Listing any one of her accomplishments feels like it it does it justice, and listing all of them would take hours. What a legend, what a loss.

People are probably calling Labour racist because Labour keep being racist. If they want to stop being called racist they should stop doing racist things.

I'm updating my Big Spreadsheet Of Cool Free PC Games again!

I merged in all the incomplete entries, which I'm working on chipping away at and filling in the details of, which has bulked the list up to 324 items. But some of them are for entire series' or platforms, so probably ~400 games here.

Labour casually doing monstrous shit. Despicable, horrifying party. They're supposed to be the lesser evil, but they keep finding ways to be worse. They've not realised that they won't appease te far right, ever.

Labour policy is being celebrated by Tommy Robinson.

That's it.

That's all you ever need to say to explain who Labour are.

Appeasing the far-right gives the broader public the impression that their narrative is true. There is no way to stem support for Reform by endorsing their policies. Either you are fighting against them or you are, regardless of how you see yourself, fighting for them.

At this moment, every single person supporting Labour is fighting for a far-right government in the UK.

🚨BREAKING:
2015 email shows journalist Michael Wolff advising Jeffrey Epstein on how to handle Donald Trump.

“You can hang him in a way that generates a benefit for you… or save him, generating a debt.”

Epstein’s reply: “What do you think it should be?”

wise choice for the bbc to cave to bad faith hysteria from trump et al — as we know in the united states, once you do that, they're definitely satisfied forever and nothing ever happens to you again

🎯 Davey is spot on. "We can have criticism of the BBC, but within that, we need to recognise how valuable an institution it is [and how] precious to our country. And that's one of the reasons why people like President Trump and Nigel Farage, want to undermine the BBC." 👏🏽~AA

Donald Trump is not going to sue the BBC for $1 billion

The real story today is both Reform/Farage and the Conservatives/Badenoch talking today about radically changing the BBC

This is the real agenda

It is extremely hard and brave to be a woman who wants to take away other people’s rights, including women’s, and for that I am feminist
JUSTICE AMY CONEY BARRETT:

“Being a conservative woman in a law school, particularly, takes a lot of courage and independence, and in many ways shows more feminism than just falling into some predetermined vision of what a woman should be.”

I'd venture politely to suggest that if the EHRC had done its job and written a code that was about the law rather the pursuit of an anti-trans ideological agenda duty bearers would be better able to do what she urges upon them.
