Oh GB News. Have a day off and enjoy a mince pie.

How dare I talk positively about migration & refugee rights at this time of year that should be about *checks notes* good tidings and warm wishes.

Tune in at 3pm to watch and judge for yourself.

Merry Christmas everyone!

The Telegraph highlighting - yet missing - two vital points here.

1) We're not calling for £476m to be spent. It already is - this is about diverting it to actually helping.

2) Why "cruelty" in question? The £476m we're spending is part of an operation tear gassing babies.

I think The Express needs to find their Xmas spirit.

We're paying £476m for a regime that tear gasses babies & destroys shelters in freezing conditions.

We should divert that money to a functioning and fair migration system.

Tune in to @boldpolitics.bsky.social at 3pm tomorrow.

Which you already knew, and also her saying this on camera, along with her allowing them to share and circulate her shitty paper? (I don’t believe it only took her 30 minutes, actually. She’s trying to play it cool). She’s an absolute tool. In two senses.
Worth noting that the student admits that she just threw the thing together in 30 minutes without reading the paper she was supposed to be responding to.

Supporting LGBT+ rights is political in a way that breaches the civil service code and opposing them is not political in a way that precludes charitable status is a... complex position to hold, although one managed by former LGBA hate group with charitable status trustee Kathleen Stock.

Arrested for holding a sign. A SIGN.

A sign that opposes GENOCIDE.

No one was hurt by holding a sign. No damages were caused by holding a sign.

But Reform rioters are let off? Get a grip, Labour.

When peaceful protest is a crime, democracy is in deep trouble.

Happening under a Labour Government.

Okay real talk, the only sense in which GenAI is "here to stay" is that even after the bubble pops, AI is digital asbestos that is poisoning everything and we'll probably be picking the detritus out of everywhere it's ended up for years, assuming there's a will to remove it en masse that is.

Books are merely a technology to make human speech, communication, and storytelling permanent, to be enjoyed at a later time without the human that spoke it being present. Calling books obsolete is calling human communication obsolete. GenAI is profoundly antihuman. I hate the new machine worshipers

A year of reasons why Ofwat must say NO to 15 years of illegal sewage.

MAY: our brilliant supporter Lois kept up the pressure on Environment Minister Steve Reed, asking why he didn't want to bring water into public hands.

Watch all of the Lois vs Steve videos on Youtube.

I’m sorry, but it is disgraceful to be an academic who uses this technology to conduct research. It should be prohibited in all of our scholarly institutions, including universities and journals.

It's incredible to me how the mainstream press will be incredulous and skeptical when RFK Jr and other HHS officials push they're quackery around vaccines but suddenly become credulous when they go attack trans healthcare. Anti vax and anti trans beliefs are all the same quack pseudoscience.

All but one US President has been a white man.

65% of all elected offices are held by white men.

Roughly 30% of the population is white men.
