Genuinely why is the BBC running push alerts every single time an asylum seeker does anything bad?

They do not do this every time a white man assaults someone or murders someone. It is an endless scaremongering tactic completely unbefitting a national broadcaster.

Brianna didn't die because of her self-harm or social media use. She was murdered in a transphobic hate crime.

Here is the interview I gave to Owen Jones at the time, as the only trans journalist reporting on the trial of her murderers.

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.

Brianna keeps getting written about, even if not especially her own mother, like she tragically killed herself rather than was murdered in a transphobic hate crime

Most of us have pathologically useless parents who don't care to learn about protecting us properly, but this dogshit really takes the cake.

This is going from very funny to just right out sad really quickly: I just learnt that Your Party in Wales is controlled by someone who is married to the co-founder of the transphobic campaigning group Womens Place UK.

You do not need to sell your soul for that. Ever.

What's wrong princess, you're joining a more socially right wing party run by landlords because the Glasgow Greens greens aren't left wing enough?

Lol sure! Make sense to me 👍

I get that they will have their reasons, but it’s so frustrating to be a member of the public on the left who wants to beat Reform. We have to watch from the sidelines as people flip between parties instead of uniting.

Where there is an option to vote for neither Labour nor Reform, people take it. But the Starmer bots insist those are the only options

I'll slag Labour off for being transphobic cunts who ape Reform at every opportunity whether that makes you comfortable or not.

Infographic showing the dangers of loud fireworks with heads of a squirrel, cat, dog, horse and soldier in the foreground. Fireworks explode like magnified gunfire in the exquisitely sensitive ears of all creatures. Bees become so disoriented they don't go back to their hives Birds have panic attacks at night, causing mass deaths Wild animals raising babies abandon their dens in fear Fish & other animals perish after ingesting firework debris Companion animals have anxiety& panic attacks Humans have PTSD #SilentFireworks

If Labour is continuing to lose votes, just got 11% in a by-election in a seat they've held for 100 years and in a few recent polls is equal to or just behind the Greens maybe we should stop suggesting they're the only thing that can defeat Reform.

Reform didn't win the by-election in Caerphilly. LAB suffered a historic loss. Plaid Cymru won.

A good example why it's possible for other parties to win too if people vote in sufficient numbers for them. It isn't true that it has to be 'Vote LAB to keep the Tories/Reform out' on a national level.

😬 They always said they’d leave together. Is it too hopeful to hope for a small but necessary change to the judging panel too?
