Why is the UK sheltering Israel's genocide-inciting ambassador? It is long past time Tzipi Hotovely was expelled from London. Starmer’s inaction proves he has no intention of stopping his support for Israel’s crimes in Gaza

Crowds of brave people have surrounded the ICE detention centre in Los Angeles. They are trying to liberate victims kidnapped by Trump’s regime forces.

Victims were abducted and thrown into the basement of the building without due process. #3E

In amongst all the excitement I fear many have missed this outstanding bit of trolling by Friedrich Merz.

The Chancellor gifted Trump a gilded framed copy of his grandfather’s German birth certificate... reminding Americans that Trump is both the child and grandchild of migrants.

The more I hear about Sotogrande, the more convinced I become that it’s a lawless Dodge City for rich Russian bullies.

Wes Streeting implies the govt had to target pensioners & disabled people in order to raise money for the NHS.

No Wes. You could have targeted the super rich with a wealth tax. Instead you've chosen to go after ordinary people. That tells us whose side you're on.

When Tory donor Frank Hester reportedly said Diane Abbott – the longest-serving Black MP – made him β€œwant to hate all black women” and that she β€œshould be shot”, Kemi Badenoch dismissed it as β€œtrivia”. When Kneecap, made a similarly abhorrent past remark she wants them banned. #TwoTierKemi

Post-Brexit plan would allow British and European 18 to 30-year-olds to travel and work freely.

A small and welcome step in undoing the Brexit damage. Must extend it to all, as well as free movement of goods

Rejoin the EU. Better than being enslaved by Trump.

- Will male police officers now have powers to strip search any woman they suspect as being trans?
- What does 'biological sex' mean? Is it 1. what's on your birth certificate? 2. one's genitals? 3. hormonal? 4. chromosomes? 5. A combination of all of these?
- If 1. will we all now have to carry our birth certificates around with us and present them every time we wish to urinate? If 2. Will we have to present our genitals for inspection? (in which case some trans women have vaginas)? If 3. Will we have to take a 'gender test' similar to that undergone by elite athletes? If 4. How will that be measured?
- If the answer is 5 - where will intersex people go? What is deemed to be the 'correct' balance of female hormones? Will cis women with naturally high testosterone be allowed to use single sex spaces? What about cis women who are post-menopausal?
- Where are trans men supposed to go if they need a single sex space? I cannot imagine the gender critical campaigners behind the Supreme Court decision would be comfortable sharing with people who are indistinguishable in almost every way from cis men (and trans men would certainly not want to do that either).
And finally if, as I suspect, all of the answers to my questions above conspire to create a situation where womanhood is a tightly gatekept thing, accessible only to those who meet strict criteria, and everyone else is labelled 'not woman' - How is that a win for feminism?

I’ve asked my local MP to ask these questions to the government on my behalf. Feel free to copy and paste if useful.

Labour politics is now about rule by indifference that seeks to impose cruelty As The Guardian notes this morning: Ministers are privately ruling out scrapping the two-child benefit cap despite warnings from charities that a failure to do so could result in the highest levels o...

Labour will not remove the two-child benefit cap because it wants to reward those in society who like the cruelty implicit in it. Labour's moral bankruptcy is reaching new depths. Its leadership is revealing its callousness. I am sickened by them. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/04...

@mrjamesob.bsky.social hi James, enjoying the discussion about the Pope. I’m not a religious person at all but I feel like we’ve lost one of the good guys- and the world needs a few good guys at present.

There is no Cost of Living Crisis.

Supermarkets have permanently quadrupled their profits.
Energy Companies have permanently x10ed their profits.

It is a Cost of Greed Crisis and it needs to be reversed.
