The fact that they call it DEI when it is EDI in the UK shows you how brainwormed these rightwing fucks are.

A group of Labour MPs, peers and supporters write:

“We should legislate to root out DEI in hiring practices, sentencing decisions and wherever else we find it in our public bodies.”

Devastated to see how quickly this has arrived in the UK mainstream.

It’s still absolutely gobsmacking to me that there are people publicly committed to “rooting our diversity, equity, and inclusion”. It should instantly count someone out from representing and governing in a civil society

I want every one of these MPs named. They claim there are more of them than we currently know.

Seconded

Seems it's potentially just a handful (including a peer), though phrasing could imply there's more.

They claim there's more of them. I want those names.

It's worrying how vulnerable to US culture war overspill, UK politics has become.

Aggressively pickling their minds in US-derived slop. And they think that's clever politics. Need to get their noses out if the twitter trough and actually focus on the real UK.

Go join Reform if you love their bigoted ideas so much.

pgofton.bsky.social•15 days ago

All of this is just auditioning for when Reform gets in gov't and have to expand their usual talent base of business nazis into people with no morals who can do think tank politics behind the scenes for them

We don't bloody hire people, either. It's total Americanese.

It's what happens when the christian far-right junktanks over the pond are the same as the far right junktanks over here.

And from Carbon Capture, to the AI push, to the denigration of Trans folk, every single Labour policy since returning to power has the foul stench of these junktanks behind it.

Equality Act? Anyone? Hard-won rights being trampled on. Why?!

FFS Labour.

true, but it also points to the left's failure to get it's ideas into circulation. people reach for the ideas lying around, as they say.

Blue Labour aren't in any way left though. Never have been.

Why do Labour and the US Dems want to win over the right? They aren't going to vote for them anyway...
