Bloody hell -they're actively seeking out meetings with those who've accused universities of “poisoning the minds” of students, claiming they spread a “twisted interpretation of history.”
Surely they're clever enough to realise kissing far right arse will not stop the book burnings if they get in

It is good to see cross-party challenge to overt racism in British political and media discourse: Labour MP Sarah Owen, who chairs the women & equalities select committee, challenges the racist claim from GB News contributor Lucy White that Deputy Speaker Nus Ghani should be barred from parliament
I know who Nus Ghani MP is - not because we always agree - but because she’s been serving her constituency (as well as lewks) since 2015.
Who the hell is Lucy White?!
Ah, a quick google search reveals her as a rentagob for GB ‘news.’
I know which one is qualified to chair the budget debate.

Cheering the two child limit ending isn’t patting Starmer’s Labour on the back or ignoring his record. It’s acknowledging 8 years of hard campaigning and ridding the country of a cruel, toxic policy. Half a million children won’t be hungry anymore. Celebrate today. Tomorrow, pick the next fight.

<div class="field field-field-text"><p>Israeli forces on Thursday carried out raids and arrests in the cities of Qalqilya, Tubas and Tulkarm in the northern occupied West Bank, Palestinian media have reported. </p>
<p>The report said that Israeli soldiers raided a house in the Kafr Saba neighbourhood of Qalqilya, arrested a young man from his home in Tubas, and stormed the Dhannaba suburb east of Tulkarm.</p>
<p>Israeli forces have laid siege to the town of Tammun in the Tubas Governorate, located 13 kilometres northeast of Nablus in the West Bank, where at least 60 Palestinians have been arrested and dozens have been forcibly displaced from their homes. </p>
<p>The mayor Tammun said that the forces have displaced many families, turning their homes into military barracks and sealed the town. The Israeli army also cut off roads connecting the town with the rest of the West Bank, and severed electricity lines and drinking water pipes. </p>

Advocates claim that free-moving capital keeps governments disciplined and forces efficient allocation of resources. In reality, it undermines democratic decision-making by threatening elected governments with destabilisation if they pursue policies that speculative investors dislike.

As many of you know, I do a lot of volunteer work with asylum seekers and refugees. One thing that’s going on is that Labour’s hostility towards migrants and the counterbattery from Tories and Reform is causing horrific fear and anxiety among vulnerable people who deserve our protection.

A friend who teaches theology shared with me a post about CS Lewis's Mere Christianity, which discusses foundational Christian logic across denominations. It reminded me of Dale's tweet below, and I wanted to share some thoughts here regarding modesty and respectability, which are often hot topics.
