Well we said Black and Asian home secretaries are used as a shield to implement racist policies a white man couldn’t get away with and there’s no starker example than this. The worst kind of identity politics.
Shabana Mahmood asks MPs to stop mentioning Tommy Robinson's name (in relation to his support for her policies) as "he doesn't even think I am English. I find that offensive."

Hello! I moved with my wife & Arthur the Lhasa to a 1960s mid-terrace house in Ayrshire which hadn’t been updated in many decades.
We’ve made an Instagram to document our refurb journey @TheRenoWives (inspired by The Hunting Wives because we’re just that gay):

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

The Jimmy Kimmel firing, Colbert's show, what's happening at WaPo, CBS... legacy journalism is slowly but surely coming under state control.
It is more important now than ever before that we support the independent journalists out there doing the work not beholden to a fascist's bidding.

In many ways this Kimmel thing is the least of the shit going on in the US, but it’s a frightening marker of how bad things are. That a widely popular, wealthy, white man who is by no means “radical” can be punished like this for not toeing the party line demonstrates how far they’re willing to go.
this is quite genuinely insane, and I want to believe the backlash to this will be severe

Can anyone explain why the Government is still doing most of its communications through a website whose owner is now openly rallying the far right to trigger a violent insurrection on our streets?

There's so much handwringing about whether violence is acceptable that ignores the fact that violence is utterly normalized - normalized one way only. If violence was unacceptable, Palestine would be free, almost all guns would be outlawed, and Trump wouldn't be president. Violence is daily.

That is not to suggest all violence is equal. Violence comes in many forms, and should be judged on its necessity, the power dynamics at play, and the precision of it: not by the influence or wealth or fame or political reach of the person or persons it is committed against.

"Political violence" is a term that exists to suggest a moral distinction between "violence against politicians" and "violence by politicians" - so that one can be condemned while the other can be normalized. Obviously, no such distinction exists in reality: violence is violence.

Reminding me that ‘A League of Their Own’ got cancelled after one season is actually a hate crime
Everyone has a 1-2 season TV show they sorely miss and not enough people knew about that you are always praising the heavens about.

Honestly, I find every part of this pathetic.
It’s a recurring theme for Scottish politicians to act like things that are happening within Scotland aren’t interesting enough on their own terms without making them about events 3000 miles away in the USA.
Social media is making this worse.

We are increasingly alarmed at the way women’s rights and safety are being weaponised to demonise minorities across the UK. This kind of distortion of the facts only causes harm to individuals and communities and does nothing to end violence against women and girls.

The cast of The Guest was so good. It looked good. It even felt good. But… what was that plot?
I feel like a hardened criminal myself because when it got to the (extremely obvious) Big Reveal, I was like… “is that it?” Truly a case of the coverup being worse than the crime, and for what!? 🤯

This is the logical conclusion of the weirdness routinely spouted by self-described “gender criticals”.
That by virtue of having a vagina, everything we do is magical & sacred ✨
Nah, we’re just people who buy stuff in shops. Speaking to us won’t, in fact, make us implode into a pile of pixie dust.
