On 22 January, GB News presenter Josh Howie repeated a homophobic slur linking the LGBTQ+ community to paedophilia. This is offensive, wrong and unlawful. Join me and @GoodLawProject to file a complaint to Ofcom :point_down: action.goodlawproject.org/ofcom-stop-g...

Citizenship stripping is racist It damages the sense of belonging of British communities by making some people’s citizenship worth less than that of others. Add your name if you agree that the UK government should abolish citizenship stripping. secure.reprieve.org/page/162864/...

If you believe puberty blockers are being wrong prescribed to confused, gender questioning children then surely the solution is more therapeutic support and guidance for gender questioning children, not no puberty blockers for trans kids???

Word of warning, don't rely only on social media for your news, as their management can tweak what you are seeing. Hopefully with Bluesky it will be different, but please don't rely on that either. Go check real news websites, too.

Since 2016, there have been 3 elections, 6 PMs, and 4 different Brexit deals, none of which the Brexiters like. Yet the same Brexiters who said voting on those deals would break democracy, want another election, because they don't like the result of the one 4 months ago. These people are toddlers.

Large parts of adult social care in England face collapse, thinktank says. The budget blamed but there are other factors. Massive real cut in local govt funding since 2010. Privatisation: 30%-40% of money vanishes in profits. Money buys less. End Privatisation www.theguardian.com/society/2024...

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election. Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control

1. The difference so far (and for god's sake let's keep it that way) between X and Bluesky is not between right and left but between abuse and respect. A good society is built on mutual respect. But what does this mean? A short thread.🧵

Why inheritance tax charges are really good for real farmers – but not f... youtu.be/s9J0GpnXNhY?... An inheritance tax charge helps farming to reclaim farming for farmers and for the benefit of the people of this country. Labour is, for once, on their side and even doing the right thing.

No-one will stop Putin with phone calls. The attack last night, one of the biggest in this war, has proved that telephone diplomacy cannot replace real support from the whole West for Ukraine. The next weeks will be decisive, not only for the war itself, but also for our future.

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens. Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”

During the first Trump regime, I really thought it was impossible to satirize American politics. Now I'm certain we can. We've built up our satire infrastructure, the parody reserves are full, and we are going to mock the shit out of this thing. Start your engines. theonion.com/heres-why-i-...
