The UK government is proposing radical and punitive changes to settlement rules. This is settlement, not citizenship. The consultation is open until 12 February; please respond to it and oppose these evil proposals. Amnesty have a good guide: www.amnesty.org.uk/resources/gu...

UK leftists! Please please please fill out the UK govt survey on Earned Settlement *today* and rail as hard as you can against any changes to this system. We cannot let them spend billions on more surveillance and fascist bureaucracy of our communities ukhomeoffice.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Tim Allan - ex-Trustee of transphobic hate group ‘Sex Matters’ - has just resigned as Keir Starmer’s Director of Communications following ongoing scrutiny into Peter Mandelson’s dodgy dealings with child abuser, Jeffrey Epstein!

‘Gender critical’ transphobes are always in bed with the worst people!
Investigation demanded into Keir Starmer's comms chief's lobbying links
Tim Allan's minority ownership of a lobbying firm has led to accusations of a perception of a conflict of interest.

Hi everyone, I'm urgently looking for any work. I'm a writer and narrative designer, I offer game consultations and mock reviews, I localise between German and English, I can write copy. If it needs words, I'll do it! Here's some games I've written on in the past:
Wax Heads by Pattatue Games, coming 2026. I'm a writer on this game! The image shows a character, Tee, wearing a pink longsleeve and holding a vinyl she just pulled from its purple slipcase, about to putvit onto a record player. Tee has aqua hair with lime green bangs, she's wearing glasses and headphones around her neck. In the background, a man is looking through a vinyl rack. Oddsparks, released this year, nominated for the Deutsche Entwicklerpreis. I wrote on this game, too! The image shows your character, wearing a red cloak with yellow accents and holding a wooden staff. Under their arm, they're holding a wood spark, a tiny creature that looks like a tree stump with googly eyes. They're lookingvdown onto an assembly line from their vantage point on a cliff. Mars Vice, a queer visual novel. The image shows a woman of colour in an olive turtleneck holdingba to go coffee cup. She's quishrd between several anthropomorphic animals. She's looking grumpily up at her partner, a male lion. Mythwrecked! I'm it's lead writer. The image shows Alex, a woman if colour with a poofy bun of natural hair, shorts and a tankntop, in front of several other characters.

Pressure building on govt to come clean about Mandelson's role in bringing US spy-tech firm Palantir into the heart of our NHS.

The fingerprints of Mandelson and his lobbying firm are all over these deals.

The rot goes to the heart of this Labour govt
