Can we stop using the euphemism “women’s rights activist” for ardent transphobe?
Lib Dems announce 5 peers including ex-MP Sarah Teather, Tories announce 3 including Olympic swimmer/ women's rights activist Sharon Davies, historian Simon Heffer and former cabinet minister John Redwood. Reform UK don't get any.

It keeps getting worse for the HMP Chelmsford authorities.
Kebatu went back there four or five times and attempted to hand himself in, knowing he would be deported. The authorities sent him away, telling him he had been released.

If I see you posting AI slop, it's an instant block. Even if you think it's cute or says a lot about society. If you are purporting that some AI slop is real news, I will report you for misinformation, and then block you. Sloppers should be marginalised.

Just for perspective, a few weeks ago roughly 100,000 turned up for the London Trans+ Pride march. By contrast fewer than 3,000 ACROSS THE WHOLE COUNTRY, have turned up to anti-asylum "protests". Yet we are meant to take the latter as "the voice of the people" and the former as "the minority".

My advice to people, take I'm angry at people not being paid as badly as me.
And turn it into, I'm angry at being paid badly.
Median wage 2008 - £24,769
Median wage 2025 - £29,600
Inflation from 2008-2025 - 70.51%, your wage should be £42,231
We should all be angry.

Ex-farm worker here.
We need to talk about this whole "But a living wage for farm workers would spike the cost of food!" thing.
Not true AT ALL.
Y'all don't understand how fast experienced farm workers are.
The average tomato picker pulls 650lbs per hour.
At $20/hr, that's $0.03/lb for labor.
