Labour is losing voters to progressive parties disproportionately. And they are not mainly "lanyard" professional or working classes, the oppositional forces of Blue Labour and right discourse. It's squeezed millennials in service careers. Which our politics ignores. • Demographically, most progressive defectors are frustrated lower middle class Millennials - not affluent urbanites or a PMC 'lanyard class. Though they have liberal social values, many are frustrated graduates; Millennials with a mortgage or rent they are struggling to afford - primary school teachers, IT support or clerical workers. In short, the face of the modern social democratic voter.

Speaking as a lower middle class graduate with an office job and a mortgage, born in the late seventies, I would say: this is half my social circle and most of the people I worked with for years. How in the name of Christ did nobody in politics or media see this coming?

The Rowling tax on female athletes is a a wake-up call to all women.

The gender critical are tearing up the rights of ALL WOMEN.

Rich and powerful men are using the gender critical to facilitate their goal of the complete subjugation of ALL WOMEN.

Basically two groups in Labour right now:

-soft left types starting to realise they followed the herd when they probably shouldn't have and are thinking they might have fucked it.

-Blue Labour types, grenade in one hand, pin in the other screaming that if they're going you're going with them

Mahmood to stop study visas from four countries due to 'abuse' The government will end study visas from Afghanistan, Cameroon, Myanmar and Sudan, due to what she says is abuse.

Punishing people from the world’s worst conflict zones for using the only legal route to claim asylum, and forcing them to take dangerous routes instead. Reprehensible and counterproductive as usual.

Once again, the west values the ruined holidays or tax dodging of “expats” (economic migrants) over 175+ people including many children in a girl’s school by air strikes.

Anyone have a Milk and more referal code?

Modern Milkman has failed us too many times and want to switch

“Yes, they are withdrawing healthcare.”

“Yes they are trying to force people into the wrong bathrooms.”

“Yes they’re telling the police not to investigate crimes against us.”

“Yes they’re trying to out children to abusive parents.”

Let's be clear. If Streeting cared remotely about the wellbeing of trans youth he would have called an immediate public inquiry into the 500% increase of deaths in trans kids after he and others stopped gender affirming care.

But instead, he commissioned a bogus report to try and cover it up.

Labour’s vote is collapsing everywhere.

In Peterborough last night, as in Gorton and Denton, voting Green is the only way to stop Reform.

For our U.S. readers, this shit right here is why there can be NO COMPROMISE on trans rights - not sports, not bathrooms, not clothing, not names, not BCs. NOTHING! Whatever 'bone' you throw to genitally-obsessed bigots will never be enough. I will not vote for concession on basic human rights.

I am one of the most published academics on the childhood social transition, with 5 peer reviewed articles that relate to the topic.

There is so much evidence of benefit of social transition.

There is no evidence of harm. Not one jot.

This will literally kill trans kids. No exaggeration.

Tim Allan, who just quit as Starmer's director of comms, was on the board of the trans-eliminationist hate group "Sex Matters", whose director of advocacy Helen Joyce urged transphobes to get through to "decision makers" so that the "numbers" of trans people could be "reduced." That's what they did.

The way people will just casually dehumanise children is so grim.

Any time I look to see what the Labour government is up to in the UK it turns out to be things like making posters that Alfonso Cuarón put in the background of the long tracking shot that opens “Children of Men”.

My headcannon is that the Gruffalo is a trans man

Trans athletes may not have fitness advantage in women’s sport, landmark study finds Findings suggest physical performance in trans women converges toward that of cis women over time

you don't say? at some point we're going to acknowledge what every study ever on this subject has said, right? right? www.independent.co.uk/news/science...

The Paris Prosecutor's office announced they are leaving X by stating they raided their offices.

What a way to leave X.

The only reason the EHRC is witholding publication of its minutes is because we've previously used them to show the depth of collusion & conflicts of interest with anti trans groups & legal efforts under Falkners regime.

Thats clearly continuing.

The idea that a Farage-led UK government wouldn’t follow the same path is naïve

I honestly think a sizable amount of this is just the typical "old people don't understand computers" trope.

I was still working for the NHS when Wakefield was struck off and the BMJ repudiated his paper. We managed to get interviews with our infection control head into the local papers, one gave it the front page. I honestly thought we were winning
