part of the reason for the rise of reform is labour trying to appeal to their supporters by aping their arguments and policies. all labour votes reward this strategy, your labour vote says "yes, i love racism, more racism please"
don't give labour a single vote under any circumstances

He's the sports jersey pope now. 1000 years from now historians will be going through the Vatican archives trying to figure out who the Charlotte Hornets were.
Spike Lee just blessed Pope Leo with a custom Knicks jersey during his visit to the Vatican, just one week after the Pope was gifted a custom Chicago Bulls one.

Labour's strategy of telling its supporters to back Reform-style policies, or get a Reform Government, is the politics of the protection racket and it is not going to work

Emily Maitlis seems unable to apply the same standard to her (or the media's, more generally) coverage of "trans issues" 🤔
In fact, it's worse than that. Her starting point is simply that healthcare experts are wrong, for #reasons, and she and her fellow GC journos are brave for pointing it out.

The misinformation and lies about access to justice extends to criticising an access to information case about a wind farm whose planning permission was allowed expire by Coillte. Yet another article where lies are presented as facts and the people involved ignored

Peadar was vocally behind the "spoil the vote" campaign, but I guess it's mature to be writing "hang traitors" on the ballot and colouring in a handbag.
Incredible that it’s always the parties that you could count their youth vote on your fingers that have this position.

I'd love to "debate" why their MEPs voted with the far right to allow migrants drown in the Med, but no-one in Fine Gael ever seems to want to talk about that.
It would be one thing having a "debate" on immigration if people meant they wanted a "debate" based on facts. But what most people seem to mean when they say they want a debate is that is they want us to pretend a bunch of entirely made up bullshit is true.

I know you think this comparison is going to be far, but it's farther than you think...
I decided to convert dollars to centimeters. That allows us to visualize, for example, the distance between having no money and being at poverty level — about four city blocks.

Also, for fun, I shall ask this survivor a question and then tell them what their answer is. This is perfect and has no flaws. I am very good at my job.
Hahaha I also see other accounts from people with access to lawyers threatening literal murder. That's fine. But THIS survivor is gonna feel it. 👍

Our answer is no.
Conflating the topic of the discussion as support for the cause is a separate issue.
We’ve drawn this line since users have spoken repeatedly that they don’t want violent rhetoric here.
It’s just a near impossible task to do at scale consistently across languages/context.
