We can be more blunt than this: it was 2016-19, when all the lads in politics and press decided literally anything was justifiable, in the name of restoring the status quo. And we have basically been in a state of exception from 2001, so this is just formally acknowledging reality.
Did 2025 mark the end of British parliamentary democracy as we know it? | Andy Beckett
The conventions and rituals that define the way we do politics rapidly eroded this year – setting the UK on a course into the unknown, says Guardian columnist Andy Beckett

My position on the debate on "From the River to the Sea" is that it should start with the party that is actually advancing this vision not only through chants but also through genocide and ethnic cleansing - the current Israeli government.

If it isn't glaringly obvious, Trump and everyone of his sycophants that deported people to SECOT need to go to prison. The same holds true for Bush, his stooges and their own torture. The more you let them get away with it, the more they do it, and you're next.
BTW, there is no "debate" about sending people off to a state known to torture. It's already illegal under US federal law. See Article 3, Section 1 of the Convention Against Torture, signed by President Reagan and ratified by the US Senate. Then, see Article VI, Clause 2 of the US Constitution.
The full Weiss memo is dogshit
-who cares if administration figures “regret” sending people to CECOT
-who cares about the criminal histories of the people we sent to CECOT, we sent them to a torture prison
—who cares about the “debate” over the legality of sending people to a torture prison

Hi. Court reporter here again. I can confirm about a third of local cases I see are domestic abuse of women and girls. Where do you think the men start? And almost every columnist tells you to look elsewhere.
This is the second story in three days The Times has carried arguing against misogyny lessons in schools, which it describes as "some weird feminist attack on male children".

This kind of legal action against universities will chill the free speech of all who advocate for the rights of minoritised peoples. This was the bill’s intent. Lobbyists are already using it to shut down speech they don’t like.
Unless universities stand up strongly for ALL freedom of expression…

Total gaslighting. Anti-trans activist; chooses to speak in person, provoking students who want to protect trans rights; they exercise their freedom of speech to tell her she isn't wanted; she gets to speak anyway; the BBC dutifully platforms her again; and now she threatens to sue everyone.

'Listen to me as I come to your neighbourhood and tell your trans siblings they are subhuman or I will use the wealth of billionaires to sue you into oblivion,' is a very late-capitalism form of free speech right.

We said for years: don't normalise having these "debates" about trans people and immigrants. Everyone thought they knew better. And now it's absolutely normal to say trans people are deviants and immigrants are subhuman, and we're having debates about whether women can vote.
None of this is “good faith political debate,” and it’s not a coincidence that all these outlets are suddenly interested in the same “discussion” at the same time.
Treating women’s humanity like a thought exercise makes it that much easier to legislate away
