Consistent with the old Tory trick of getting BAME MP’s to push the most extremist shit.

The Home Secretary says "we have become the destination of choice in Europe, clearly visible to every people smuggler and would-be illegal migrant across the world"

That is a factually untrue claim: the Home Office shows that the UK is fifth, getting 1/10 claims, while Germany gets 1/5 claims

The Politico briefing on the proposals is absolutely terrifying, eg "the Home Office would need to review the status of up to 1.4 million people between now and 2035."👇🏻

Govt minister Alex Norris is asked if the govt will take jewellery from people [fleeing war and persecution]. Norris says the govt won't be taking peoples wedding rings but they will seize assets.

Hey Labour

Remember the majority of voters who believe in treating people decently and not stealing from those who've endured months and years of hardship fleeing war and persecution to seek a place of safety?

We're still over here 👋

Unfortunately we are delaying the release of our next episode as we are doing some last final checks and edits on the latest podcast episode.

We are aiming to get this out as soon as we can.

Another chilling aspect... The Tories simply passed a law declaring Rwanda "safe".

Do we really trust that this govt or the next won't resort to similar tactics if this finds them politically convenient?

This is just how the Equality Act is structured re. all sorts of things (including, eg , provision for disabled people as well). You can obviously have criticisms of how that Act is structured but in terms of explaining how it currently works, I don't think the Minister's position is bad.

Seeing a lot of people I frankly thought better of misunderstanding this. It means case by case re. the service provider not the individuals using the service. This is how the Equality Act has worked for years - with providers having to justify exclusion as proportionate.

While remaining a neutral party to the case, Bridget Phillipson's lawyers have told the High Court they don't think the EHRC's proposed blanket bathroom ban is the right reading of the law

This is contemptible from Labour!

Immigrants make phenomenal contributions to life in the UK - working in pretty much every sector, bringing cultural diversity & creativity to our society.

This scapegoating must stop!
Labour must stop pandering to the far right!

Wes Streeting, one of whose aides was recently found guilty of exposing himself to a child, pictured with Epstein associate Peter Mandelson
It has come to my attention that many of you have been sharing this photo of Streeting and Mandelson widely.

Please remember that Wes Streeting does not like it being shared widely. So please do not share it widely and on every possible occasion. We wouldn’t want to upset him would we?

we have GOT to stop thinking about this in terms of hypocrisy because that's not what's going on! we NEED to understand why pedo apologia is so rampant in anti-trans pseudoscience, why abuse is so rampant in the home, why child marriage is still legal across the country etc.

when RWers say "grooming" they mean "threatening my patriarchal sexual authority, corrupting my property, damaging my goods." they don't actually mean anything to do with sexual abuse, which they see as perfectly permissible under the right circumstances.

when you understand that patriarchy views children as sexual property it all makes sense. there's no hypocrisy. exposure to queerness & transness threatens to "corrupt" the father's property, to "lead them astray" into self-determination, to taint their future sexual value. CSA is permissible as >
Thatcher's government did this with Section 28, banned the "promotion of homosexuality" as a danger to children, while actively protecting Jimmy Savile and who knows how many other pedophiles. It's the same damn playbook.
I cannot begin to properly articulate how upsetting it is to have had people baselessly accuse trans people of being groomers and pedophiles only for it to come out that they were deliberately doing this as part of a project to provide cover to actual groomers and pedophiles in positions of power

Even if you're completely on Bluesky's side on this, thinking that quoting a Johnny Cash lyric in an obvious joke about a Johnny Cash article should be treated like a serious death threat,

What the fuck do you mean, "Our mod team's turnaround time on responding to Death Threats is a month?"
CORRECTION: The post was made on Oct 10. Due to a backlog in cases, our mod team didn’t review and take action until Nov 11, which is when we engaged with the account owner about the reason for suspension.
