Grabbing the wedding ring off a man’s finger or stealing a woman’s jewellery will not pay for immigration accommodation.
Are we really going to let the UK government, the Labour Party, enshrine theft into law? Is that who we are?
If you want refugees to pay for things, give them the right to work.

What, I wonder, does this asshole thinks happens to nonbinary folks when we turn 40? Does he think we diminish and go to the west?
Hell, I only came out to myself and the world at 50.

Should I start a thread of the transphobic garbage I receive?
I receive far fewer now that I've set it so only people who follow me can reply, but bigots continue to find creative ways to harass me.
CW: Quoted below is a particularly vicious death threat from an account that followed me last year.

Listening to Alana Beard on Good Game is not easing my worries about Project B.
She keeps talking about having a "tech approach" and mentioned being disruptive and... I hate all of that. Silicon Valley is a shitty model for anything.

Yeah, Keir, we know.

Starmer even had the dishonesty to quote Harold Wilson and pretend his craven and deeply immoral government of fascist appeasers is “moral”. He has never talked about any of his policies in moral terms since becoming PM.

Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock.
We all need to say this very clearly:
NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH!
Expropriate their asses instead.
They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet.
They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3
