It has come to my attention that many of you have been sharing this photo of Streeting and Mandelson widely.
Please remember that Wes Streeting does not like it being shared widely. So please do not share it widely and on every possible occasion. We wouldn’t want to upset him would we?

Before a man is allowed to join a dating app, he should be forced to use a fake female account and turn a handful of guys down. Just so he knows what bullshit women are facing on there.

Canadians' reaction to Trump's U.S. tariffs and annexation comments (newspaper cartoon). Even Quebec is united with the rest of Canada on this point. If you know Canadian politics, that's quite an achievement.

There was a period of a few years when I published more authors from Aotearoa New Zealand in the UK than anyone else. A few from Australia too.
Here's a list of recommended books from that time, plus some extras. I need to make an effort to add some new stuff, I reckon.

The "hazard" that Labour - and transphobes, globally - are concerned about is the risk that trans children grow up safe and healthy to become trans adults.
Once you understand that the goal is to prevent trans adults, the behavior becomes easy to understand.

As in Tennessee, this ban does not apply to cis children, because the drugs themselves are not a safety hazard. The only thing at risk is a society’s discomfort with allowing young people to make their own decisions about their own bodies.

Fox hunting is NOT a 'sport'—it's cruelty disguised as tradition. There's nothing 'honourable' about chasing a terrified animal to exhaustion and death.
