Oh, we do. Since her appointment Mary-Ann Stephenson has declined to recognise that trans women are women, has affirmed the hideous guidance drawn up by her predecessor, and has proven correct the two Select Committees who rejected her appointment because she was hopelessly out of her depth.

Presumably this is the same people who threatened The Stand comedy club with legal action for the same reason, and I note the fun irony that they are constantly trying to force themselves into places where they are not wanted, against the will of the people there.
Well, would you want bigots pushing a hard right billionaire funded patriarchal agenda in your boozer?

Shabana Mahmood casually saying they're gonna take migrant's jewellery off them has got me thinking about that scene in Schindler's List where the Jewish family wrap family heirlooms in bread and swallow them.

People surprised that some formerly sensible left-leaning or liberal women are now apparently full of admiration for white supremacists, rapists and genocide might note that their entry point for far right radicalisation was invariably a belief that transphobia is ‘feminist’. Just saying.

The Real Stakes, and Real Story, of Peter Thiel’s Antichrist Obsession
Thirty years ago, a peace-loving Austrian theologian spoke to Peter Thiel about the apocalyptic theories of Nazi jurist Carl Schmitt. They’ve been a road map for the billionaire ever since.

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

A party that continues to address its bleeding of support to the left with calls to 'attack' them while maintaining its failed strategy of appealing to the right is not a party that is engaging with reality. It is one that has been taken over by ideological fanatics and should be treated as such.
Bella Sankey, the leader of Brighton and Hove Council, has urged Labour members to “get over” their “squeamishness” over attacking the Green Party.

Hey, say what you want about The Telegraph and their hard-right bent – they sure seem to like Morgan McSweeney! In fact, they think it would be disastrous for Keir Starmer to sack him, even now! Isn't that interesting? Shall we all ponder how interesting that is together? What could it mean?
"Mr McSweeney was widely perceived to have been influential in this pivot. While his Right-wing credentials should not be overstated [...] it is also the case that many in the party are markedly to his Left, and display even greater hostility to private wealth and freedom of speech."

I'm confused... arrest hundreds of pensioners for holding some cardboard and it's proportionate and necessary, but arrest one high profile bigot telling his followers to attack trans people in toilets, and suddenly it's a waste of police time?
