It’s a sign of how insane the news cycle is these days that this historic failure of government policy got just one day of news coverage this week.
Not saying that’s right or wrong, but it’s astonishing how quickly the agenda moves on these days.

It was and is a scandal like the leader of Reform in Wales being a traitor but our news media goes, oh well.
Actually, they obfuscate and tell us what is up is really down etc... and then we have all the misinformed noise and simplistic solutions championed.

Telegraph has an interview with Maurice Glasman in which he recalls an incident where he stated "I teach political philosophy". Well, on the only occasion on which I've met him, he showed a staggering ignorance of the basics of the subject.

I really wish 'gender critical' activists would grasp that we're not too scared to agree with them.
We think they're malicious idiots. if anything, we're scared to publicly *disagree* with them, because they harass, bully and dox women who don't buy into their cultist nonsense.

This little transphobic rant by Hadley Freeman in the Sunday Times really shows how pathetic gender critical ideology is. They play victimhood every day from the national media, while childishly insulting the existence of trans and non-binary individuals, calling any criticism of that 'silencing'.

I am currently, because I know how to enjoy a Saturday morning, writing some guidance for people on filling this consultation in. As I do several things are highly apparent. Before I go through them though I don't want this to put people off of filling it in. It is important to do so nonetheless. 1/
Government has today published its consultation into "earned settlement", the forward alone contains a hot mess of misrepresentation of the current system by the Home Secretary. I would strongly urge anyone affected by the current system to respond.

Anyone trying to shut down criticism of Labour by saying "Reform would be worse" is, at this point, merely helping Labour smooth Reform's path. Anyone who actually wants to stop Reform will recognise that the path to that goes through stopping this iteration of the Labour Party

Harman explaining that actually, horrible migrant crackdowns are left wing politics and if you - a white person - don’t like it, then you are actively harming people from ethnic minorities. An outrageous insult to the public’s intelligence IMO, offhandedly dropping a dog turd onto your dinner plate.

Of course she has. Transphobia is rooted in misogyny so this is the obvious next step. It's Christofascism.
Kathleen Stock has written an article against "abortion permissiveness". She claims abortion requires "justification" saying the state should limit "unacceptable decision-making" by women about their own bodies.
This is who anti-trans activists proclaim as the feminist thought leaders of our time.
