What even is the point if Ofcom? www.thepinknews.com/2025/10/06/g...

Transphobes want to exclude trans people from all the spaces that they possibly can, including the beautiful bathing ponds on Hampstead Heath - here's a short consultation form that it's important for allies to fill in hampstead-heath-bathing-ponds.commonplace.is

Noticeable how police resources are stretched to deal with ‘actual terrorism’ when they are having to deal at the same time with ‘not actual terrorism at all but ridiculously designated as such by the government’

More than 60,000 people have signed a new petition within 24 hours calling for PPE-scandal peer Michelle Mone to be stripped of her peerage and removed from the House of Lords www.change.org/p/strip-mich...

Grateful that we have a political leader in the UK - @zackpolanski.bsky.social - who unapologetically articulates a positive vision of migration. This is a mainstream position - the Spanish Prime Minister says very similar things. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Synagogue attack in Manchester just so grim and horrific. Thinking of all Jewish friends and beyond who don't feel safe.

‼️ URGENTE ‼️

@juanbordera.bsky.social desde el mar: están a punto de ser interceptados por Israel.

🔴 Viajan sin protección, abandonados por los gobiernos que deberían garantizar su seguridad.

🚨Testimonio urgente de un crimen en marcha.

"And these children that you spit on, as they try to change the world"

I've backed @fairtaxunionjacks.com - supporting this campaign is a simple way to push back against the Billionaires funding fascism and refocussing our anger on the real problem: WEALTH INEQUALITY! #TaxTheSuperRich www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/fair-tax-u...

Can you imagine the uproar of (for instance) the Spanish government forcing UK retirees in Spain to do community service?

There's lots to decode looking back on The Hitman and Her that ran in the late 80s and early 90s, but one thing that I cannot get my head round is all the men wearing shirts and ties in a nightclub www.youtube.com/watch?v=53WJ...

"This isn't a choice between more North Sea drilling or imports — that ship has sailed. It’s between more imports or ramping up renewables. The transition must be better planned...but as long as the spectre of more drilling hovers, governments will continue to delay."

My letter in today's FT:

Wonderful news - Alaa is free! www.bbc.com/news/article...

Happy to bung in a few quid towards this www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/fair-tax-u...

Disappointed that this BBC news piece about Trump not wanting Mayor Sadiq Khan at the State Banquet doesn't once mention Khan's race or religion. If you leave out that Khan is a brown Muslim man, you gloss over why he's targeted by Trump. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It's weird that the Free Speech Union don't seem to be saying anything about the Jimmy Kimmel censorship today - it's almost as if the 'free speech crisis' only gets weaponised to reinforce one particular political position.

All political tribes can be hypocritical but the right's current level of hypocrisy on free speech is deliberate. It's an assertion of power not a blindspot.

It's incredible after years of the right manufacturing a free speech crisis over cultural audiences being a bit anti-racist, that the right are suddenly launching into censorship at scale www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Russia designated the 'LGBT Movement' as a terrorist organisation. They know there is no such group; that's the point. It means they can choose to arrest ANYONE with any association with LGBT issues and treat them as a terrorist.

The fact that 'antifa' is not a group should not be a comfort here.

Spanish learners! I cannot recommend this 'intermediate learners' podcast enough. Brilliant pace and clarity for an immersive listening experience, and dealing with all sorts of engaging subjects podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/i...

I was going to call this a 'systematic transfer of wealth' but its feels more like just basic looting, from our collective purse, to the pockets of the richest in society www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Progressive populist messaging is like a breath of fresh air in UK politics right now.
