I’m trying to get to sleep (I work night shifts) but can’t because it too bloody humid.
How do the Spaniards do it?

Disagree with their assessment all you like, but it’s ridiculous to say a protest, especially a non-violent one, is anti-democratic. Democracy does not end at the ballot box, especially in a representative one.
How? Is your support for not going extinct really contingent on your personal feelings about a particular activist group?
The income per person in the UK’s richest local authority – Kensington and Chelsea (£52,500) – now stands at 4.5 times that of the poorest – Nottingham (£11,700).
A stat to make your blood boil.
”Thinking” is a pretty high bar for most Reform-ists, I doubt many of them engage in it.
Unite’s position on this is that oil and gas shouldn’t be phased out until there are suitable replacement jobs in the green sector.
I meant downpunxx.
I haven’t seen that myself, but I’m sure some of them exist and they’re dumb for thinking that. The person I’m replying to, though, is clearly taking the position that anti-Zionism = antisemitism.
What do you mean by “pro Jewish”? I doubt a comment like “Jewish people are human beings that deserve respect” would get you downvoted.
Would highly recommend reading the article in full, my splicing really doesn’t do it justice.
This should be put up in a museum
The bellend unfortunately has a point. Labour has declared a number of ultra-safe seats battlegrounds due to how much they’ve fucked up on Gaza. We’re probably stuck hearing from this raging bigot for some years to come.
No new patients under the age of 18 in England, Wales and Scotland will be given hormones to suppress puberty if they are experiencing gender dysphoria
Puberty blockers sure are funny old things, somehow they’re safe to prescribe to cis kids, but when prescribed to trans kids they suddenly become dangerous. I’m sure this is a purely evidence based policy. It must be. Wes Streeting has already endorsed it and, as people on here keep saying, Labour are the trans-friendly™ option. They wouldn’t just throw trans kids under the bus.
If our politicians are already bought and sold to the point that calling for these industries to be regulated is pointless, then why would politicians listen to our calls for ‘open weights by default’.
If we don’t have the power to stop generative AI, then what makes you think we have the power the change copyright law? Generative AI uses up huge amount of power and water to the point of causing issues for national infrastructure. There is a clear climate case to be made against generative AI and unlike copyright law the public actually care about climate change.
I was making my own post about this, but I’ll just post what I was going to write here instead of having two posts about the same thing.
Two Corbynist have been barred from standing by Labour party, with a third suspected to be also soon be barred.
Lloyd Russell-Moyle, MP for Brighton Kemptown, has had what he described as a ‘politically motivated’ complaint made about his behaviour eight years ago. He notes that the complaint being made so close to the election that there isn’t time for him to clear his name before then.
Meanwhile, Faiza Shaheen, candidate for Chingford and Woodford Green, announced on Newsnight that she had been deselected over a collection posts and likes she made on Twitter. She says one of the tweets brought up is one describing her experiences of Islamophobia within the Labour Party.
One that she apologised directly for is this tweet of a John Steward sketch captioned with “every time you say something even mildly critical of Israel, you’re immediately assailed by scores of hysterical people”.
Leaked Whatsapp messages have revealed that Poplar and Limehouse MP Apsana Begum has had a complaint made to the NEC about her by her CLP calling for a selection vote, supposedly from friends of her abusive ex-husband.
These announcements come on that back of Starmer allies being parachuted into seats, including director of think tank Labour Together Josh Simons, and NEC member and director of Labour First and We Believe in Israel Luke Akehurst.
The point is to ask whether or not it matters if there’s little enthusiasm for Labour and to make a historical comparison suggesting that it doesn’t.
Again, what conclusion are we suppose to draw from this? Because the one I draw to is that the political platform doesn’t matter, that the reason Miliband and Corbyn failed to unseat the Conservatives is not because of any policy or political failings, but because they weren’t against a sufficiently unpopular government.
What’s the point of this comparison? Starmer’s government isn’t going to be like Blair’s, Blair inherited a good economy. Is the point that we shouldn’t bother with policies because the only way to get elected is for the sitting government to become unpopular?
I like the implication at the start where he implies Reform voters are a bit thick.
How is it that every time we hear from the TERF in the high castle, she’s somehow even more unhinged?
