Daily Mail Headline: Pupils' drawings could be blasphemous under Islamic law, Labour councils tell schools - while music and dance classes may go against the teachings of Islam

Oh boy! What a headline...

Ask yourself:

"What am I being asked to believe?"

"Who am I being told to blame?"

Take a few seconds to imagine what the Daily Mail (And Telegraph, GB News and Express) WANT you to think is going on.

Let's see what's ACTUALLY happening...🧵

cis friends i want you to really understand this horror

imagine if in half of US states if you were in an accident/got sick and had to go to the hospital

the medical professionals there would FORCE THE WRONG HORMONE INTO YOUR BODY, making it change in ways antithetical to who you are

IMAGINE IT

Thanks to all the LGBT and Feminist organisations within all the respective parties for signing this, and it was amazing working with you all.

Polanski is clearly embarrassed about a dickhead thing he did quite a long time ago. The attempt to make this into ongoing evidence of his unsuitability to be involved in politics *now* is a bit pathetic. This isn’t the Nixon White House tapes for fuck’s sake.

"I didn't know"

Good.

Long past time the Union movement as a whole ended the illusion that the Labour Party is an extension of their movement and that there are no other equivalent or better party vehicles for workers' rights.

What is London’s al-Quds Day march and why has the event been banned? Annual demonstration in support of Palestinian rights especially sensitive in light of US-Israel war on Iran

40 years of peaceful protest ended because Shabana Mahmood has an itchy trigger finger for authoritarianism and Starmer couldn't rein in a minister if they were openly gunning people down in Whitehall

Would merrily advocate for every single university manager to be made to convene a first-year module one term out of four. And let them see how 'light' the workload is.

They do not understand what it takes to work in a university these days, and they are dismissive of us by that ignorance.

Editorial in the Guardian:

"This crisis must see the government focus like a laser on faster decarbonisation, not more drilling"

Home - Not in our name Not In our Name: Women in support of the trans+community

More than 91,900 women have already signed to say that trans exclusion is not in our name.

We’re now aiming for 100,000 signatures, and it would be incredible to reach that mark by tonight with the help of everyone at the Trans Mission Live concert and everyone following along from home.

Trevor Phillips is on Times Radio at the moment presenting its lunchtime show and talking about the imminent release of the Mandelson files. He’s not mentioned that Peter Mandelson has been his friend for many years and was best man at his first wedding.

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

The due diligence report on Peter Mandelson's appointment handed to Keir Starmer warned about Mandelson's financial links to Russia, which he retained "long after Putin's annexation of Crimea"

A cartoon by Ron Cobb (1975), showing a shadow of US B-52 bomber above cratered landscape. Two people who look like Vietnamese peasants look up; one says “they’re having problems with their economy again.”

This is from 1975.

Meanwhile, the appeal was paid for by the public purse. This really should never be allowed.

Do Not Go Gentle by Kathleen Stock review – the case against euthanasia The philosopher offers a measured and reasonable argument against assisted dying

Here she is again, interfering in the choices other people make about their lives. The Guardian applauds.

Where was Farage’s closest aide and Reform UK Welsh leader Nathan Gill heading when he was arrested for taking bribes from Putin’s pal Medvedchuk?

To a Kremlin sponsored conference in Moscow, to talk about the role of crypto currencies in politics

The warnings are there for us all to see

Yeah, Trump is starting to pivot toward blaming everyone around him. I’m sure that’ll go over well.

"Hands up if you flew 4,400 miles to kiss the arse of a tangerine turd, only for him to ignore you"

No, you sycophantic chode. He’s not stopping the threat, he’s encouraging an attack.

*heavy exhale*

If they remove access to transitional care for adults, I will detransition into the man Guy Fawkes failed to be.

I’m essentially really boring. I have a pretty standard 9-5 office job like almost everyone else.

I’m learning the piano, love walks in nature and used to be majorly into photography.

I’ve never hurt anyone, I just wanted a quiet life but I’m trans, so Labour don’t think I should exist anymore.

I hate this smug prick

Nigel Farage accused of U-turn as he says UK should keep out of Iran war Reform leader’s latest comment contrasts with earlier statement that ‘gloves need to come off’

🐩 Seems like someone has finally realised that Brit's don't want to be Trump's lapdog...

Josh Simons MP O @joshsimonsmp X.com This is an imp thread by @adamlangleben who gave a lot to expelling antisemitism from @UKLabour. I was 22 when I went to work for Corbyn - angry about class, privatisation, agency work. I never thought being Jewish was relevant. Eve since, ppl around Corbyn have been after Jewish friends and colleagues who worked to bring the EHRC case. They want to rewrite the history of what happened. Here is the truth. The EHRC investigation had to meet a high legal bar to even happen. The Met Police was the only other organisation who met it. That is the depths to which the Labour Party sank. The oldest hatred is never far from the surface. Most journalists, politicians, and citizens in this country know that.

Trust me bro, nothing suss happened here - The MP that just had to resign for setting investigators on a bunch of journos who wrote about Labour Together taking big bungs; told the spooks that they were working with the Russians, and quietly told MPs and other hacks those journos were traitors.

This is also another effort to bounce him into further action. Unfortunately, he is very likely just to fall in with it.

A lot of kids are going to die because of Wes Streeting. Hope he never sleeps again.

I’m 52, a post grad student who works part time in a supermarket and makes music.

I love cinema, music, cats and dogs.

I’ve never hurt anyone, I just want a quiet life but I’m trans, so Labour don’t think I should exist anymore.

And he still has virtually no influence within the EU.
