Not hard to see why Reform did not announce their plan to abolish Personal Independence Payment until *after* the by-election..

Jason Arday was hounded through the national press for weeks. There was nowhere for him to turn. IPSO has not opened a single standards investigation in over a decade. Add your name for an inquiry into press culture: hackedoff.org/campaign-actions/demand-an-inquiry-into-the-culture-of-the-press

“Reform has a woman problem. This is a party that would repeal the Equalities Act on day one.” Rachel Millward, Green Party Deputy Leader, arguing against the motion ‘This House Believes Reform is Fit to Govern’ at the Oxford Union.

There are 71 Lib Dem MPs in Westminster. There are 8 Reform MPs. When was the last time a Lib Dem press release led the BBC News headlines or was the main story on the BBC News website? (Rhetorical question)

There are priorities, and then there are *PRIORITIES*. This current regime is actively destroying our own country AND much of the rest of the world. We need to fix that first. We can't do anything for anyone else if we are this broken.

Society has deluded itself that we are more tolerant than, say, 50 years ago. The reality is that hate and bigotry just went underground until such times as they felt able to show themselves again.

A big part of these proposals is to make employers take out insurance to cover employee sickness costs, removing that obligation from state. I’m sure the fact Arron Banks runs an insurance company is just a coincidence.

There are different kinds of violence. Two years ago, it was thugs out on the streets trying to burn down hostels and mosques. This summer, it was character assassins in suits and summer frocks on social media and in editorial meetings

Let's face it: this wasn't even the biggest scandal *at Cambridge University*. Yet the much bigger story, exposed by Byline Times, has scarcely been picked up anywhere. Of course, that involved white, radical-rightwing professors, so nothing to see here. bsky.app/profile/geor...

The treatment of Jason Arday was massively out of proportion to his faults. People who have committed terrible crimes have received less scrutiny, yet I don't believe anything he did or said even crossed the threshold of criminality. How many of us would have survived what he was put through? 🧵

Look, put simply, people should not be comfortable saying that in public and the way to fix society runs directly through making them afraid to say it again.

The Telegraph's hounding of Jason Arday.

This is the end goal of every right wing "news" story, every smear campaign. Replace people of colour, replace women, replace LGBTQ+ people with fascists so that only cis, white, male bigots are in positions of power. They don't care about the "issues", they just want those people gone.

The Daily Mail's best paid columnist is Boris Johnson. A man more deserving of scrutiny across the last two decades than practically anyone else in public life.

Nearly every past atrocity was legal, nearly every liberatory movement to end it was not. Resistance is criminalized because oppressors write laws that protect their cruelty and make our objection to it illegal.

Not to be some wild-eyed innocent, but I think it should be slightly bigger news that The Lancet have crunched the numbers and found that Musk's USAID cuts will kill 14 million people. And that's just by 2030. That's 9,600 people a day, every day, until the next world cup rolls around.

Please sign and share if you feel able. We need to show rightwing newspapers that actions have consequences.

All I want is a seaside cottage, a crackling fire, the rumble of thunder in the distance, a vintage mystery novel, an emotional support owl, a whistling kettle on the stove, and a healthy supply of freshly-baked cinnamon rolls.

Just because the Golders Green attacker also stabbed a Muslim man doesn't mean his attacks on 2 Jewish men weren't antisemitic. Both the press leaving out the 1st stabbing *and* the press fixating on it have agendas. Please b careful what views u form based on reporting b4 all the facts are known.

And we've not forgotten this, from one of the worst publications.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "Antisemitism and Jewish safety is not some abstract concept for me. In fact, in the last 6 weeks alone 2 people have been arrested in relation to antisemitic actions towards me and yesterday the Times newspaper published a vile antisemitic cartoon.."

Guardian. "UN warns women in public life face increasingly sophisticated online violence UN Women report says AI, anonymity and lack of effective laws are increasing the risks of engaging in digital spaces" --- Absolutely. We need image/privacy rights asap, www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Basically that’s the plan !

The horror at what is being done to Palestinians comes from the same place as the horror at what is being done, yet again, to Jews. Does the government really want us to stop standing in solidarity with the victims of atrocities? If so, it will make the country less safe for everyone.

Keir Starmer's intention to restrict peaceful protest even further is punishment for crimes the great majority of protestors hate and reject. By suggesting that support for Palestinians is an attack on British Jews, he conflates British Jews with the state of Israel, which is wrong and dangerous.

All of us have a duty to fight antisemitism wherever we see it, and confront anyone expressing antisemitic sentiments. If people in any movement express such sentiments, they should immediately be expelled, as many have already been. No excuses, no hesitation.

Jews are not collectively responsible for Israeli government policy. People demonstrating peacefully for Palestine are not collectively responsible for the attacks on British Jews. Collective punishment for other people's crimes is not justice.

We must stand in solidarity with Jews being attacked by antisemitic criminals and terrorists: no ifs or buts. We must stand in solidarity with Palestinians being murdered by the Israeli government: no ifs or buts. These are not contradictory positions. They are consistent ones. 🧵1/5

Phew! No mention of the fact that it was a Reform supporter. That's the sort of journalism we need.

They are unhinged. The way they are treating Zack Polanski is atrocious.

I watched the video of the attack in Golders Green. I saw unacceptable violence from someone obviously sick. The officers tasered him at a distance, which would make his whole body clenched. Police kicked him, whilst tasered shouting to drop the knife when he would be unable to. Neither is ok.

This one's easy. Stabbing wrong. Being Jewish isn't the same as being the Israeli government. Don't stab people. Whatever creed or colour the stabber, his actions do not reflect the actions of others. No one else is responsible for this person's actions. No fingers should be pointed. Except at him.

Whilst I don't think the retweet was wise, I am concerned by the kicking. Vid: bit.ly/4t5h8EX However, the Met Com hasn't written a *public* letter of condemnation to the right wing (politician /party) critics in the week before an election, has he?

A point of nuance here: "masculine leadership to protect our most vulnerable" is how lynch mobs are described, not state-sanctioned executions.

Disgusting reporting by BBC using a tiny number of cases to suggest widespread abuse of a system which routinely denies LGBTQIA+ individuals asylum and forces them back into environments of persecution. This article massively distorts the reality of the situation. 1/ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

If we stop fighting for doctors to have awareness of each of our specific conditions, join forces and fight for doctors to start educating themselves and listening to patients, I feel like we might actually get somewhere. ⚡ #ChronicIllness #EDS #pwME

👏 A minimum wage should be a living wage! 🇪🇺 The EU directive for minimum wage was just upheld by the European Court of Justice. This means: • 20% increase in wages for 25 million workers • 10% drop in the rate of poverty for people who are working
