The Daily Mail being racist and antisemitic? Almost as if their past outrage about antisemitism has been for a political agenda rather than genuine concern?! I’m shocked! 🤔

No idea who Laurent Brindeau is, but isn’t this caricature of @zackpolanski.bsky.social in today’s @dailymailpolitics.bsky.social ragingly antisemitic?

Stopped watching the finale of the War Between the Land and the Sea as soon as they uttered the words “the diplomatic talks were just war games! They’re melting the ice caps!” 🙄
Reading the Digital Spy synopsis I’m very glad I didn’t watch to the end.

On David Walliams: The Daily Mail reveals that “showbusiness reporters at The Sun were told to drop negative stories about Walliams because both that newspaper and HarperCollins are owned by Rupert Murdoch's NewsUK, even sharing offices near London Bridge.”

Qesser Zuhrah and Amy Gardiner-Gibson are on day 46 of their hunger strike. Heba Muraisi is on day 45. All are at a high risk of death.
In 1981 - the last time there was a hunger strike like this - Martin Hurson died after 46 days.

Really need more evidence of Sharron Davies, new Tory peer, campaigning for women’s rights rather than just against trans rights.
From her own blog which has 35 posts, 15 of them are about her campaign against trans women in sports and also against healthcare provision for young trans people…

NB: when he says "my view was divisive" he means "I got called out because my view is objectively wrong & wildly harmful to vulnerable people"
When he says "better evidence" he means "evidence that suits my prejudices". We already have good recent evidence from a major NHS review, which he ignores

Hounding the Women's Institute because its all-women membership decided to welcome transgender women serves none of the stated goals of "gender critical" activists. A movement that truly cared about women would respect the internal decision-making of one of the oldest women's organisations.
