Yes! Labour is absolutely actively and aggressively anti-trans, far more so than the previous government in terms of policies and rhetoric.
For example:
🚨 Made puberty blockers ban permanent
🚨Covered up increase in suicides of trans young people
🚨 Reimplemented Section 28 for trans individuals.

Dear UK, please send your aircraft carriers to Ukraine. We actually appreciate our allies.

Mine was at least simple, in that it told me how many times I’d used their app for my e-banking. Which given I use it at least once a fortnight….

Me: *thumbs through it* Yes and I don’t care.

Okay, so I am definitely going to have to go freelance, at least for a while. So, if anyone has any advice on actually building up and finding freelance policy and comms works, including providing media and advocacy training, campaign planning and strategy please let me know.

This article was amended on 5 March 2026. An earlier version said low-skilled workers would “receive immediate access to welfare and social housing” if Labour did not make them wait longer to apply for settlement. In fact, settlement status only gives people the eligibility to apply for welfare and social housing, it does not give them instant or automatic access to such benefits. This has been clarified. From breaking news to huge investigative proje

Guardian has now [after my complaint] corrected Mahmood's deliberate & incendiary false claim settlement gives immigrants "immediate access to welfare and social housing".

Good for Gdn but embarrassing/shameful that Home Secretary deliberately misled the public for political gain like this.

£1.6bn SEND pot risks being ‘swallowed up’, leaders warn Flagship fund to improve inclusion in mainstream schools ‘won’t go very far at all’, and a clear national strategy is needed on how to use it, government is told

School leaders have warned that the government proposals for funding mainstream inclusion are “extremely unrealistic” and risk there not being enough provision to meet demand.

The voters: “we don’t like your rightward shift”

Starmer: “fuck you”

Someone got stupidly overconfident on their polling numbers, decided to try and get the most ill suited person to stand as a Reform candidate.

(Side note: Someone said it would just add to the massive chips on the man’s shoulders. They were right.)

Even if you disincluded the racist claptrap, you’ve only got to put his name in a search engine (not an AI one) and you’ll see his misogyny from miles away. Every female in the constituency is going to be like “no”.

Now add the racist claptrap back and get people to look up Reform.

This is not a game

No, it is the children who are wrong This week: Keir Starmer has decided that he blames the voters. Also: some golden age anti-car propaganda; and some new maps of British living standards.

"Where’s the soul searching about why voters might have defected to a challenger from the left? Why, in God’s name, did anyone think it was a good idea to imply a large chunk of Labour’s coalition is, in fact, stupid?"

Newsletter out. Bit angry.

… and keeping insulting people who might even be tempted to vote for you.

"This is not about being a sore loser" I continue to insist as I slowly shrink and transform into a corn cob.

the gendercrits have never understood what was obvious to us all along which was that the puberty blockers WERE the gatekeeping option - the idiots have successfully banned their own best bet for a gatekeeping strategy and now trans kids are all on self-administered E or T

Well, yes, trans people are getting drugs; yes, from entirely unregulated sources; yes, without counselling; yes, without blood tests; yes, they are self-administering; yes, without clinical oversight; yes, risking long term harm; yes, it is highly suboptimal.

What did you think would happen?

You know what would actually stop Iran from firing missiles in defense?

Not attacking them in the first place!!

All this does is add Britain, it's assets and any of its civilians in the middle East to the target list.

Keir Starmer is an idiot.

Definitely. They could’ve argued quite literally that the rightward turn was the only way to block them.

It’s also why they’re reacting as badly as they are to the Green’s winning. They can’t argue they’re right in the same way.

“We cannot say that the United States’ actions are against international law, but we condemn Iran’s retaliatory actions as against international law,” is neither a coherent nor a compelling position.

Thank you.

OK, the Gorton and Denton by-election, I have some thoughts!

Let's take a look at some of the FACTS and burst a few of the more ridiculous takes doing the rounds

But first up, can we acknowledge just what bad losers Reform are?!🤣

Right, let's get started...

Maybe it’s because I’m a colonial historian but so many of these white nation states seem to behave exactly like they did in the 19th century: ‘your leaders aren’t right for you,’ ‘we’re only killing you/colonizing you/installing puppet leaders for your own good’

There’s over interpreting and there’s burying your head in the sand while yelling about how everyone is an extremist anyway.

There hasn’t been any interpreting. There’s been plenty of head in sanding.

Should. Won’t.

Guy is a prat, tbh.
