These people won't be happy until they've literally erased trans people from public life. Literally made it illegal to be trans. A thing that it has NEVER BEEN BEFORE. Trans people have lived happy lives in this country for centuries. These fascists want such people dead.

The Trump Gaza plan will not happen. The United States has neither the authority or the ability to enforce "peace" in Ukraine. Americans are panic-buying eggs and there's a toddler - several - in the Oval Office. I think the possibility of everything just collapsing in chaos is under-priced.

In the early 1930s, German communists, obeying Stalin, insisted Hitler didn't matter and was merely capitalism's dying gasp. The real enemy was "social fascism", i.e. Social Democrats, the moderate left. They kept saying this after most of their members were locked up in camps.

Some of birth places on memorial to the 90 men from British Battalion killed in the Ebro Battle. Hill 705 (Coto 705), Serra de Pàndols, which saw some of bitterest fighting in the terrible heat of that Catalan summer. The memorial ends with "They died fighting for freedom of Spain"

There was some recognition at the time that a successful Brexit project would have to mean conciliating the 48% who voted remain; as Lewis says, the 0% here makes it hard to imagine any cause failing more spectacularly

As part of my ongoing rant entitled "Britons would rather become a lossmaking slum landlord than invest their savings on the stock market", I've decided that the government needs to demand Homes Under The Hammer is taken off air for the good of the nation as part of the BBC licence fee negotiations.

Good 20mph stats - first full year: 10 fewer deaths 26% fewer crashes 28% lower casualties This represents a £58 Million saving to society in the first year alone - which more than pays for the £32m one-off cost of the signs! www.gov.wales/police-recor...

@samcoatessky.bsky.social was expressing his astonishment yesterday on Sky News that the PM had singled out one judicial review applicant to blame for the legal challenges bedevilling infrastructure projects. Let’s fix that 😈 Here’s a story that starts with a man shut in his cellar.
