I dunno, but with each day that passes the NRA loses more and more ground in their “you have to watch your kids die in mass shootings at school so we can protect you if the government goes rogue” argument 🤷‍♂️

You’re right—swallowing the bird was a half-measure. The bird did eat the spider, as planned, but now you have a bird in you. It reminds you of swallowing the spider to catch the fly. You’re seeing the pattern.

Would you like me to suggest some animals which could eat the bird?

So, to clarify, spray-painting a plane is terrorism, holding a sign to support the organisation those that spray-painted the plane were members of is terrorism, but taking a foreign head of state hostage needs to wait for a press conference from the hostage taker for nuance?
Keir Starmer says he wants to establish facts by *watching Donald Trumps press conference.*

People said giving him a second state visit was a genius move of strategy - really seems to have paid off.

Special relationship - alive and kicking.

“Establishing facts”. Is Starmer going full Traitors and waiting for the world to respond so he can go with the mob?

Hey guys, just found this in the kitchen. No-one knows what it’s called so I’ve named it a ‘non-chocolate orange’. It tastes pretty good and I don’t feel sick if I eat a whole one. Check your kitchen, you might have one too.

It was the 3rd of January he randomly bombed Iran too, I remember because it was my birthday weekend, and then obviously tried a coup on the 6th the next year, think this might just be his natural reaction to the end of the Christmas season & running out of Quality Streets

"This must be the year Britain finally kills off trans ideology"

Was the headline of a recent Telegraph Op-Ed.

In my opinion this is incitement to violence against a minority. Changing trans people to "trans ideology" does not make it any less so.

One should always be suspicious when the state resists disclosure of documents.

And one should be more suspicious when the state suddenly purports to agree to the disclosure of documents.

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

Nice to get the peace prize but if trump doesn’t win the actual World Cup, on his own, then I think he should bomb the shit out of FIFA. Show the man the respect he deserves.

Modern society is the human version of a betta fish in a 1 gallon bowl with forks constantly being poked in. The mental health of society is probably way worse than the numbers reflect.

The only truly irreversible thing a trans child is likely to do is take their own life. "What if they do something irreversible?" actually means "theyre not allowed to make a decision!"

You cant undo or reverse any decision you make, you can simply change your mind later and handle the consequences

"Reform would be worse" is both entirely correct and entirely irrelevant until polling day 2029. What matters right now is that Labour's approach is morally repugnant on its own terms, *and is empowering Reform*. As things stand today, its not Labour or Reform. Its Labour *then* Reform.
While it feels like I'm repeatedly slamming my head against a brick wall repeating this massively simple concept. Saying "Reform would be worse" doesn't make what Labour is doing better. Labour is now the most anti-immigration, anti-any marginalised group, government we have seen in decades. 1/
Very long thread: As with many of Labour's anti-immigration policies, this isn't new. British police have been stationed in other countries for this purpose for a long time
It does however show how Labour is pushing more on anti-immigration than previous governments. 1/
