Emily Thornberry dissents from Labour’s deeply transphobic policies designed to harm trans kids.

Maybe I’m no good at politics but an opposition leader choosing to go on the national broadcaster and highlight government policies that help the poorest, only to say you wouldn’t do that and you’d go to war instead, seems stupid

Ok, so why are they disaffected with Labour?

Some of it is similar to other groups - the slow pace of change.

But left defection is more distinctly values based than right. Rather than just one issue, there's a sense that Labour has been more right wing than they expected.

Controversial comet theory struck by two new retractions In a now-retracted paper, the authors report they found shocked quartz formed by an airburst from clouds of comet fragments that hit earth more than 12,000 years ago. Source PLOS One has retracted …

Two more YDIH papers bite the dust.

Frankly bizarre response to Keir’s fairly informed answer RE renewable energy. Pretty obvious to everyone that relying on international markets for oil and gas makes us vulnerable and she doesn’t understand that more drilling won’t change that

How BAFTA’s N-word controversy has led to a campaign of bullying | The News Agents John Davidson’s N-word outburst at the BAFTAs left many in shock, but has an ugly debate led to bullying, when there should have been understanding and compassion?

"It shows the vapid insincerity and shallowness of Hollywood. They will stand and cheer a film about Tourette's, but don't want to be around a bloke who has it."

Has debate about John Davidson's N-word use at the BAFTA turned into a bullying campaign?

In case the scam here isn't obvious - Grammarly is, without permission, creating little LLM agents based on the work of academics and then claiming this is the same as their "expert opinion" - using their names and reputations for free without consent.

I hope people who have met me are aware; I have spent most of my adult life making fun of my Tourette’s. It makes it easier to handle, but this just isn’t it
