'Placards depicted us hung from gallows with the slogan: ‘the only good TERF is a dead one’. Others exhorted us to ‘suck trans dick’. ‘Why not try a DIY lobotomy’, asked one, next to an image of someone stabbing themselves in the eye.'

"Staggeringly, an estimated 1.2 million illegal immigrants now live here. " Not that any of our intrepid media class will bother to say anything, but this is a flat-out lie from Farage. archive.ph/iPEN9

'Phillipson claimed Labour had “always supported the protection of single-sex spaces based on biological sex”. But she said in a June 2024 interview that trans women with a GRC should use female toilets. Why can’t politicians admit they got it wrong?' www.newstatesman.com/comment/2025...

'On March 20, he voted in favor of a bill allowing New Hampshire businesses to ban transgender women from female spaces, such as bathrooms, locker rooms, sports teams, and prisons.' So impressed with this young man. The way forward @democrats.org Back to reality & away from alternative facts.

The way Trump spoke to Zelensky and Vance badmouthed the UK, Denmark & Europe, Leavitt’s crassness about France, Hegseth’s vile europhobia, Musk’s disdain for our democracy, MTG’s unspeakable foulness to the British journalist… This US regime reeks of bigotry and diplomatic incontinence. Pure trash.

If Russia is allowed to overrun Ukraine, Ukraine will become another Gaza. Netanyahu has demonstrated that you can commit repeated atrocities and still receive the support of successive US presidents. I fear that Gaza will be the model for future occupations.

Bringing the #spycops scandal to @thismorning today,@alisonspycops explains the institutionalised sexism & misogyny underlying these deployments.

At least 25 #spycops deceived women they spied on into sexual relationships, 4 of them having kids. The true figure is likely much higher - the public inquiry has granted most of them anonymity, we only have full details on the ones we unmasked ourselves. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Bad title. Great article. The article itself explains how basic income pilots don't show decreases in work and often even show increases. Unconditional basic income is money to do anything. Welfare has the condition that you keep your income low enough to keep getting it. That's a key difference.

Trump said it would be the "Riviera of the Middle East" “His Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff summed up much of the tone around the proposal, saying of Trump "this guy knows real estate" But not history, diplomacy, international law, or humanity… A grotesque insanity. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

When will Govt learn you can’t out-Reform Reform - you end up simply legitimising their toxic narrative. To see off populists, Labour needs to invest in public services & local communities, making a real difference to people’s lives - levy a wealth tax & use it to improve people’s lives *now*

Maybe it’s because I grew up in a dictatorship but seeing people suck up to leadership, whether political or professional, makes my stomach turn. I wish I can shout at them: ‘STOP IT! It’s not only about you! Every little bit of bootlicking endangers all of us’. Am I wrong?

Really struck today by how many of the people most responsible for the Brexit shitshow were actively rewarded for their stupidity/dishonesty. Knighthoods, Damehoods, peerages, newspaper columns, seats in the House of Commons… It’s a mark of how deep the rot has gone into the fabric of our society.

Update. The Telegraph has now corrected its entirely fabricated claim that 1 in 12 Londoners is an "illegal migrant" and has accepted that this claim was false in *four" separate respects. However, this has not resolved my complaint to IPSO - I will continue to request a front-page correction.
