Transmisogyny directly hurts not only the lives of trans women, but it comes to hurt cis women as well, now cisgender athletes will have to pay for testing to "prove they're cis" due to transmisogynist policy. www.thetimes.com/sport/athlet...
we can explain how an LLM works because we can alter it trivially. we can build it from scratch. you cannot build a human mind.
The Welsh Labour Govt is planning to include glass in its deposit return scheme. Yes, the same glass the UK Govt vetoed from the Scottish deposit return scheme using the UK Internal Market Act. How is it that Wales is allowed to include glass but not Scotland? 👇
I still can’t believe Joani Reid’s husband is an alleged Chinese spy and an Alba plant snuck into the number one spot on the Labour Lothian list and Anas Sarwar tried and failed to coup Starmer. What a month for the Scottish Labour Party.
BREAKING: Scottish Labour MP Joani Reid has resigned the Labour Whip after her husband was arrested on suspicion of spying for China.
Story to follow.
I have listened to the same Beaches song at least seven times in a row today
The mould outbreak at Glasgow's infection scandals hospital has been upgraded to a "red" alert, John Swinney has confirmed.

Opinion Restoring order at the border speaks to Labour values. Without that, we won't be able to do anything else at all Shabana Mahmood Our approach, unlike that of the Greens and Reform, is in step with the British people. They don't want extremes - they want a system that is managed and fair Shabana Mahmood is the UK home secretary
This is a hot mess of outright lies and misinformation from the Home Secretary, designed to try and persuade people that a government which is implementing some of the most hostile anti-immigration/asylum policies, in practice, for decades is progressive. 1/

This is the point about Labour introducing retrospective changes to the immigration system. They set the precedent for any Govt. to say that they can go back on promises to migrants and people of colour as far back as they want.
Especially if I served on the home affairs committee
And seem very confident of!
Indeed, just look at the poll out today that has the SNP winning “only” 4 constituencies in the Edinburgh region (2 of which losses to the Greens)
Hush now
I do enjoy the little mute button
UK puts emergency brake on study visas for four countries' nationals Shabana Mahmood says UK's generosity abused as visas halted for nationals from Afghanistan, Cameroon, Myanmar and Sudan Nadeem Badshah Tue 3 Mar 2026 23.53 GMT The government has imposed an emergency brake on visas for the first time on nationals from four countries, as Shabana Mahmood accused them of exploiting Britain's generosity to claim asylum. Study visas for nationals from Afghanistan, Cameroon, Myanmar and Sudan have been halted, in addition to work visas for Afghans.
Protection 'Work and Study' visa route The government does not believe that refugees should seek to remain on core protection long-term. We want to encourage refugees to integrate more fully into the communities providing them sanctuary. To address this, we will encourage refugees to switch out of the Core Protection route wherever possible. We will introduce a new, in-country Protection Work and Study route. A person granted protection will be eligible to apply to move into this route if they obtain employment or commence study at an appropriate level and pay a fee. Once on this route, they will become eligible to 'earn' settlement sooner than they would under core protection alone.
This makes a mockery of Labour's claim they're opening more "safe routes" for people to seek asylum via work and study schemes.
Home Secretary once again ignores people's lives in favour of cruelty. Labour is forcing people into using irregular routes. #r4today

Keir pal, what *do* you believe at this point
One of my favourite sides of politics/media.
The Labour Party continues to be evil.
🚨Today, the UK government announced harsh new asylum rules that will make refugee status for people fleeing war and persecution temporary.
These proposals are cruel, unworkable and undemocratic.
Here is our response: https://scottishrefugeecouncil.org.uk/cruel-asylum-changes-unworkable/
Over the last two years, there have been assaults, violent attacks on mosques, and anti-Muslim rhetoric from prominent figures on the far right. But there's also been renewed scrutiny of issues within Muslim communities, and how well integration has happened. There are questions about how well successive governments have engaged with Muslims to deal with issues in their own communities, and Islamophobia from outside.
So the BBC did an article about a Muslim man who got hideous racist abuse for appearing in a “Welcome” advert at Heathrow airport…
…and they included this passage. What the actual fuck is wrong with them?!
SUZANNE MOORE Gender dysphoria is just a phase. Hilary Cass has proof
Suzanne Moore now needs to recycle the old “just a phase” trope used by homophobic bigots in the 20th Century.
And relying on the totally discredited Cass Review for this drivel is utter desperation.
This .. once there was acceptance that international borders should be respected
But you did shift right and try to out reform reform

Labour care about Scotland only in so much as we have Westminster seats they’d like to win, and don’t ever forget it
they’ve gone ‘extra money for Scotland because Anas Sarwar asked us’ to ‘get back in your box the real politicians are talking’
