Have said this before in other forms, but will reiterate it here: if you're doing long-form writing of any sort, reading the words aloud into a microphone is a completely unparalleled cheat code. It's free, easy, and so effective it feels like it shouldn't be allowed. I do it in a few stages...
Well he's gone viral *now* at least, but not quite in the way he'd hoped. Thank you Labour List for helping bring to even more people's attention that Darren Jones was suspended from the Greens in 2024 for transphobia and now says Labour is a good home for his values
They killed 163 little schoolgirls.
So brave. Much hero. #USA

You cannot trust the British press. About anything, but especially not about trans people. They are habitual, cruel, vicious liars, and their aim is only to inflict as much damage as possible, however they can.

I’m searching for the original and/or rights owner of this fabulous picture of Birmingham in the early 1970s. It popped up on my Instagram feed, but I’ve been unable to track it down.
Any leads? I’m really hoping to use it in a book.

Average real wage of UK workers barely moved since 2008.
Some bosses collect 1,110 times the average worker pay.
50 families have more wealth than bottom 50% of the population combined.
Super-rich buy political parties and lawmakers to advance their interests.

The bbc had an Iranian guy on their bulletin saying that he was grateful for what Donald Trump is doing 🌝
The people supporting the war on Iran are the same people who will complain about Iranian refugees in the future.
this is like
the thesis statement of our times
I finally figured it out: this Iran war feels like the kinds of wars I used to have in Civilization II after I saved the game and felt like seeing how big a mess I could make.

Two rogue states led by criminals are engaged in a war of aggression against Iran but also against Lebanon. And yet the tone and framing of most news coverage invites us to identify with the aggressors, even if we disagree with the particular action. It is always, tacitly, "us" against the other
Since October 7 and throughout the current war in Gaza, we have been witnessing profound shifts in Israeli politics in the way messianic ideas have entered the political discourse, and now even the strategic calculations surrounding war:
Today I want to talk about Jess’ Rule and Martha’s Rule, two new initiatives across NHS England that I think are really important and you should know about.
Tl;dr: if your symptoms are not improving or getting worse, at home or in hospital, you have the right and Drs the responsibility to review.
Saying 'bombing schools is wrong' should be the easiest thing to say in the world.
Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs
Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour was us asking nicely for your permission to improve matters somewhat, for everyone. I don’t know who the next guy will be but having seen how the lads dealt with us asking nice, we won’t ask so nicely, next time.
The government is asked if it will review trade ties with Israel, suspend the 2030 Roadmap on bilateral relations or impose targeted sanctions on Israel.
The Foreign Office ignores all of them.

Why, it’s almost like it might be in Iran’s direct interest to inflict damage so bad
and globally destructive, in such a critical area of the world, that America could not dream of ever attacking it again
GSK CEO got 50% pay rise to £15.6m.

Neoliberals moan about rise in minimum wage. Govts preach pay restraint to workers. Silence on profiteering, hikes in exec pay/perks, dividends, share buybacks.
The state devoted to welfare of the super rich.
Privatization picking our pockets.
Another Royal Mail price hike: Form 7 April 2026 1st class postage price £1.80, 2nd class 91p.
When privatized in 2013 by Tory/LibDem Govt: 1st class 60p; 2nd class 50p.
RM doesn't meet letter delivery targets. Fines passed to customers. Execs get bonuses.
