Radcliffe and Maconie on BBC 6 music is one of my favourite things
Having it interrupted by breathless news bulletin telling me ‘government has banned taxis for asylum seekers’ *really isn’t*
New lines like ‘Home Office spent £1k over weekend on taxis’ would struggle to make a local newspaper

Top tip: if you think you have the right to harass anyone using a set of toilets for any reason, you're a real piece of shit. This is wildly discriminatory against pretty much any group you can think of, not just trans people.

Needless to say (or is it?), there's no good end to arbitrarily deciding that certain groups of people should have fewer rights and be treated as a less than 'real' people.
Once again, the rights of any group are the rights of every group.

Very important to note that benefits weren’t stopped because of evidence of fraud, but because HMRC thought it saw something that *might have been* evidence of fraud. They didn’t check. They just stopped paying.

Mounting evidence that Morgan McSweeney may actually be the densest person in UK politics, fighting off some very stiff competition.
At what point does everyone around him have to accept that his fantasy version of politics isn't real?

The crucial bit of this tactical 'only Labour or Reform can win here' VI poll, though, is that Labour and Reform would be tied.
Not enough Lib Dem or Green voters are (right now) prepared to tactically vote for Labour to offset the number of Tories willing to tactically vote for Reform.

Just fuck off with this. How about start the conversation by highlighting how much immigrants contribute to the UK - not least by propping up the NHS and social care system!
Also - forced volunteering is not volunteering, it's unpaid labour.
