This is why it infuriates me when the flagshaggers use terms like ‘ethnically English’. There’s no such fucking thing.

wow i didn't realise they had iphones back then!
In 1582, a papal bull introduced the Gregorian calendar, still used today by most of the world. Because it’s 11 days ahead of the Julian calendar, countries introducing it simply skipped a third of October, and if you scroll back far enough in the iPhone calendar app you can see it change

Look, for fuck’s sake, humans have been migrating continuously for our entire existence.
Every single human in the world is the product of migration.
It’s what humans do. There is nothing *more* human.
That’s never going to change.
Just grow up, get the fuck over it and plan accordingly.

To be clear: MTG is an absolute monster and deserves no support or forgiveness for what she has done
That being said, her sensing the tide changing and jumping ship to be a "Respectable Republican" who distances herself from the Trump regime is one of the biggest signs things are crumbling FAST

BASH: We have seen these attacks from the president at other people. It's not new. And I haven't heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you.
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think that's fair criticism. And I would like to say, humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics.

Labour's MP for Folkestone says the government has taken "the wrong turning" on its plans for asylum seekers.
"The rhetoric around these reforms encourages the same culture of divisiveness that sees racism and abuse growing in our communities."

And no one who still believes in all the things a Labour party is supposed to stand for should remain a member because you are now in a right wing, racist transphobic, anti-immigrant, party led by venal dullards only interested in power and serving capital
Hard to understand how the UK Labour party has even a single member left, seeing as it it has now become everything that you imagine someone once drawn to joining a Labour party is vehemently against. No one joins a Labour party hoping to punch down on the weakest and advance far right arguments

Every time I hear a politician say that an issue is “dividing” this country they always then come down on the side of the right wing view of it. Just once I’d love to hear someone say “this issue is divisive, which is why I’m making the argument that kindness and compassion is important”

There is a tragic irony that a man named after Keir Hardy is overseeing the death of the Labour Party.

Really looking forwards to seeing Reform gaining another 3-4 points in the polls on the back of yet more mainstream validation of their racism.

The Chancellor now has the worst satisfaction scores we’ve recorded for a Chancellor of the Exchequer.
Prev. lows include Kwasi Kwarteng (Oct 22: 12% satisfied, 65% dissatisfied).

I’m sure having Stephen Yaxley Lennon endorse your immigration policy is a great sign for a “leftwing” party.

It’s time to stop calling Labour a “centre left” party as they offer little sign of it in how they’re running the UK

Using Golden Ticket to describe people who have fled war and destitution to legally seek asylum. An internationally recognized legal right that the UK is treaty bound to recognize is pure cruelty and evil. It is the language of Nazis, of deportations, of camps and life unworthy of life. Evil.
