Zack Polanski would probably say that it's important to listen to people's concerns & avoid stating a firm opinion about vaccine mandates in the case of a future pandemic. Which is exactly the sort of vacillating that cost us, at best, thousands of lives during Covid. Granola libertarianism.

Yes please. Happy to contribute to their leaving present, just to get rid. (Oh, you mean they're not actually going to leave the HoC? Just the party that got them elected in the first place? Gosh, how ethical of them.)

Oooh, Zack's being less direct with his attacks on Starmer, but still managing to play a little dog whistle, in his inimitable style. Can you imagine if he was actually anywhere near power? Headless chickens would look competent by comparison. πŸ™„

It's #InternationalWomensDay and Covid #DayofReflection today. My adult niece was a victim of the pandemic in the cruellest way (suicide) and I've been made very aware recently of a bias against women in diagnosis & treatment of Long Covid. Still a long way to go on #Equality.

Brilliant European women powered progress, but the credit did not always go to them.

Such a shame that the only woman Sharon Graham seems interested in protecting is herself...!

New Employment Rights Act β€˜a huge boost for women in the workplace’ Government says new rights for parental leave and sick pay will increase equality and economic growth

The Guardian has a positive article about Labour today on the benefits of the Employment Rights Act 2025, much of which comes into force next month.

Please read the article and share it widely, to let the Guardian know this is more the sort of content we want!

Who better to accuse others of being a laughing stock than the sexually incontinent compulsive liar who can't dress himself and combs his hair with a balloon?

When women are safe, communities thrive - Llamau

This Sunday is International Women’s Day. But across Wales, too many women experiencing domestic abuse are also facing homelessness β€” often sofa surfing or staying in unsafe environments.

When women have safe housing and the right support, they can rebuild their lives and communities grow stronger.

Spain’s MEP Irene Montero speaking to reporters

Spain’s MEP Irene Montero speaking to reporters

Irene Montero: No woman has ever been freed by American bombs or illegal aggression β€” Not in Syria. Not in Iraq. Not in Afghanistan. It will not happen in Iran either

When they want to sell their oil wars, their wars for profit, their imperial wars β€” they hide behind women’s rights to justify them

Marvellous work by local people, over many years, to have finally pulled together all the funding and expertise to restore the building. Played just a tiny part in the grand scheme of things but very proud to have been the one who got the ball rolling. #PlasGunter (Also, links to Bridgerton πŸ˜‰)

Female MPs bear brunt as crimes against politicians surge More than 1,000 offences were reported to the police, including harassment and threats to kill

Shocked but not surprised by this chilling report. LWN has long campaigned for safety measures in politics - for MPs and all women in public life. Solidarity with sisters facing abuse and intimidation while serving their communities.

Sound brilliant - don't suppose you'd consider sharing? (Can I DM you?)

Yep, seems a more likely rationale? Epstein distraction is a by product, but not the motive, for starting a war. Cancelling the mid terms is what it's all about. Terrifying.

That is abject bollocks. This Government has invested record amounts in net zero, and for the first time, the UK will use geothermal technology to power homes. There are plenty of things to criticise Keir Starmer for, but net zero is not one of them.

This is total nonsense and has no regard for any actual policy content it’s just a vibe. Meanwhile I’m yet to see a single decarbonisation policy from Polanski that isn’t wealth taxes but apparently that’s acceptable?

If ever you needed a front page to capture the crass yet also dangerous silliness of so much of our media, and the impact of right wing nationalism which has done so much harm through a history from which some seem so unable to learn
