White male was my first abuser
Even by my low expectations for Kemi Badenoch ‘violence against women and girls is something done by immigrants and nobody else’ has shocked me.
Dog-whistle and factually incorrect. Ladies, raise your hand if you were sexually assaulted by a boy at school? I’d wager this or a family member is most women’s first experience of sexual violence

In November 2022, a Great Pyrenees livestock guardian dog named Casper defended a sheep farm in Decatur, Georgia, after a pack of coyotes attacked. He fought the animals alone for about 30 minutes, killing eight and driving the rest away.

True patriotism is supporting foreign leaders in their attempts to extort $billions from us 🇬🇧
Given the BBC is publicly funded, this is Donald Trump suing you & me.
It’s a pathetic cry-bully attack on journalism by a wannabe dictator & an attack on every British person.
And our far right politicians & pundits are cheering him on, of course. #r4today

Labour are attacking Greens. Fine. I have yet to see any party that has entirely affordable aspirations.
But at least the Greens HAVE aspirations.
Labour have seemingly decided the status quo cannot be touched, even when it doesn't work for 90% of people, or the viability of life on the planet.

The fascinating thing about the Starmer-Badenoch era is it really shows how much leadership cues matter even in an era of low partisanship and a fragmented public sphere. Starmer has transmitted learned helplessness to the centre-left, Badenoch has transmitted clown behaviour to the right.
The Kemoi Badenoch energy that radiates off these anti-Reeves articles shows just how much having a figure who isn't a fucking clown as Opposition Leader actually matters - a principle that R Beloved Fourth Estate really cared about from 2015-2024 but mysteriously gave up on for some reason
This is the point where the anti-Reeves stories tip into madness. Criticise her performance all you like but what the hell is this?

If you’re wondering why there’s a lull in the Epstein files discussion, it’s because the law that just passed gave Pamela Jo 30 days to release the files. So we’re all waiting to see how she tries to sabotage it. The discussion will pick back up in earnest on December 20th.

The way Palestine Action ban was approved by MPs has been raised in the High Court, with Dame Victoria Sharp noting 2 unrelated groups were on the same order
She says MPs may have been "reluctant" to vote against it but the home sec lawyer says the court should be "cautious" giving that any weight

Nigel Farage has spent £1m taking out adverts in the papers to distract from the Nathan Gill Russian bribe scandal.
We can't let him buy himself out of this. We need an investigation into Russian influence in our politics.
