I wrote this in April 2024, about why people were refusing to leave X as it became undeniably a pro-white-supremacist site

But holy hell could I not have predicted that by 2026, it would be a child abuse material production site and THAT TOO is not enough to get people to leave the fucking place

X is something entirely new: it has the clout and influence of Twitter, blended with the hate of 4chan and the lies of TruthSocial. And it lingers because its users don’t see themselves as th…

Incredibly important new study from Cal Horton @fiercemum.bsky.social - the first to look at England's post-Cass child/adolescent gender clinics. Dr Horton found patients and families are being actively harmed, with one young person describing appointments as "the worst thing I’ve ever experienced”.
“The worst thing I’ve ever experienced” – comparing experiences of affirmative and non-affirmative healthcare provision for trans adolescents in the UK
Within trans youth healthcare two fundamentally different models of care persist, with a significant difference between affirmative and non-affirmative healthcare services. To date there has been l...

Yes we are way past the point when governments and politicians should have left X but I also don't especially want them on here. What's the third way?

These clowns have been making the case for A New Britishness - by which they almost always mean “Englishness” - for most of my adult life and it always, without fail, turns into a bunch of fat lads shouting “kill the Muslim paedos”. I am sorry your patriotism is inevitably that. But sadly, it is.

Free Speech Union is the UK equivalent of FIRE. It holds itself out as a free speech organization that leans libertarian but in reality almost exclusively supports racists, transphobes, and other bigots to ensure they can spread their bigotry under the auspice of "Free Speech."

We're in The Bunker meme phase of Starmer's premiership
Keir Starmer has this morning urged Cabinet to keep its nerve amid grim opinion polling (today’s YouGov put Labour in third place behind Reform & Tories)

“Governments do not lose because polls go down. They lose when they lose belief or nerve. We will do neither,” he said

Chilling warning from a Trump-aide.

”the U.S. will use its military “unapologetically” to secure U.S. interests".

“nobody is going to fight the United States militarily over the future of Greenland.”

Nothing can tell you more about the absolute disconnect between the political class and the rest of us than their insistence that Wes Streeting is the key to electoral success.
"SCOTTISH Labour MPS are privately calling for Wes Streeting to stand against Sir Keir Starmer before May to avoid a wipeout in the Holyrood election, The Telegraph can reveal.

"The Health Secretary’s allies are pushing for a “Wes coronation” to give Labour new energy in Scotland..."

Yet another huge contract, awarded without any competitive bidding process, to Wes Streeting's favourite NHS supplier, the Hard Right US surveillance tech specialists Palantir, for military decision making capability.
Palantir lands biggest ever UK defense deal
The £240 million contract with the Ministry of Defence has renewed a debate about Britain’s dependence on American technology.

Hard to believe, but we waste almost a quarter of a billion pounds of public money annually on this absolute shower of a regulator.

i agree with all of this, my concern is many centrist types don't view criticism from their left as legitimate

they get normal pushback on here, fall down crying, & go back to twitter to be yelled at by nazis (who are allowed to have opinions)
here's the last posting about posting thing I'll say: I want people to my right politically on here for the same reason that I want either the GOP to improve or some other sane Conservative Party to arise: these people will have power. I want them to not be insane. X is making them insane.

Susanna Reid asks Wes Streeting if the NHS is going to get extra staff to do all the extra online consultations that he's planning.

Also, notice how Streeting is unwilling to say 'the private sector' when it comes to healthcare. Instead its the independent sector #GMB
