Do you think I’d explain my masterstroke if there remained the slightest chance of you affecting its outcome? I made the NYPD woke 35 minutes ago.

The background is green with the Daily Express logo in the upper left and a photo of Zack Polanski speaking into a microphone on the right, holding a cartoon-style bundle of cash with a pound sign.

Men in balaclavas set fire to a mosque in East Sussex last night. It's only appearing on the BBC's local coverage, rather than its main national headlines, despite coming just a week after the (also under-reported) firebombing of an asylum hotel in London last week

Shabana Mahmood back in 2014: "surely the current death toll in Gaza is the clearest sign of a disproportionate & indiscriminate response"

How can you say Israel killing 2,300 Palestinians in 2014 was disproportionate & indiscriminate, but what its been doing for the past 2 years isn't?

For no particular reason, here's the Best UK Politics Meme Ever
The final scene from Twin Peaks, Series 2, except instead of Evil Cooper it's Sir Keir Starmer, grinning & smashing his bleeding head against his image in the mirror, which instead of BOB is Tony Blair. There never was a Good Starmer and he's not in the Black Lodge, however.

Empathetic segregation is an absolutely batshit concept, this man should never have been let anywhere near the levers of power.
leftiestats.bsky.social Stats for Lefties 🍉🏳️‍⚧️ @leftiestats.bsky.social · Sep 24
Streeting confirmed that he will push trans women into "third spaces", saying that his plans for segregation are based on "respect" and "empathy".
WS: I think, I think for trans women, yes, I think that is where we're looking. And I know there will be lots of people, probably some Mumsnet users, and there'll be lots of people in the LGBT community and allies who would say that that's outrageous, I can't believe you're even saying that, and you're a gay health secretary, how could you countenance this? I'm trying to find a way through on this that maybe not everyone loves, but everyone can live with and treats people with dignity and respect. And I think where this conversation went so badly wrong was a lack of understanding of why, in a women's rights context, the majority of our population who fought for generations for those rights, voices and spaces feel strongly about protecting them. And I think the, you know, I understand obviously, you know, being a gay man the context of LGBT equality and the struggles that our community has been through. But I don't think there's been nearly enough dialogue, empathy and understanding for different perspectives. I think we're getting to a better place as a country now, and if we can do that in a way that's level headed, rational and considerate and compassionate, I think we'll be in a better place and will arrive at common sense.
