Spray paint a plane and they'll detain you without trial and call you a terrorist.

Kidnap a foreign head of state - and Keir Starmer will make it clear we've played no part in it but will wait for the scheduled press conference in a few hours before potentially condemning it

There are many in this world who believe a trans woman going for a pee is a bigger danger than Donald Trump.

Wes Streeting doesn’t like his photo being shared, and he certainly doesn’t like it being shared alongside this other photo of Peter Mandelson.

Because our politics is in such a terrible place, I think we downplay quite how awful Kemi Badenoch has been.

In any other era the leader of the Conservatives saying 'only migrants commit sex crimes - mass deportations now' would have not just been career ending but would've sunk the whole party

Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it.

They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!

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

Something I'd like to address. There's this idea that TQ+ folk are all 21 year-old art students... and all the 'normal' old school folk are LGB and entirely left behind and confused by 'pronouns'...

Every talk I give, know who the most outspoken trans allies are? Queer folk in their 70s!!

I love that Zohran did not praise Cuomo in his speech. You absolutely do not have to say nice things about bad people. We should normalize that in “polite” politics: Praising bad people is not actually “civility.”

🚨 1/ SCOOP We all know Pamela Paul is not a good journalist. But in her (poorly argued) WSJ screed on the alleged "growing divide" in LGBTQ circles abt trans rights, she reports ESPECIALLY badly—including abt Jose Arango & his boyfriend who dumped him.

Paul didn't talk to the boyfriend.

I did.

When Labour in the future say you have to vote for them to stop Reform – remember there are countless reasons that argument is equal parts absurd and offensive.

But 26th August 2025 should stand out for their complete capitulation to the right.

Absolutely shameful.
No10 spokesman not prepared to criticise anything about Farage speech today.

Not his description of "invasion", not his prediction that the UK on brink of civil war, not plans to pay the Taliban or Iran to take back migrants, or indeed to rule out doing so themselves.

Madonna championed LGBTQ rights when few dared to.
She insisted a gay kiss remain in her concert documentary.
She shared HIV information with a ‘Facts about AIDS’ insert in ‘Like a Prayer’.
There’s a reason why gay men of a certain age (my age) will always have her back.
Happy birthday mother!

Turning people who happen to work in shops and gyms into the gender police and banning trans men from *any* public toilet? Fuck Labour to hell the fucking bunch of absolute bigoted CUNTS
Source: archive.ph/taXyE

Service providers will be told to ask for birth certificates and interrogate service users to discover their "biological sex".

The guidance also ban trans men from female toilets on the basis that their presence would cause "alarm or distress".
