Admidst their internal party politics, Labour have done nothing to redress how Cameron stuffed the BBC full of right-wing political bias. They have done nothing to effect proper #MediaReform. They have not instigated #Leveson2. Shocking dereliction of duty.

It’s time to give renters a break. That’s why I’ve tabled an EDM urging the government to include an emergency brake on private rents in the budget. This measure would save the average private renter in England at least £884 over 3 years. edm.parliament.uk/early-day-mo...

The UK economy has been stuck in a slow-moving crisis for 18 years. Wages have stagnated, prices have risen and basic services have been cut – giving rise to a widespread sense that everything is getting worse. If Burnham doesn’t respond, Reform will benefit. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Andy Burnham’s Labour Party is as rightwing as the MAGA Republicans in Texas when it comes to the treatment of trans kids.

They’re also people who can’t name another woman athlete besides Caitlin Clark

Last week I called on the UK Government to mark Black History Month by acknowledging the inhumane crimes that Britain inflicted on African people for centuries, the ongoing impact of those crimes on the Global South, and the need for slavery reparations.

I’m either being sarcastic, giving hugs or laughing.

Labour is stuck in the Thatcher era, why would they offer anything to young people?

The Labour checklist!

This shit is getting so boring. They do nothing but think about us

This is big news. Ending the puberty-blocker ban in New Zealand is massive. It puts Cass & the entirety of Labour’s flagship anti-trans policies in doubt. Yet no mainstream media platform has even mentioned it. Indeed most alternative media, like @bylinetimes.bsky.social have failed to mention it.

Peer reviewed research, listening to the experiences of the children and families affected gets 1000 worldwide views and zero media coverage. Anti-trans takes get platformed all over the UK media, complete with commentary from the powerful. The game is rigged against any justice for trans kids.

And this is why trans liberation and feminism are intrinsically linked. Women are not free until trans women are free.

2 giant wins in 24 hours for progressives everywhere. The far-right just received a thrashing in both Brazil and Serbia. Lula's dramatic victory brings hope, not just for Brazil but for environmentalists worldwide in the battle against climate change. @greenparty.org.uk @greenjennyjones.bsky.social

El-Sayed disavows the ad. Good. Wish he also said it was bad, but I’ll take it. Cenk can go to hell. www.jta.org/2026/10/26/p...

Hannah Barnes once published a paper in the British Medical Journal with some fake scandal about trans kids and then the next day published an "exclusive" in the BBC saying that the "BMJ found a big scandal". Her source was her own report but she never disclosed that she also wrote the BMJ paper.

This is important to know.

My guess is that it will shine through in her work.

This is why I hate the “it has to be subtle!!!” Critique of queer media. The fact that we can’t just say what we are or what the character is is so reductive and constraining to so many queer writers. Don’t let cis people dictate how you show you identity. They don’t know what they’re saying.

God, that Cenk Uygur ad for Abdul El-Sayed about how his opponent is for “they/them” (meaning Israel) (sorry I mean (((Israel))) ) is so gross in so many ways, both scarily antisemitic and transphobic, and I’m judging everyone involved

Obviously this is racist and gross, but it's also shockingly historically illiterate? No one who has taken a single high school world history course would deny that Arab culture has produced incredible science and literature. This is why we need basic humanities education.

That ad by Cenk is so vile that it is pretty goddamn suspicious that it's not being soundly and roundly denounced around here.

Yeah, this is really bad. It's good that El-Sayed distanced himself from it, but I am in awe at how Cenk's left-wing PAC managed to combine antisemitism with transphobia and pitch it as *supporting* the Democrat in this race.

Regular reminder that when you go to things while sick, you are giving those germs to people with autoimmune disorders, you’re passing them to someone’s newborn, to someone’s elderly parents. It’s “just a cold” to you but it can and does severely impact countless people.

Seriously, what the fuck is this?

It's really damning. The accusations are numerous and well-supported. But I was really struck by the descriptions of Trump's behavior -- the name dropping, strong-arming, and attempts to buy off silence. His gross rivalry with Epstein. It's all so familiar. It's shit he's been doing his entire life.

The Sun is less biased than the BBC at this point.

It's well-documented that the president maintained a years-long friendship with the world's most notorious child sex trafficker. It might strike you as odd there aren't direct allegations of Trump engaging in child sex trafficking.. except there are. There are SO MANY. They just never get reported!

Nationalists, Europe, 1926: "Jews cannot be good members of the polity if they have loyalty to the Jewish nation above the nation where they live." Nationalists, USA, 2026: "Jews cannot be good members of the polity if they do *not* have loyalty to the Jewish nation, first and foremost."

Nothing and no one should stand between New Yorkers and their right to vote — least of all the government.
 Early voting is happening now through November 1. Election Day is November 3. See you at the polls!

There is a lot going on here.

the contrast between seeing US democrats fall over themselves to embrace idiot transphobia all year and tonight seeing footage of the president embracing my (trans) congresswoman, Erika Hilton, at the election night party

This went on for the rest of the full hour, at which point the BBC apologised for having to go to the weather and urged viewers to follow continuing live coverage on iPlayer. Forty-one minutes of unfiltered, unchallenged propaganda by a far right party with 8 MPs, now third in the polls. Discuss.

Too many American Jewish organizations will not call out the blatant antisemitism of a non-Jewish president saying that Jews are being "disloyal" if they vote for Abdul El-Sayed. I am so grateful we have this organization that will.

This is not a "you didn't KNOW?" post because I truly envy and respect anyone unaware of Linehan's output BUT he's been EXTREMELY racist for years now. Attacking black actors on his wife's show Motherland as diversity hires; podcast screeds about muslims in Ireland; delighting in Palestinian deaths.

People power. 🇧🇷🇷🇸 Real hope. Real change.

Here is the Israeli Minister of Diaspora Affairs, spreading the antisemitic conspiracy theory that the Soros family are the puppet masters behind the election in Brazil yesterday. The Israeli Minister of Diaspora Affairs seems to see it as his job to make the Diaspora less safe.

My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

Broadening recognition of a shared global struggle for human rights and dignity is indeed fatal for Yglesias's worldview

New photo of Vivek Ramaswamy's 8th grade teacher protesting Vivek over his latest ad: "SHAME ON YOU, VIVEK! I TAUGHT YOU BETTER!"

Walter Koenig, was, of course, Chekov. But if you want to honor his memory by watching some of his best(sorry) work, please check out his appearance as the evil Psi-Cop "Bester" in Babylon 5. He's a fantastic presence and a great foil to all of "our heroes." Fair skies, Mr. Koenig.
