The men who claim they focus on Pakistani rapists because they “care” about women are the same men who revere Trump, defend Russell Brand and praise the Tates. The issue is men. Not one singular culture, religion or race weaponised for political clout. Men.

"Support for Reform is strongly correlated with poor social mobility, unlike any other party"(Source: www.ft.com/content/d1aa...) PS jicymi: a steep downward slope indicates a party's support tends to be strongest in constituencies where social mobility is low; a flat line would imply no link.

"Why do you 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 talk about Pakistani grooming gangs? There are 𝙩𝙚𝙣 times as many white grooming gang suspects?" @maitlis.bsky.social asks ex-Reform MP @rupertlowe.bsky.social why he won't denounce all perpetrators of grooming gangs equally.

Honestly….who cares? I stopped buying The Sunday Times a couple of years ago, because of its insistence on publishing boring drivel like this. Presumably this year’s list will be in this weekend’s paper, so another reason to not buy it on Sunday. www.bbc.com/news/article...

The summaries of Donald Trump's 100 days are worse to endure than the actual 100 days. Idiocy crystallised, and god the sanewashing.

Imagine just half the energy campaigning against trans rights had been put into - Fighting the underfunding of women’s refuges - Fighting for single mums - Fighting for low-paid women Compared to fighting trans rights, which would have had most impact on women’s lives?

trump is saying that american universities are disseminating communism, antisemitism, marxism and probably giving bad films 5* reviews on rotten tomatoes, and the conversation I just heard on Radio 4 was just debating whether he was right about all this or not??

There is no diversity in our universities, they're full of critical thinkers, Nobel prize winners & the gifted. Where are the idiots & untalented? We'll change universities & fill them with the dim, the narrow minded & cognitively challenged Universities will be beautiful & full of white male hope!

‘Petty, simplistic and vindictive.’ @mrjamesob.bsky.social thinks the world should stop trying to explain Donald Trump, and should instead look to his ‘narcissistic’ personality.

As a physicist I find it curious that budget gaps or funding shortfalls are now routinely referred to as “black holes”.

As a retired Psychiatrist I can add that emotional intelligence is the most underestimated and undervalued form of intelligence. Trump/Vance/Musk seem to completely lack emotional intelligence!

As Honest Bob Jenrick tours the country repeating far-right conspiracy talking points about “two-tier sentencing”, here is the letter his own government sent to the Sentencing Council last year approving the very Guidelines he now claims are evidence of “two-tier Keir”. The man is a fraud.

I would be grateful if serious people stopped calling Trump a ‚dealmaker‘. He has not the slightest idea how to do one. Never had.
