The border between Cantwara rīce (Kingdom of the Kentish) & Sūþseaxna rīce (South Saxons) is still the border between the counties of Kent & Sussex

A 1,400 year old ditch created to stop conflict, by marking the border to avoid confusion, is our southern woodland boundary

Why seek political office if you have a stonking majority and you use it to…endlessly fret about losing your majority rather than running a country? It’s no good. There is no theory for how to make things better. It’s not even well managed decline.

You won't get a much better illustration of how many people in the Westminster bubble treat politics as a game without consequences than Peston barking about the growing climate of aggression toward millions of Britons like Kilroy introducing the final round of Share or Shaft.
Is the Reform MP who says she’s driven mad by TV adverts full of Black & Asian people a racist or realist? How many migrants would the Tories expel? & should the UK be selling fighter jets to Türkiye?

You will not see a more tangible encapsulation of the genocide. A war of utter annihilation waged as a joint enterprise between the Israeli state on the ground and its allies in consistent support. The debt of reparations that the West owes to the Palestinian people at this point is incalculable.
This is amongst the most impactful two minutes of broadcasting I’ve ever seen.

How a new deal was ever in consideration under these circumstances is a mark on Arsenal, and that’s even before the public backing from his manager (“after everything he’s been through”) and decisions to make him the cover star of programmes and hero content on social channels while this was known.

This obsession is with “young men turning to the right” is everything that is wrong with the discussion about the far right.

It is not just an inadequate read of what is happening, and a bias towards the male norm, but it also normalizes the far right and obscures support for inclusive politics. 🧵

Again, ask yourself, would any of this be happening if the Supreme Court ruling went the other way? Would the Government be rushing to enshrine trans protections? Would there be calls to assess the damage of GC hate that “captured” the media? Would MPs be lining up to declare trans women are women?
Hey, remember people saying Supreme Court ruling wouldn't remove rights from trans and non-binary individuals, yeah that's not how reality works. It has further opened the door to this Attacks on our existence. To claims our lives are "an ideology to be combatted". 1/5

if you are a cis person it costs you nothing to just say today that you see & hear your trans sisters & brothers & others over in the UK today -- and around the world, too, knowing that rulings like today's ripple out in ugly ways.

Apparently no space for genuine strategic thinking when it comes to plans for English Devolution. The North East corner of Hampshire has more in common with parts of Surrey + Berkshire across county borders than it does the Solent. Missed opportunity. 1/3
