Queer disabled socialist.
You know the sort of thing.

A society that cares for its disabled citizens *and* offers assisted dying is close to the enlightenment.

A society that does *not* care for its disabled citizens and offers assisted dying is fully fascist.

If you are unaware of how the UK has treated us, look it up.

Fascism loves complacency.

This is as bad as anything proposed by Reform.

Leaving refugees in permanent limbo and unable to build a new life in the UK would be a complete abdication of our humanitarian responsibilities

Americans are slipping into literal nonsense.

For years, their corruption of "I couldn't care less" (which means something) into "I could care less" (which means the opposite of their intent) has boiled my piss whenever I hear it, but I'm seeing something worse recently.

There is a concerted, sustained attack against disabled people by the media and government. Both here in the UK and elsewhere.

However, there is no recourse for their blatant misinformation and disinformation.

There are no consequences.

They can lie, then lie some more, and get away with it all.

Farewell then Tim Davie. Under his watch the BBC whitewashed genocide, had the BBC News website resembling a “migrant crime” X account, boosted trans hate and the right wing STILL hate him. Quite an achievement

Honestly, the BBC* can fuck right off. Its coverage of the left has been execrable, from caricaturing Corbyn as a Russian on what's supposed to be their "flagship news show", to their wall to wall disgusting coverage of trans issues.

I hope they take the Guardian with them.

The 3 hr coach journey has begun and loud, posh dumb girl has been put on "Display" mode.

Every cliche you can imagine.

She's louder than my headphones can get.

I can't block it out.

I need to sedate myself.

This is pure horror.

A reminder that the BBC have been progressively more and more trans-hostile over the last 8 years.

For ‘gender critical’ transphobes to claim the BBC has been ‘captured’ is 💯 gaslighting and just telling on themselves!

labour are hard right economically.

labour are far right socially.

labour have murdered multiple trans kids since they came to power.

labour think a dead child is better than a trans child.

i like @nadiawhittomemp.bsky.social as a person but she's completely deluded about the party she's in.

BBCNews has been a hot trash fire for decades.

Promoting hate. Perpetuating scams. Forcing referendums and election results.

And *this* shames them?

They've been lying useless bastards my whole life, but they lie about the far right and *that* causes a resignation?

No. We know exactly what your "life-changing policies" are. Trans eradication. Eugenicist starving of disabled people. Racist attitudes to immigrants and refugees. Cutting overseas aid to kill queer folk. Tax the poor but never the rich.

Jimmy Carr said unironically that he considers Glinner "brave."

That must mean that *he himself* has awful opinions for which his friends and family* would abandon him, but he is too cowardly to express them.

How's that Riyadh money feeling now, eh, Jimmy?

*should he, against all odds, have any.

"...a biological male who identifies as a woman."

That's how they describe her.

Because the BBC no longer calls anybody a "trans woman."

Oh no. That wouldn't be challenging the status quo, would it? Wassamatter? Too "challenging" for ya?

The Labour Right have admitted that #ItWasAScam and have crowed about how successful it was.

However, it was obvious, grubby and venal, and it will not work again.

So, in a sense, that horrific tenure served us all as an education on the foul intentions and cheap tactics of the UK press.
Labour were broken a long time ago.

Time to replace them with a party that actually represents everyone - not just the billionaires.

A party that rejects Reform - rather than copies them.

Time to make hope normal again.

Feels important to stress that Phillipson not conceding any knowledge of American politics has nothing to do with Zohran Mamdani's victory as a Democratic Socialist – Democrats of all stripes cleaned up across the board on Tuesday. It's because Labour don't want to piss off Trump, i.e. cowardice.

What’s happened here is that, by sticking to their guns and refusing to be intimidated and shitehoused, the club and police have thankfully prevented Parliament and the press inciting rioting and running battles in the streets of a major city.

I won’t lie, I am pleased to see all of these clowns very publicly demonstrating they are bullshit artists and shitehawks in ways where nobody needs to tell the public that they are being bullshat and insulted. Are there less potentially disastrous ways they could do this, however.

Shit-stirring hate from professional shitehouses, reported in a passive handbag-clenching middle-class tone, quoted below.

Does anybody actually believe this?

I personally don't see anybody purchasing a "zioness" t-shirt with anything but malice.
Stuff from crackpot activists that cropped up on my TL this morning is wild. Do you think the public will be horrified when you tell them that stewards were twitchy because you went to the home end as away fans, then made a big show of being away fans? Have you been to a football match before.

Im staggered that Liz Kendall wasn't made Education Secretary seeing as, what with her having once gone out with Greg Davies (who famously used to be a teacher), she is the closest thing to being qualified that Labour has.

#BBCNews has *always* been broken at a class level, and surrounding any and all marginalised identities.

If you're saying, "yeah, but David Attenborough, though" then you're part of the problem.

The damage the BBC has inflicted to the UK and the world is incalculable.
