Anyone saying ‘DEI’ here in the UK is telling you very directly where their hate is imported from.

Blair is completely wrong about the best way to persue net-zero emissions, but that doesn't really matter because all the Establishment wants to talk about is whether or not we should bother trying
FACTCHECK: Almost all the headlines on Tony Blair / net-zero are *wildly* inaccurate

REALITY:

1️⃣Net-zero is *only way* to stop warming
2️⃣Blair calls for tech to "turbocharge our path to net-zero"
3️⃣He categorically *does not* say "net-zero is doomed to fail"

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

Building an inclusive, pluralistic community starts with (but doesn't end with) listening to the folks who haven't felt welcome in our spaces. People showing up for a game night or a protest shouldn't have to deal with Debate Me Bros rattling on about the singular they or arguing about sports.

From Lincolnshire to Leicestershire, Doncaster to Durham, we’ve uncovered Reform UK candidates posting hate, spreading racist lies, and praising extremists. Reform claim to have cleaned up, but the evidence says otherwise. ❌

These are issues arising from a decade of austerity, and simply blaming immigration simplifies our problems and offers no realistic answers. Reform UK are the party of billionaires and landlords, and they will always protect the elites over workers and communities.⬇️

🧵Reform UK is trying to convince voters ahead of the local elections that it is now “professional”. Farage has condemned union members who, he said, were “telling kids that Reform is a racist party”.

So we looked into some of Reform's candidates and here's what we found 👇

The Labour strategy is anchored around chasing Reform voters it won't get while ignoring Green and LibDem voters it could get
A very strange UK politics where it seems the two traditional parties are targeting the same ~20% of the population and nobody very much cares about the remaining 80%.

No matter how bad it gets, the anti-woke will always blame the woke for “causing” this with their “excessive wokeness”. They will never ever acknowledge that they stoked a moral panic with predictably horrible outcomes.
We have had nearly two decades of panic about Free Speech on Campus and not a single case, not even the ones they made up, were as bad as what's happening now
