Ffs, Cooper! Stop trying to be Reform! Their people will never vote for you. Meanwhile people like me are deserting you in droves for the Lib Dems and Greens. And can we stop talking about immigration all the fucking time!

I've written on why the Conversion Practices Bill is a dangerous Trojan Horse that smuggles in criminal levers to be weaponised against people - including parents - who don't believe in gender ideology 👇 comment.press/conversion-t...

it's still the only thing i want to know about @andyburnham.bsky.social, is anyone asking him?

Just a reminder.

Hugely significant and a judgment some people who don’t understand that women also have Article 2, 3 and 8 rights could do with reading.

Got misadvised on a train platform and ended up being sent back the way I came with a load of other pissed off passengers - 2 hrs added to journey - train mangers reaction was “it’s another company’s fault” & when I politely suggested an apology might be nice they looked blank #bringbackbritishrail

The law is enforceable. Toilet monitors have never been needed because most adults are mature enough to understand social norms and policies around the use of single-sex spaces, and are happy to abide by them.

A big thank you to Shaw-nae for warmly welcoming us, sharing her history and her home. As she often says, Staten Island truly is the borough of many memories.

These are not people serving sentences. They are people awaiting trial. And yet the conditions they describe – prolonged pre-trial detention, restrictions on communication, isolation – are indistinguishable from punishment. www.thenational.scot/news/2570995...

Adnan Hussain, independent MP for Blackburn, said: “Remand is not punishment. It is not meant to break bodies or silence dissent. “Yet we are witnessing conditions so severe that these young people feel driven to risk death simply to be heard.” www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Christ, the reported details of neglect & callousness are chilling. "You don't decide if you go to hospital, I do" MOJ, NHS, & Sodexo (who run the prison) all refused to comment. www.middleeasteye.net/news/can-you...

So much for free speech in the land of the unfree

Community notes don’t get much more brutal than this

New Yorkers kept telling me the same thing: they’re thinking of leaving because they can’t afford to raise their kids here. Universal childcare isn’t just a promise — it’s how we make this a city for everyone.

BREAKING: Protestors are outside the Ministry of Justice, silently holding signs which say they oppose genocide and the Palestine Action ban. There are also six prisoners for Palestine nearing their fourth week on hunger strike for demands which include bail and to lift the ban.

Michigan Avenue right now.

Charlotte Church sang From the River to the Sea at a fundraising event for Palestinians and now all the usual people are screaming antisemitism and trying to cancel her. RT if you stand with Charlotte Church and Palestine.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe spent part of the £4bn tax bill he dodged to fund Manchester United. That is how the UK works you pay tax, the big people don't and they get richer and richer and RICHER.
