Dined with friends last evening and heard about the appalling behaviour displayed towards their daughter. She is 6 feet tall and a talented football player with short hair. At 20 years old she will not go into public toilets without her mother, or go underwear shopping because of the way other […]

[ukpol] Calling all Labour party members - could you please stop your government from continuing to parrot the right wing even while in charge? Get them to lead the narrative a bit? Perhaps try not blaming the poor and workshy for everything? Present, dare I say it, an alternative? The […]

The White House is hosting Conor McGregor today, who the Irish High Court ruled four months ago assaulted and raped a woman. Press Secretary Karoline Levitt says the Trump Administration "couldn't think of a better guest to have on St Patrick's Day." He will be meeting Trump later.

Here's an idea to reduce the amount of people being diagnosed with mental health conditions: remove most people's key worry (financial insecurity) by providing adequate benefits to all with sliding support for getting into work so that getting a job pays well. Support disabled people with cash.

Just published a quick Covid update in the UK. We've had by far the quietest Covid winter so far (confirmed by combination of hospital admissions data and wastewater data) but there are a couple of new variants that we need to keep an eye on. christinapagel.substack.com/p/current-co...

Britain’s MPs do seem to be a bunch of self interested compulsive liars. Maybe fix that the next time you get the chance, rather than shoving into power corporate lobbyists and shills (and that’s just the Labour candidates) If you want a liveable world for your kids and their kids you have to […]

Journalists: stop asking if whatever latest policy is a 'return to austerity', we never left austerity. There was a small blip when Tories gave their mates all of our money under the flag of covid, but other than that, where have budgets been restored to pre-2010 levels (adjusted appropriately)?

That "first that came for" poem says you should speak up for certain minorities because eventually you'll be a target too. But you know, you could also speak up simply because it's wrong to target people. Self interest isn't the only reason to oppose oppression.
