Courts reveal Grass is Green and that transwomen are in fact transwomen.

Now, can we all just stop being d**ks to one another?

While I felt humbled at the difficult decision MPs took (and impressed by the lack of partinsanship) IMHO the right to die bill show now, itself, die.

Watering down safeguards is concern #1 and they're already attempting to do that before the bill is in place.

Democrats had power for 4yrs. See how swiftly Trump will wash away any changes they made.

The same can happen here.

The rules must change, the far-right don't play by them.

The left will sow it's own failure by not getting a handle on misinformation.

Bradford Council: we are skint, let's raise rates by 15%.

Also Bradford Council: Let's have a year long party!

Never sat well with me when I was a Labour member and candidate. Utterly woeful messaging - one or the other please.

They'll lose 2026 and be out for a generation.

Good. A local Bradford one was never needed for a national issue. Robbie Moore never pressed for a national inquiry until it was Labour in power. Opportunistic POS.

Labour MP Sarah Champion calls for grooming gangs inquiry www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Labour have called this one disastrously wrong.

The Conservatives, obviously, should have dealt with this in power and don't get a free pass.

Reform will win unless Labour get a grip.

Waspi's not receiving compensation is another unpopular but right move by Labour.

Do the right but difficult things.

Almost makes me wish I hadn't chucked in my Labour membership.

Bring essential national infrastructure back to national decisioning and stop NIMBYism.

Build the Calderdale Windfarm.

The state of our politics.

'I will not touch bread if it is moist': Kemi Badenoch sparks Westminster food fight www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Assad going isn't cause for celebration.

It's like replacing Blofeld with Dr Evil.

Repression will be replaced with repression or worse (the region suffered the absolute horrors of ISIS not too long ago).

Good luck Syrian civilians.

Keir Starmers new pledges won't turn the dial.

1) the disaffected left don't trust his pledges and never will.

2) the disaffected right simply don't feel "liked", they don't want competence, they want acceptance.

Only centrists will measure his government on them.

Genuine & bonkers:

In Bradford last night, some teen male randomly shouted "Reform UK!"

When the f**k did a public educated, Putin sycophantic, science ignoring party become a party of protest to be celebrated by the youth?

Yes, I'm nearing middle age.

Today's assisted dying vote was a tough one.

Not sure I'd have voted for it.

I simply don't think giving the government a mandate for death will end well.

The best of intentions may be challenged be edge causes significantly weakening it from its original intent.

The stitching up of council finances to benefit better off is and was always was a scandal .
Funding need is the right move..
As it was for decades before Careron and Clegg

As a former Labour party member (and candidate) it sends an absolute shudder down my spine when former colleagues attempt to bend the law to their religious whims.

Any type of blasphemy law should be vehemently opposed.
