‘Lamenting the loneliness of people who take pride in alienating others requires recasting antisocial behavior as political bravery.’

So what if MAGA lonely hearts never find love?
There's a reason those "swiping left on Trump supporters" stories won't go out of style.

‘It is disingenuous – and a distraction – to suggest that the shift to private provision is about a craving for choice or even quicker care, as if millennials are Carrie Bradshaw shopping around for high-end healthcare.‘

Young people want to ‘go private’ – I’m a lifelong supporter of the NHS, but I can see why | Frances Ryan
This shift marks an existential crisis for the NHS: if younger generations don’t use it, they won’t want to pay for it, says Guardian columnist Frances Ryan

A British surgeon returned from Gaza says Israeli soldiers were shooting at aid-seekers “almost like a game of target practice".

He also said formula doctors had packed to bring with them was the only item confiscated by Israeli authorities before entry.

Formula.

Those who are uncomfortable with this Labour immigration announcement, but think it's necessary to satisfy Reform voters, this is for you.

You will not satisfy. You will never satisfy.

Keir Starmer might as well be walking around with a 'Vote Reform' t-shirt on.
If you thought the PM’s speech was punchy, his foreword to the immigration white paper says high net migration has done “incalculable damage” to the country.

That is a serious shift in tone for a Labour government/party.

Lots of very high profile UK biologists sign a letter saying that biological sex isn't binary or immutable and that the Supreme Court's ruling is scientifically wrong!

We really need to hammer home how the anti-trans side is anti-science

As Keir Starmer does a “trans women are men” media tour today, I hope people think about that time he invoked the memory of Brianna Ghey in Parliament as part of a gotcha for Rishi Sunak. Abusing her memory for PR whilst plotting to remove the rights she would’ve had to live as herself. He’s sick.

‘This restriction on the meaning of sex to a narrow idea of biology is used to justify the exclusion of trans women from women’s spaces. That is in essence the point of the restriction and also the goal of the appellant.’

The idea that trans women should use men’s toilets, and trans men should use women’s toilets, is completely absurd and unworkable.

Research has shown that half of trans people fear using toilets as it is.

All of this will simply help drive trans people out of society.
