hey @maitlis.bsky.social, @jonsopel1.bsky.social, @lewisgoodall.com,

is it that all of the medical disinformation you mainstreamed on newsnight was a ploy by epstein and his mates to make trans girls more vulnerable to exploitation and trafficking?

The Times knows this is what Labour Together is about, because Times staff collaborated closely with Labour Together to do exactly the kind of smeary hate campaigns they’re now bleating about.

This week, I'm going to get way out of my comfort zone and promote the hell out of my podcast. I'm so proud of the work we are doing, and I want as many people as possible to know it exists.

So I'll begin here:

NETANYAHU: “Our stock market is up, investments are huge — the war showed the prowess of Israel.”

He wants 10 more years of military aid from 🇺🇸 as they build an independent arms industry.

Israeli strikes just killed 11 in Gaza. 570 since the “ceasefire”. 70,000+ total.

Blimey. Looks like Matt Goodwin, who seems to think the Handmaid's Tale is an instruction manual, is in the pay of an Orban think tank, funded by Russian oil money.
Orbán’s pay cheques: Reform candidate fuelled by profits from Russian oil
The Reform candidate at this month’s byelection claims he wants to put Britain first, but is he still on the payroll of Viktor Orbán’s far-right propaganda unit?

But those children, the tiny number who because they are trans will only be happy being allowed to transition and grow up to be trans adults, have to be subjected to gatekeeping around FUCKING HAIRCUTS AND PREFERRED NAMES, in order to protect some cis queer kids from haircuts and preferred names.

Hilary Cass here arguing for children to be prevented from being known by a preferred name or getting a haircut in case it encourages them to continue later in life to transition.

Hilary Cass acts like gender variant children should have the transness hazed out of them.

It’s going to be utterly Jokerfying if - after all that hilariously crooked, anti-democratic sneaking, backstabbing bullshit they got up to - they’re finally done in because one of them stupidly turned the shenanigans on one Times journalist, who was himself a co-conspirator.
If Labour Together had limited their intelligence gathering to anti-corruption campaigners and independent journalists the major media wouldn't have batted an eyelid. But they went after People Who Matter, when it's already open season on the Labour Together crew, and well, here we are.

I'm old enough to remember when Labour frontbenchers were sacked for likes on tweets—now they are allowed to investigate themselves over issues of misconduct in public office.

So the activities of Labour Together, a Labour right group founded by Morgan McSweeney & others now in senior positions in the govt, & which was at one time run by Josh Simons, are to be investigated by the cabinet office of the govt, where Josh Simons is a minister!

Andrew is fully aware that this was a weak and near-harmless version of the full fat national terror Labour Together and these specific Times journos secretly cooked up together, then screamed at the public over months and years. He knows, and he thinks it’s all a great laugh.
