"No mainstream reporter has the stomach to say, 'By the way, this administration lies all the time and we should assume this is a lie too' after every unsupported statement." They should, because it's true.

This really shows that all the talk about Corbyn’s “unique” pull on the left (which Tbf I assumed was right at the time) at the beginning of the whole Green vs new party discourse is just not true.

Polanksi now has a stronger base of hardcore support than Corbyn despite being less well known

So all the far right talking points then. Bingo! She was appointed by Kemi Badenoch who tweeted out she was put in post to spread transphobia so that is a fact on the record
Kishwer Falkner, the former EHRC chair, is on Sky saying the Labour government is anti-women, citing not just trans issues but also grooming gangs and what she calls pandering to Islam and racial sensitivities. She's not exactly dispelling the idea she was a political actor when she led the EHRC.

All antitrans campaigners are bigots. They swim in a sea of online bigotry in which trans people are routinely treated as less than human. They rejoice in having found a group to victimise that they have so easily stripped of all dignity. They laugh about it between themselves. Publicly. Online.

Really proud of this. The complete story of Che Guevara: from wannabe Jack Kerouac drifter, to freedom fighter, to executioner, to secretary of state, to doomed guerrilla. An immense, complicated, fascinating life.

The Voith-Schneider Propeller is a vertical-axis marine drive whose spinning blades change pitch continuously, letting a ship generate instant thrust in any direction, like a helicopter rotor underwater. Super-maneuverable, perfect for tugs and ferries.

Buttigieg on Indiana: "The big part of how Trumpism works is to make you feel totally disempowered. To make him feel inevitable. And yet the clear takeaway from this is he is not unstoppable and you are not without power."

I see the Lib Dems are giving peerages to the homophobe Sarah Teather and to Mike Dixon, the man who has been personally responsible for every time they've caved to the TERFs. Still, they'll be company for Ludford and Strasburger I suppose.
