The short EHRC consultation was fascinating because the questions were "is this clear", and apart from the obvious 'clarity is not the issue here' I was able to honestly answer no. Most of the questions made no grammatical sense.

Hundreds of MPs just voted to abolish one of the fundamental pillars of democracy (the right to jury trial), but yeah, let's reheat "hypnotits" that's important.

Apparently it's noteworthy to report if a politician does something dishonest. πŸ™ƒ

A Labour MP's husband has just been arrested for spying.

There are so many genuinely fascinating and outrageous political stories at the moment.

This isn't making me think "Oh no, I'd better vote for the Murdering Trans Kids Party."

It makes me think they should get a grip.

I've wasted hours responding to government and EHRC 'consultations' that have deeply upset me, and have affected me for days and it never makes a difference.

At least if you fill in an Amnesty petition, you occasionally help free a political prisoner.

You're right, I much prefer it when Labour pretend to offer hope to desperate people, then break their pledges and gleefully cackle while destroying the country.

The colour of the rosette makes all the difference.

And Labour MP Joanie Reid's husband was recently arrested on charges of spying for the Chinese government.

Maybe we should be discussing the fact that a Labour MP Joanie Reid's husband is facing credible accusations of spying for the Chinese government?

I'd be very surprised if Polanski's partner - who works in healthcare - is selling secrets to Britain's enemies.

I would, because it's an incredibly trivial thing to pretend to be upset about.

Zia Yusuf is racist & anti-immigration.

Rupert Lowe (allegedly) engaged in behaviour so obnoxious that he was kicked out of *Reform*. (Mandy Clare wasn't ejected, & she (allegedly) attacked a pregnant woman).

Sure. I just think it's incredibly odd that *you* care.

Graphic illustrating that Keir Starmer has broken every single pledge he made, in ways that have harmed people, none of which the Guardian care about.

Genuinely @vickyfoxcroftmp.bsky.social what is the point? 62% of respondees disagreed with Labour's dangerous DFE guidance and you implemented it anyway.

3 million people signed a petition against digital ID and you're ploughing on.

Why does Labour bother running these fake consultations?

Stop making changes that no-one wants.

Ok I've now had the chance to listen to the clip and read the article.

Walker's take on this is disingenuous twaddle.

I'm genuinely confused about why some centrists / Labour supporters think this is a gotcha.

Listen to the clip and read the article. This isn't any sort of expose.

Disingenuous twaddle.

I listened to the clip. Your post is disingenuous as fuck.

"Polanski said it was an "experiment" and needed further research.

He added that he hoped people would decide they did not want to enhance their breasts but would "become more comfortable from the inside out"."

And I will, likely later this evening.

But you missed the crucial part where I don't care. I'm a Green Party member because I support LGBTQ rights, affordable housing, nationalisation & renewables.

I'm not going to suddenly vote for the hard right on the basis of this BBC article.

Sigh. To explain why I consider the BBC liars. Because otherwise you'd have jumped all over that.

And the centrist presumption that not being in Labour equals slavish devotion to a leader of any kind is so incredibly tedious.

* Did you know that:

a) Maya Forstater was not fired?
b) That she didn't get her contract renewed?
c) That it was about inappropriate conduct on social media, not her supposed belief that 'sex is real'.

Sigh. We are members of the Green Party because it reflects our values.

Labour's policies are killing people. Including children

Even if this is true - unlikely given the BBC's propensity for lying* - I genuinely do not care.

Keir Starmer appointed Peter Mandelson in full knowledge that he was friends with a convicted paedophilic rapist.

Wes Streeting's policies have caused trans children to commit suicide.

Labour just abolished the right to jury trials in many cases.

I do not give a shit about tit hypnosis.

The Labour Party's policies are killing children, Peter.

I know this article is over 2 mths old; it’s resurfaced in the context of unemployment.
That @labouruk.bsky.social continue to search for other reasons for joblessness makes🌹look even MORE out of touch.

The UK Government is murdering trans people. We must call it what it is. It's not NHS policy. It's cold blooded murder.

So Stock is against trans rights, abortion rights and assisted dying.

I know this isn't news, but she's nothing but a regressive conservative.
