This letter from Tony Vaughan KC, the MP for Folkestone, is the clearest articulation I’ve seen on the flaws of the interim update from the EHRC. The section titled ‘Legal Incoherence’ hits the nail on the head.

Never forget.

Amazing. Yes, that’s definitely the message that has produced victories for centre-left parties over the last week

From widely condemned Sun column to Labour party policy in ten years?

I'm looking for a new car. Does anyone know one that fits the following criteria? -Must be a poorly-made death trap, yet also extremely expensive -Symbolizes both American Naziism *and* South African aparteid -Must be designed by the most sad, pathetic imbecile the Earth has ever seen Any leads?

One of the worst things Reform have ever done is make me root for the Lib Dems...

These all sound like 1950s euphemisms for homosexuals.

Told Labour canvasser the other day I was going to vote Green again and he said he understood you have to vote with your heart "but it's either us or Reform". Tried to ask if he had any positive reasons to vote Labour but he was already walking away.

If Kemi Badenoch is so outraged at calls to kill MPs, she'll surely be returning the £15m donation the Tories took from the man who wanted to shoot Diane Abbott any minute now

Gonna enjoy watching the Labour Right eat shit in the locals, not going to enjoy them learning the entirely wrong lesson from it

If (/when) Lib Dems and Greens take more seats than Reform from Labour and Tories at the local elections tomorrow I can't wait to hear how none of those voters count and they are all protest votes/antisemites/cranks...

If Starmer stopped chasing far right Farage’s inhuman policies and chased Ed Davey’s policies instead, this country would be a much kinder and fairer place to live.

Almost no MP actually gives a shit about Jo Cox because they've spent a decade invoking her name to shield themselves from criticism while they spout the rhetoric of her killer.

Remember: it’s beyond the pale to call for MPs to be killed

"That's what happens when you're always trying to win the Uxbridge by-election." I dunno, isn't it what happens when you're not instinctively inclusive and treat minorities as little more than an electoral calculation? It's not just failing to learn from results, it's failing to care...

The "Gender Critical" position, pushed by Maya Forstater and the EHRC, of "we can ban trans men because of how they look regardless of their history, we can ban trans women because of their history regardless of how they look" is so blatantly ridiculous when spelled out. Why isn't this the headline

jk rowling: just gonna post a photo that makes it clear i’m the good person in this situation the photo:

You know I said I was contacting Spoons to find out how they were going to deal with the toilet issue? Well... Get rekt transphobes. #TransRightsAreHumanRights

The BBC keep doing this. This isn't true. This is straightforwardly wrong in law. The ruling *only* applied to the Equality Act 2010. Trans women are still legally women for the vast majority of purposes! That's the whole point of the Gender Recognition Act. I've put in a complaint. So can you.

he’s right and he’s right to say it

Is this the transphobia dividend?

This statement about the transphobic Supreme Court ruling by the UK's Crab Museum (yes a museum about crabs) is better than 99% of the statements I've seen on the topic www.crabmuseum.org/visit 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀

Who could have possibly predicted that TERFS would immediately pivot from transmisogyny to overt racism? Oh, wait. It was trans women. Trans women said this is exactly what would happen.

@bphillipsonmp.bsky.social RESIGN

People - and it’s no one I follow to be fair - need to stop talking about the threat of a far right government. WE ALREADY HAVE A FAR RIGHT GOVERNMENT. Said government being branded Labour makes no difference to the minorities and/or people in poverty they are constantly throwing under the bus.

Journalists should ask Labour politicians what clarity is

This is another good and wholly correct thread from Dylan. Obvious I would say if you have spent more than ten minutes talking to voters in Brighton, who are more than capable of separating 'I want to send Caroline Lucas (and now Sian Berry) to Westminster' from 'I think my local council is crap'.

every day without Pronoun in Bio the lower the stock market will slide

quick question: why was noem carrying $3,000 in cash? was she just out selling drugs or something?

If I was forced to meet JD Vance against my will, I would probably just die too

Reminder that the Guardian/Observer stood by Nick Cohen for years and covered for him even though it was an open secret that he was a sexual predator and a serious risk to women at the paper(s). What they know about "dignity" and "women's safety" could fit on the head of a pin.

Trans people told you we were just the start of a wholesale attack on human rights. We are just the lowest-hanging fruit. They are coming for a much larger group next…

I am in favor of changing our laws to remove from the US any person convicted of 34 or more felonies.

2 things

Sure is a great week for people who watch The Handmaid's Tale and root for Aunt Lydia and Serena Joy.

walking around in a harry potter tee shirt is like walking around in a lost prophets tee shirt.

And yet they'll still happily quote various "experts" from pro-life funded "legit concerns" anti-LGBT think tanks ‘Immediate red flags’: questions raised over ‘expert’ much quoted in UK press www.theguardian.com/media/2025/a...
