Thank you for support from Monkey Cage listeners - I am asked many questions - this by @skepchick.org is the beginning of some answers - to be supportive of trans people & trans allies made me an extremist and too political - this explains some of that process

Elon Musk is first on the list, followed by his brother, mother, and father, who had 2 children with his stepdaughter.

Elon buys elections and immigrated to the US illegally with his pedo brother. Congress should start looking into denaturalization.

This Is How Trump Prepares America to Reject an Election

He’s already telling his supporters the system is rigged, floating unconstitutional ideas, and priming them for chaos if Republicans lose.

Multimillionaire Brexiter, Tim Martin, urges pubs to back Reform. Just like he urged the country to vote for Brexit. Too bad if it makes you poorer. Too bad for the children he’ll push back into poverty. Tim wants more money. And he couldn’t give a shit about the cost for everybody else.
(iPaper)

$Wetherspoon boss urges pubs to back Reform By Henry Saker-Clark The founder of Wetherspoon has urged other pubs to back Reform UK. Sir Tim Martin, chairman of JD Wetherspoon, said Reform's plans to slash beer duty would help the sector move towards "tax parity with supermarkets". Nigel Farage's party announced a series of proposals to support pubs last week. They included pledges to cut VAT in the hospitality sector by 10 per cent, cut beer duty by the same fraction. Reform also said it would reverse the recent rise in employers' national insurance contributions (NICs) for the sector and gradually remove business rates for all pubs. The party has said it would fund this package with around 23on, which it plans to secure through reinstating the two-child benefit cap, except for families with two British-born parents. In a lengthy stock exchange filing yesterday, Martin (inset) told industry leaders "there's no question that this initiative would utterly transform the competitiveness of pubs" He said: "By eliminating the tax differential between supermarkets and the hospitality industry, and restoring margins to devastated businesses, these changes would enable pubs to regain some, or all, of their lost trade. "You would think that this offer from Reform would have been greeted by a crescendo of enthusiasm, ecstasy and support from the licensed trade and its supporters. "However, surpris-ingly, initial support has been underwhelming, at least from the great and the good in the hospitality industry" Last month, Labour announced additional business rates support for pubs. The announcement was a U-turn following complaints from pubs about rates changes in November's Budget.$

Wes Streeting as prime minister would be devastating for trans rights

As Wes Streeting denies rumours he is trying to overthrow Keir Starmer as Labour leader, here's a reminder of his track record.

Tim Allan - ex-Trustee of transphobic hate group ‘Sex Matters’ - has just resigned as Keir Starmer’s Director of Communications following ongoing scrutiny into Peter Mandelson’s dodgy dealings with child abuser, Jeffrey Epstein!

‘Gender critical’ transphobes are always in bed with the worst people!

Investigation demanded into Keir Starmer's comms chief's lobbying links

Tim Allan's minority ownership of a lobbying firm has led to accusations of a perception of a conflict of interest.

Against a corrupt, exhausted, unlucky Government, which under-estimated the threat from Reform, trying for its fifth General Election in a row, Morgan McSweeney delivered 33.7% of the vote. And he then made Starmer the most unpopular PM ever. That's the measure of the man's 'genius'.
