This is how. Greta Thunberg spits fire and gives you the only media training you may ever need.

Every single person out on the streets against fascism is a goddamned hero. It is a heroic act.

This looks very bad: it sets a precedent that governments can be forced into doing things they don’t want to do by the weight of public opinion. That’s not how democracy is supposed to work, here.

Lots we could say here about how the British political/media class basically drove each other insane at threats to their status and with their fury at being called wankers on Twitter dot com, but let’s pause to marvel at “Equality commissioner instructs minority to accept reduced rights”.

I'm actually super fucking mad that the Elon Musk era is gonna end because of narcissist infighting with a former reality TV show host, and not because even a single institution in American life made a serious effort to hold him responsible for a decade plus long crime spree

I think at some point we have to stop indulging the fiction that conservatism is a legitimate political tendency and isn't simply a grievance cult for those who value the ability to enact cruelty over their literal basic needs.

New blogpost: Dropping the Pilot - The govt has no coherent philosophy, but neither does anyone else in the PLP. The result is that Starmer will remain secure as PM even as his administration plumbs new depths of unpopularity. fromarsetoelbow.blogspot.com/2025/05/drop...

Gary Linkeker has been consistently bold, principled and spoken the truth clearly. The fact the BBC has now placed itself in direct opposition to these values demonstrates the spiral our media is in. We urgently need reform. Solidarity, once again, to Gary. ✊🏼

"We are exhausted." You're free to take the boot off our necks any time you want, nobody's forcing you to keep it there against your will, sorry if the squirming is a little uncomfortable underfoot but it's entirely in your power to stop any time you want; a luxury you do not afford your victims.

The problem is not arriving by dinghy. It's arriving by private jet. 👇🏽

This is the cost of not standing up to racists. We're falling into a rut where fascists like Farage make every problem about immigration when really it's about billionaires like Farage hoarding power. Go #left go #Green go @zackpolanski.bsky.social! Get off the fence here: join.greenparty.org.uk

The problems in our society are not caused by migrants or refugees. They are caused by an economic system rigged in favour of corporations and billionaires. If the government wanted to improve people’s lives, it would tax the rich and build an economy that works for us all.

Been a sad year BUT it was really good when Jeremy Corbyn won a massive majority in Islington North and then, minutes later, Ashworth lost his seat hahahhaa

"Conservatives have created this hostile environment.. we should welcome people wherever they come from.. the UK is better because of immigration.. Lab has been a bit scared of making the positive case for immigration.. we need to turn that round" The most duplicitous politician in my lifetime

"I think we are extraordinarily fortunate that the Green party are shit," MP of a party that just got absolutely demolished for being absolutely shit less than a year after a landslide majority victory.

I think the other problem here is, aside from the fact that these are just racists and homophobes hiding that fact poorly, is they're just fucking shit. Genuinely, no one in blue labour or associated with it has ever won anything on their own merit and they'll tank Starmer even quicker.

They're determined to totally smash the Labour Party into a wall because they're still seething that it was briefly out of their control and impeded the careers of their favourite Hitlerite politicians.

The UKSC ruling was an opportunity for the government and the EHRC to step up and commit to affirm the rights of all. They've failed on every measure, choosing to peddle hate and discrimination instead. We've heard enough: Kishwer Falkner and Bridget Phillipson must resign. 1/2
