Grandstanding nonsense by this ridiculous transphobe. Bristol students told her to fuck off, and were always going to, because Bristol is Bristol. And that’s why she did this. No arrangements would ever have been satisfactory for her, and there was always going to be a flashpoint. What an arse.
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.

It’s great that all the sucking up to reform voters has managed to move their hatred of Labour from 94% to 93%.
It's important not to just look at the nat rep changes, because this masks the fact that the growth in negativity is pretty much always concentrated among Labour (and LD/Grn) voters.
Starmer's net favourability might have fallen 15pts among all Britons, but it's fallen 35pts among Labour voters!

I want all of us to focus on telling the story of this Labour government, of how we are rewiring the country so it works more in the interests of ordinary people with better pay, better jobs, better housing, better public services. If we don’t no-one else will.

In short - Section 230 as it stands is absolutely core to how the internet functions today, and removing it would generate absolute legal chaos and probably result in the end of all social media, all comment sections and lots of basic internet hosting services. The liability would be insane.

New rules on access to single-sex spaces could pose a significant risk to the mental health of trans and non-binary people, according to 15 of the UK’s most respected mental charities.
Organisations including Samaritans, Mind, Centre for Mental Health and the Royal College of Psychiatrists have written to the equalities minister, Bridget Phillipson, to express their “deep concern” about guidance from the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) that is awaiting approval from the government.

So 51.6% of 16% of (around) 50,000 - so about 4000 - members voted to have the party led by a committee 🤦♂️
That shows an active membership of about 8,000 for this supposed national movement, and they’re split in half on fundamentals.
The close match to the cursed Brexit ratio is a nice touch too.

Complete capitulation by @libdems.org.uk here. Complying in advance. Just another party unwilling to upset TERFs, and another reason why Greens won’t just “lend” LD candidates their vote tactically, as many LD supporters assume they will.

This is, of course, evil - but also massively stupid.
What will happen now is that the back benches will privately tell the front bench to get stuffed, the proposals will be watered down to near nothing and Labour will have burnt goodwill they don’t have on more fascist appeasement.

And here, in a nutshell, is why Labour’s position on immigration is suicidally stupid.
Those who hold more restrictive views on refugees are more likely to see Labour as pro-immigration, while those who hold more liberal views tend to see Labour as anti-immigration

Decades-old racism is returning to British politics, and “it makes people feel very scared” Keir Starmer has said, warning that divisive hard-right politics was “tearing our country apart”.
Speaking to GP and TV personality Amir Khan, the prime minister accused Nigel Farage’s Reform UK of overseeing a return of the racist and divisive politics “that frankly I thought we had dealt with decades ago”. Continue reading...

Personally I'd be pleased to see BBC News disappear entirely. To argue, as many do, that British politics or our news environment would be so much worse without the BBC you have to explain why British politics and news environment is so very bad with the BBC.
