Just another example of how the UK government would rather strip away rights, which will overwhelmingly be felt by their political opponents, and reduce public services which is felt by everyone, than have their wealthy mates feel so much as a tiny pinch on their pockets.

Apparently schools shouldn't be telling kids to be nice to LGBT people because that's indoctrination but god forbid the highest court in the land points out that shoving religion down people's throats amounts to actual indoctrination.

Far-right appeasement only ever benefits fascists.
The Overton window is now firmly in far-right territory under Starmer and Mahmood. No far-right election wins needed, no winning of arguments, just a weak and unprincipled Labour Party, PM and Home Secretary.

I think we're going to see a concerted effort by the DUP to constantly ramp up animosity as they further tie themselves to the far right over the coming months and this is going to seem like an irrelevance in comparison to some of it.

It will be the first time since the signing of the Good Friday Agreement that a serving first or deputy first minister has not attended.
