And transmen having to use women only toilet facilities. A warning to both sides: be careful what you wish for; & be kind to those around you.

If he had even a shred of credibility, he has none now. The world might as well plan around him.

Good morning, from the back page of Private Eye magazine!

PIP is not an "out of work benefit". A lot of what people use PIP for is to actually help them work. Making it harder to access will mean fewer people get genuine, rather than political soundbites, support. It is going to devastate lives. This is a cruel and pointless policy which only causes harm.

Stoats ? Vermin . Crows ? Vermin . Birds of prey ?! Still vermin ! The driven grouse shooting industry's obsession with vermin is just one reason why it should end . Please sign @wildjustice.bsky.social 's petition to ban driven grouse shooting now : buff.ly/3FbSxuQ

Class. Well played, Starmer.

Pretty much sums it up

If you were disgusted by the way Zelensky and Ukraine were treated today, and you can afford it, consider making a donation to a charity of your choice collecting on the behalf of Ukraine. If you can't afford it, just yell your feelings. Ukraine and its allies need to know they aren't alone.

It’s nice how they’ve replicated the middle school dynamic of the insecure bully and his sniveling sidekick picking on someone surrounded by a circle of scared little boys who also try to talk shit so the bully doesn’t come after them. Or as the right calls it, “masculinity.”

Other women. And thinking “no I don’t want to end up exhausted by doing everyone’s housework and caring and emotional labour, I’d quite like some basic social democratic welfare state provisions so the entirety of social reproduction doesn’t fall to me, unpaid”

I am in Trafalgar Square with thousands of brave people who love their freedom. That piece of shit in the White House is going to sell them out. #SlavaUkraini

"You should beware of believing things you see in books. I never regard books as the truth, and least of all the Bible, because there's no check on what they can write in them." Independent People, by Halldor Laxness

The UK didn't have elections during WW2 either. It should be obvious that holding fair and safe elections whilst your territory is actively under attack and a large portion of your population is displaced due to evacuation or mobilisation is incredibly hard and takes focus from the war effort.

‘Orwellian’ -a very clear statement from Dorian Lynskey @dorianlynskey.bsky.social in the Independent.

read this every time I see it, it never disappoints

yesterday?

This is why they're attacking science and education: if you can only win with disinformation, data become a threat.

This petition to stop Musk donating insane amounts of money to UK political parties just hit 70,000 signatures - up from 30k a day ago. Can we make it hit the 100k mark tomorrow and trigger a parliamentary debate?? bsky.app/profile/guys...

"As we commemorate 80 years since Britain and her allies defeated the Nazis and ended the Holocaust, we must never forget those atrocities. "We must remember so that we try harder to stop it happening again - as it has so tragically in Cambodia, Rwanda, and elsewhere." @eddavey.libdems.org.uk

We had a lot of people in Berlin today as well...

People have had enough of Elon Musk interfering with our country’s democracy when he clearly knows nothing about Britain. It’s time to summon the US ambassador to ask why an incoming US official is suggesting the UK government should be overthrown.

Do you get a discount if you bulk buy? Do you become a Reform member as soon as someone dupes you into touching a membership coupon? So many questions...

Repeatedly...

This is what your power plants look like when Russia is your neighbor.

Thinking of these 20 Just Stop Oil protestors spending Christmas in prison - here’s to a brighter future where profits and dividends are not considered more important than the fragility of our living planet #juststopoil

So awesome...

Googling Stuff: Then v Now.

🤞

BREAKING: the regime has prohibited the sales of protective gas masks, protective goggles, and helmets. Reportedly, they have also banned the imports into the country. Leaving protesters without the peaceful means to protect themselves. We need sanctions now! #GeorgiaProtests

Tbilisi today. I wonder, people babbling about “US-orchestrated coup in Ukraine in 2014” - will they say the same about this? Will they say the same every time a nation would stand up for freedom? #StandWithUkraine #Georgia

Truth bomb 💣

Always repost

I would like you, please, to sign this petition to ban driven grouse shooting. The first under a Labour government. 10k signatures gets a government response, 100k a debate in Westminster parliament. UK residents & UK citizens living abroad can sign. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Book pages should be numbered backwards so we’re always counting down how many pages we have left

I’m starting to understand what it must have been like when Caligula made his horse a senator.

Like a Russian oligarch

Hahahahaha!
