform UK.

Unfortunately I strongly suspect he'll be shielded from them like last time
If Trump is to come to UK, huge demonstrations have to leave him in no doubt he is despised & hated here. Hopefully, his ego won't be able to cope, wrecking any US-UK trade deal.

A reminder of a pretty etymology to brighten the day. The ‘daisy’ takes its name from the Old English ‘dæges ēage’, ‘day’s eye’, because it opens its petals at dawn, and closes them again at dusk.
