WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

This is the state of play. This is how anti-trans hate can affect everyone. When the wife of a world leader is not immune to having to prove she's a woman to satisfy bigots, what hope do most trans and non-binary individuals have of being able to live our lives in peace www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Hard to think of a more on-the-nose encapsulation of how far the online speech wars have swung in the year of our lord 2025 than major U.S. corporations racing to fire people whose tweets offended Milo Yiannopoulos

I will not be able to comprehend what happened to this woman’s career. She drew a line where so few others seem willing to.

The most heartbreakingly powerful piece I’ve ever read on Substack. Please, please read and share. And look after your family, friends, neighbours and colleagues for whom England is becoming frightening. @sturdyalex.bsky.social 👇 open.substack.com/pub/bestforb...

Can't we agree to reserve 'defect' for the act of a sitting MP and refer to cases like Caulfield as 'changes direct debit'?

“I’m a nice person. I know racists are bad, that’s a given. I have however developed a lot of what other people might consider racist views. But I’m a nice person. So… that means my… racist views aren’t racist. THERE! TA-DAAAAA!”

Kash Patel: [sweating profusely] IS ANYONE NEARBY TRANS

the lies will continue until the “truth” improves

Muff is a small coastal village in County Donegal in the northwest of Ireland with a population of around 1250 people. It has a SCUBA diving club that has what is arguably the largest membership of any dive club in the world. www.muffdivingclub.ie

When you’re the paper of record and have definitely understood the franchise up until this point

I wrote my own Charlie Kirk obituary, and about valuing truth over manners: www.thenation.com/article/poli...

In a debate on the Palestine Action ban on Monday, the security minister said it was based on "clear advice and intelligence", and people protesting against the ban "may not know the extent of its activities" Today, we are publishing some of that advice www.nytimes.com/2025/09/12/w...

Google AI overviews nearly sent me driving to the wrong airport terminal (and nearly caused me to pay twice for parking). Honestly fuck everything about this.

Many aspects of the 'terrorism' ban on Palestine Action are ludicrous. Nevertheless, terrorism powers are sweeping and we feel obliged to point out that, no matter what a bizzie told a Liverpool councillor, putting up a poster in support of the group in your window carries a high risk of arrest

Turns out you can make far-right, controversialists into moderate, well-meaning centrists, but only in obituaries and tributes. It’s a bit of a brutal way to move the Overton window.

“He has been killed for saying things that used to be simple common sense. He has been killed because he had the courage to stand up publicly for reasonable opinions held by millions and millions of ordinary people both in the US and Britain.” - Boris Johnson

Charlie Kirk would have been proud

"I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights" - Charlie Kirk, 2023 www.mediamatters.org/charlie-kirk...

Britain 'out of whack' on free speech, warns Nick Clegg

Sounds dirty.

It’s only “untitled” because the title is too funny to tell people. Anyway… this is what we’ve been doing. It’s really stupid. Can’t wait.

If Labour opened an up market Sushi bar, I'm sure they would name it Cold Uncooked Fish.

every birthday message to epstein is like "dear jeff, you're so rich and so handsome but probably the thing about you i love most is that you're a prolific child predator. never change <3"

The BMJ’s former editor in chief, Fiona Godlee, was arrested this weekend alongside over a dozen other healthcare workers at a demonstration outside the Houses of Parliament in London while holding a sign reading, “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action” www.bmj.com/content/390/...

My latest newsletter is about how a credulous media and a trusting society emboldened Big Tech to do serious harm. And it’s about why these companies don’t deserve our trust or our forgiveness. whatwelost.substack.com/p/the-benefi...

The thing that makes it hard for me to feel too bad about Rayner is that New Labour and New-New Labour politics is largely based around doing exactly this sort of stuff to people on benefits who don't even have the time or money to get the right legal advice...

When I was out of work a few years ago, I got a bedroom tax penalty docked from my monthly UC because my kid’s room was classified as “an unoccupied spare bedroom” because technically her legal address is her dad’s house. The punitive micromanagement built into the system is astonishing.
