I wonder if @scotnational.bsky.social will have a columnist write a column about how the Scottish branch of Your Party spent today blocking trans folk and allies.

"Building a platform for the left in Scotland" my hairy arse cheeks.

"Have you considered waiting for the conference in November before accusing Your Party of being transphobic? Because we're having a vote on whether to support trans then. Me, I don't have a problem with them. I was actually in the same room as Jeremy when he said he wasn't bothered about it either."

A famous meme showing a man talking into the ear of an extremely bored woman at a nightclub as her eyes glaze.

My friend, you absolutely nailed the use of this meme.

Seems an unnecessary wait, given the company has several transphobic directors.

Thanks, but that'd be easier to believe if they had a constitution and history of that being the case.

A councillor in Govan has more in common with a transphobic landlord in Blackburn, than somebody using a screenreader in Stirling.

Each SGP councillor who just jumped to a different party signed an agreement to stand down and allow a by-election if they left the party.

Just so everyone's aware of the note they begin their time in a flailing party on.

GOOD NEWS! A groundbreaking study of MORE THAN 1,000 people reveals that cancer patients who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine within 100 days of starting immunotherapy lived dramatically longer than those who didn’t. In some cases, their survival rate was DOUBLED.

Whatever happens in Palestine, we have to keep fighting for an end to apartheid. A settlement was annexed? That is not permanent. We will have a free Palestine.

Did an end to apartheid in South Africa seem impossible? It ended too.

In our lifetimes or not we have to keep moving toward it.

Only under a Government that is unwilling to stand up to xenophobia is it possible to end up with the "mainstream" opposition planning what amounts to a deportation-driven ethnic cleansing of 5% of the country's population

Sunder Katwala (sundersays) @sundersays.bsky.social · 3d

Lam believes her policy would deport all of the proportion in pink - keeping the thin group in black - of the post-2021 legal migrant arrivals. (The draft legislation proposes similar thresholds/rules for all past grants too). She says jar is 3.5m people: an astonishing scale of mass deportations

Bonkers. The implication would be that it's also illegal to pour coffee down your kitchen drain. We have combined sewerage system so road runoff goes to the same treatment plant.

Glad the story has embarassed the council into rescinding.
