The one positive is that the whole exercise is siphoning the left's worst vibes straight into oblivion, while the rest of us get on with more constructive pursuits.
Your Party vibes have been extremely bad from the very start

For the many (arseholes), not the few (trans people)
I hear the YP conference convener just called out someone using 'transphobic' and said they want to keep things respectful
There it is, lads.
There's your party.

Today could be a really good day to buy a copy of Birding from an independent bookshop, or perhaps even its poor neglected older sibling This Is Yesterday
Black Friday reminder: You can support independent bookstores and get great deals without lining the pockets of billionaires 😌

Talking to some other volunteers at the food bank, women in their 70s, and the subject of JKR came up and I was heartened by the strength of feeling. "That vile fucking woman" was one description.

I suspect Starmer's epiphany at the existence of gay bashing is part of the Polanski Panic. Can't wait to see how else he's going to try and win back the queer vote before May...

Taxes are pretty much the only thing related to personal/family finance they do this little "what if that made someone's life difficult" dance for.
Benefits cut to the bone? Not interested
Wages eroded by inflation for decades and decades? Nope.
Technology abolished your job? Nope.

This house tax pretending is making me more insane than usual because as a renter I’ve had to move every 1-3 years just as standard because rents always rise. And no one cares. House owners get a tiny fraction of that precarity and suddenly it’s the worst thing that’s ever happened

This is also what happens when the scapegoating of benefit recipients and poor people by every single government for 50 years has become a national hegemony. Reeves and Starmer used the rhetoric themselves & now the press have turned it back on them to twist the ratchet another notch. And so it goes
It is IMO not possible to operate any kind of meaningful democracy when your national press is a joke and a travesty, but your mileage on that may vary. I think it’s incontestable that it is impossible to govern well and effectively, while being in hock to these pantomime clowns.

Quick question for Kier, why do you think Labour politicians have been banned from Pride events?

I consider myself lucky at my age that I've only been gay bashed twice tbh, still have the scar on my forehead from one. The idea it has ever been behind us is such a privileged, ignorant, irresponsible thing to say.

I think people need to stop holding walking away from something quietly when you’ve been wronged to a higher standard than confronting someone who has wronged you, there’s this very old fashioned way of thinking that you should not show upset or emotion, it’s actually very British, and it sucks
