Well obviously, male puberty gives a person an unfair advantage at political conferences.
Anyway, now that labour have gone full mask off, it's not about safety or equality they just don't believe trans women are women, can we stop all efforts of giving them the benefit of the doubt?

So I just learned about solar cycles, not necessarily that the sun has cycles but that we have been numbering them - we are currently in "Solar cycle 25" which started in 2019 and will end around 2030.
An interesting way to measure time, I'm almost 4 cycles old, and most only get 7

Season 17 of Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia is bad, probably their first truly bad season.
But episode 7 "the gang gets ready for prime time" is probably one of the funniest episodes they've done in ages.

So Labour did put being able to make unfair dismissal claims a day one right in their manifesto - and have since dropped that
And their manifesto *didn't* make any mention of getting rid of trial by juries, a pretty key part of our judicial system, and they are doing that.
Good job 👍

Sometimes I wonder if people know less about politics than they did 30 years ago (like knowing where to put a given policy on the political spectrum) or if it's just a matter of fact that people 30 years ago just had fewer avenues to communicate their ignorance

I recently learned that the Demon Slayer film, Infinity Castle, broke a handful of impressive records at the box office. I hadn't seen any of the preceding TV show though, and the name/setting/plot seemed generic at first glance so I dismissed it

1. Labour gets bogged down arguing this in courts/parliament etc
2. It has little to no impact on their approval rating with Tory/reform voters
3. It more significantly impacts their rating with centre/left voters
Net loss Labour
