I would encourage people in the UK to complain to the BBC about unquestioning platforming a person who uses transphobic slurs on trans healthcare.
If they do not get a satisfactory response, escalate the complaint to Ofcom.

I'm deeply concerned about the wellbeing of prisoners who were involved in Palestine Action protests, and are currently on hunger strike.
Some have not eaten for six weeks. A number have been hospitalised. They are all being held on remand - without trial or conviction.

Tim’s big simple idea here is “What if we just wreck the postwar settlement and then let people starve and die” and this time, when the disaster looms, just let them starve and die. Let’s face it, eventually one of these governments is going to pull the trigger once and for all.

Kathleen Stock has written an article against "abortion permissiveness". She claims abortion requires "justification" saying the state should limit "unacceptable decision-making" by women about their own bodies.
This is who anti-trans activists proclaim as the feminist thought leaders of our time.

Not seeing this being referred to as a white male grooming gang, which it is.
This article is utterly damning for the New York Times and also for Vanity Fair and ABC, whose editorial teams were apparently intimidated into silence by a mix of legal and violent threats. Virginia Giuffre did not stand a chance against all this.
This story by @davidfolkenflik.bsky.social about Landon Thomas, former NYT reporter now appearing in the latest email tranche, soliciting a $30k contribution from Jeffrey Epstein?

The very obvious thing about the UK's *last five prime ministers* is the more the public saw of them, the more they despised them.
