It’s official. I will be introducing a Bill for an independent public inquiry into the UK’s involvement in Israel’s assault on Gaza.
The government must decide: will it support this inquiry, or will it block our efforts to establish the truth?

I’ve always thought that Jimmy Carr was a full on cunt, and I’m just pleased that other people are realising this too.

Under Labour’s welfare cuts, 1.3 million people with cancer, arthritis and other diseases could lose PIP.
They could have just made the very wealthiest pay their fair share.
What an absolute disgrace that they are choosing to make life harder for disabled people instead.

Trans women legally obliged to use men's toilets, trans men legally obliged to use women's toilets.
Trans people are not going to do this. Every visit to the toilet would be humiliating, at worse dangerous.
In practise, it means trans people not using public toilets.

Remind me what it's called when political canvassers are followed around ahead of an election by tooled up big lads doorstepping people who disagree with them.
Just been visited by police after Diana Johnson, the policing minister, passed by canvassing.

The 4yo is really into Mary Poppins at the moment, and it is honestly a pretty perfect film isn’t it? Every character is wonderful and the songs are sensational. Plus it hates capitalism, it’s pro magic, and it heals an awful lot in my soul. Oh, maybe I’m an ok mum? Ok 😭😭😭

Sorry but I just don't feel comfortable sharing public toilets with transphobes. At any moment they could just demand to have a look at my gennies. The law should protect women's spaces from these creeps.

I’m so behind on Neighbours, but the whole Max storyline has sent me:
1. Max drugging gang members and dumping them in the outback is the spin off series I need. Love him, leave him alone
2. The gang members decided to drug Sadie as revenge? The cop’s daughter? Absolute fucking amateurs

Wait, did a hippo write this?
Additionally, hippos - despite being massive - have almost no fat on them. All of that impressive bulk is muscle.
2% body fat. Compare that to Elephants, which are around 8-10%, or rhinos, which are 10-20%.
The average human is around 20-40%, for reference.
They're *all* muscle.

ASL interpreters who work in the arts (concerts, opera, theatre, etc) deserve to be valued as artists too. it takes so much skill to be this good at capturing the FEEL of music beyond just translating the meaning of the text and it’s an invaluable accessibility service
