Blink and you'll miss it - another Labour manifesto promise broken.
Labour will ensure all peers meet the high standards the public expect of them and we will introduce a new participation requirement as well as strengthening the circumstances in which disgrace members can be removed.

We can all say confidently JK doesn't care about women or children. HP does seem popular with nonces though 👀

This post is also a note to remind people the difference with & without alt text.

We can all forget, there's a setting that can be clicked to not be able to post without alt ✅
Blank Image - Just white to illustrate what's seen when no alt text is present. Be a friend of Dorothy not of bigoty A black-and-white hand-drawn illustration, reminiscent of the wizard of oz. The wicked witch of the west on the right and a flying monkey on the left, rich in LGBTQ+ and political symbolism. On the right side, a witch resembling J.K. Rowling wears a tall pointed hat and black ornate dress, gazing into a large crystal ball & pointing. Her expression is calculating, smirking. On the left, a menacing flying monkey with Kier Starmer's eyes, he looms wearing a uniform emblazoned with patches representing anti-trans groups and institutions, including “EHRC,” “LGB (Alliance),” “GBN (GBNews),” "M" (the daily mail logo), “Bell”. & "Cass". At the centre of the composition, inside the crystal ball, is a calm and defiant trans woman portrayed as Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz. Her braided hair and accessories subtly echo the colours of the transgender pride flag. This Dorothy is a reference to the historic phrase “Friend of Dorothy,” a once-secret code used by LGBTQ+ people to identify one another. The image critiques Rowling’s anti-trans stance, casting her as a villain backing & pushing anti trans dangerous rhetoric, through her flying monkeys. While the trans Dorothy stands for LGBTQ+ resilience, legacy, and solidarity. She is asking for it again. #art #line #Rowling #Starmer #Dorothy

This policy puts Labour to the right of Reform.

The racist, far right party.

When people say that this Labour Party is far right?

They’ve got the policy and positions to back it up:

For the month of September, I'll be joining my kids Holly and Sam as a member of the core team of the Virgin Strive Challenge in which a 25 of us will be travelling from the base of the Matterhom to the summit of Mt Etna in Sicily, entirely under human power. The trip is broken into 5 legs and I would absolutely love it if you could join me for a leg or two. Here's the agenda to whet your appetite: • Hike (1-8 September): Stunning 5 day hike over mountain col's and alpine valleys. Staying in mountain refuges along the way. • Cycle 1 (8-14 September): Cycling at its very best as we cruise through all of Tuscany and then hit the Liguria coastline. • Cycle 2 (14-20 September): Cycle around Rome and then spend a night on the Amalfi coast at the end. • Cycle 3 (20-26 September): The stage for the more experienced cyclist with some serious climbs in the mix. • Triathlon (26-30 September): 3.5km swim to Sicily, 110km mountain bike along a stunning ridge line and a half marathon to the summit of Etna. A fitting finale to an amazing month. We are bringing a remarkable group of people together to challenge themselves and raise money for Big Change. Big Change is the charity Holly and Sam founded in 2012 to shake up the way we are educating the next generation to thrive in life, not just in exams. It's a wonderful charity with big ambitions and one I'm very proud to be supporting. There are 2 things I would love: I. That you join me for a leg or two. I can promise you will be blown away by the company and the energy and the route is simply stunning.

Robert Trivers working on a book?

From: Robert Trivers [redacted] To: Jeffrey Epstein <jeevacation@grnail.com> Subject: Date: Sun, 17 Mar 2019 17:42:21 +0000 great talking to you i certainly agree on the interest side—and therefore the commercial side—far better LGBTQ than Honour killing —the latter i will complete in my spare time on behalf of the victims but have already started work on LGBTQ-a friend told me yesterday that while male homosexuals are 3%, male -> female trans are 1/10th as frequent—of course there is overlap, exactly why all five letters should be handled in one piece there is also a literature on lesbian gulls and homosexual behaviour—male and female—in other animals, plus as i mentioned to you once, well-developed trans species in mammals—the art will be in weaving a bit of the non-human material without boring people who want to hear about us! all best

JK Rowling, like many other GC women in the vanguard of ‘protecting women and girls’, has been vociferously condemning Epstein for quite some time now…

Hang on. So a repeat offender is given normal access but trans women with no convictions or any history are blanket banned?

Or am I misunderstanding it?

Let's all remember she invited a child sex offender to the opening of Harry Potter & the after party dinner.

Can anyone explain to me why a invitation to Harry Potter is in the Epstein files?

I thought JK was supposed to care about women & children?

Not sending invites to sex offenders? It's almost like she doesn't really care about women.

The argument about trans people being a problem always comes back to some patriarchal nonsense.

This is another transphobe that thinks women are just a bit shit.

The Epstein files have shown a lot of white privileged cis men are both shitty people & collaborative in their shittiness.

Kiddo got stuck on a level in a game today. I got past the tricky bit & kiddo ooshed me away.

I asked "Is that all mum's good for, helping with games?"

Kiddo had a genuine cross face.

"No, mum is for helping with everything".

By-election latest:

A Green Party source tells me the response in Gorton today has been so positive that they're reallocating resources to Denton.

They claim ex-Labour voters say they can't vote for the party with Starmer as leader, so tactical voting doesn't come into it.

F'ck you Noam

"the hysteria that has developed about abuse of women". Hysteria of wanting accountability.

#Epstein #Metoo & anti trans rhetoric started

Almost like a diversion/division of a movement for safety that lefty Noam didn't care about.

Cool thoughts from Noam Chomsky
From: Matthew Hiltzik < To: J <jeevacation@gmail.com> Subject: Re: Thoughts from Chomsky Date: Sat, 23 Feb 2019 23:34:06 +0000 I think that is wise Sent from my iPhone On Feb 23, 2019, at 4:19 PM, J < jeevacation@gmail.com> wrote: Ive watched the horrible way you are being treated in the press and public. It's painful to say, but I think the best way to proceed is to ignore it. I've had plenty of experience, though of course not on this scale. A google search will bring up tons of hysterical accusations of all sorts, even groups devoted to vilifying me. I pay no attention, unless I'm approached for a comment on a specific matter. It's a nuisance, but it's the best way. The same conclusions from experiences of others, in some cases close friends. What the vultures dearly want is a public response, which then provides a public opening for an onslaught of venomous attacks, many from just publicity seekers or cranks of all sorts -- which are impossible to answer (how do you prove that you are not a neo-Nazi who wants to kill the Jews, or a rapist, or whatever charge comes along?). That's particularly true now with the hysteria that has developed about abuse of women, which has reached the point that even questioning a charge is a crime worse than murder. For virtually everyone who sees any of this, the reaction will be "where there's smoke there's fire, maybe raging fire" (whatever the facts, which few will even think of investigating). In general, it's best I think not to react unless directly questioned, particularly in the current mood -- which, I presume, will fade away, even if not in time to prevent much torture and distress.

Thanks to Streeting the NHS guidance on trans suicidal is to not talk about it.

This doesn't protect people from suicide.

Healthcare & Therapy does.

Until trans healthcare becomes available again under 20's can receive help at mermaids.
