What’s happened here is that, presented with the prospect of rolling back parts of the Thatcherite consensus, more or less the entire political/media class has hysterically lost its shit and wildly radicalised itself to the right. There was no public debate about this: it was simply imposed.

We're destined to hear this imbecilic refrain every day for the rest of our lives. Boys can't accept the concept of equality or they'll become fascists! The rise of the fash is the fault of poofy progressives! Where are the MALE role models for BOYS who must always be returned to their gender!!!!!

Extremely uncomfortable with this at the same time Labour are obsessed with “cutting the welfare bill” and demonising disabled people.

I am disgusted by the government’s relentless demonisation of disabled people. All so they can protect the wealthiest from paying their fair share. Instead of targeting the most vulnerable, let’s “crack down” on corporations and billionaires evading tax instead.

How is anyone supposed to believe that Labour is going to ban conversion therapy if the health secretary is sympathising with conversion therapy groups that advocate child abuse? Absolutely sick. This should be a career ending scandal

We know his government is just like Thatcher’s in that it is right wing and dangerous. Unfortunately he’s not in the EU, has no major public services left to sell off and North Sea oil revenue is nowhere near what it was in the 80s.

Last week I updated my mega-post "What's wrong with the Cass Review?" with new links to analysis and evidence. I have no illusions about the current political landscape. It will likely take years to undo Cass' act of sabotage. But I am in this fight for the long haul and hope you are too.

The violence against Palestinians in the West Bank is a reminder that genocide, ethnic cleansing and apartheid have not ended. We will never stop opposing the occupation of Palestine because we believe in a simple and moral truth: every human being deserves to live in freedom.

David Lynch gave us the language we needed to better articulate the indescribable strangeness of our shared reality. “Lynchian” is so overused because it’s a viscerally understandable word without any known synonyms. I can’t imagine a more beautiful artistic legacy than that.

What can you say? Without David Lynch, we're all poorer. The world is a little less. One of the greatest artists of our time, who left us so many gifts, not least of which was his boundless love of cinema, an art form he shaped for all time.

Israel has killed 80 Palestinians since announcing the ceasefire and now has the audacity to say Hamas are the ones creating a ‘last-minute crisis.’ This is the nature of barbaric oppression, played out in full colour for all to see. If you don’t understand this, you are inhuman.

It is not over in Gaza in fact I doubt this is even a real ceasefire. Now is the time to stop arming Israel, without the bombs that are 95% produced in the West they cannot wage war.

A ceasefire is the bare minimum. I want to see reparations for Palestinians. I want them to get their land back. I want to see them prosper. And I want the apartheid to end. They’ve woken up to mutilated children every day for 14 months. They deserve the world‼️‼️

Israel has destroyed the last remaining hospital in northern Gaza. We have witnessed the total decimation of Palestinian healthcare, met with silence from political leaders who refuse to acknowledge the horrors they have enabled. This is the dehumanising reality of genocide.

The scandal of the Cass Report is that the only harm was the speculation that an affirmed trans child might develop into a healthy trans adult. These medications are safe in all other patients because we know there are no physical ill effects. Being trans at all is what they see as harm.

I lived through Section 28, and impact it had on so many young people's lives. Labour's stance on trans children will be remembered with the same horror and disbelief we have for that piece of legislation now. This is a policy based on a minority opinion over fact, and will harm trans young people.

Labour's war on trans people should be held against the party forever, in the same way that Section 28 is still held against the Tories. This is not something that can or should ever be forgiven. Someday, a future Labour leader will offer a tearful apology for this. They should be told to fuck off.
