Labour continues to troll the trans community - and to prioritise pleasing the right wing press. We know Hilary Cass was selected for her transphobic views: Kemi Badenoch told us exactly that.

So why is she running trans policy for Labour?

Oh do fuck off. All these big business owners are pushing the right wing narrative, as they continue to avoid taxes and mistreat staff.

I'm sick of them all.

Says the gazillionaire who loves Britain so much he became tax resident in Monaco so he didn't have to contribute to Britain's resources. Physician, heal thyself.

Tomorrow's episode of Bold Politics is so so rare in British politics: real people who are unafraid to just be themselves for an hour because they know they don't have to protect any vested interests.

It's time for a clearout of robots in Westminster.

U.S. political system is CRAP🤮

British Prime Minister with No epstein links might be an indirect casualty of tRump files ...

while U.S. 'president', who's in files more than epstein, gets to Carry On as per Normal!

Sort out your feekless political system, U.S. - it Needs Major overhaul

But there won't be, because Republicans hate brown people and LGBTQ people more than they hate Pedophiles.

It's also their Evangelical Ideals - They want to be able to marry 13 year olds.

This myth making around Starmer "the decent man" has got to end! He knew exactly what he was doing appointing Mandelson and the line he was just badly advised isn't working we don't believe it!

I will always be sad that I departed from Monkey Cage but the relief I feel about being able to speak out about abusers and bigots without expecting a phone call upbraiding or questioning me is a relief - so much anxiety expelled
Starmer gets worse every day - this apology is no good at all - Mandelson took up Epstein’s hospitality while he was serving time for child trafficking - this was well known - see also Zak Polanski’s letter to Wes Streeting #epstein #starmer #mandelson #greenparty

Don't you know that opposing sexual abuse and paedophiles is now a lefty stance?

last dressing down I got from Monkey Cage execs on day I resigned was for a Bluesky comment on some of the sexual abusers who had been close to Prince Charles - Mountbatten, Van Der Post, Peter Ball - I didn’t do it to be sensational, I did it because it shows how abuse is just ignored by power
Looking at #epstein reports , thinking of the deference to power that allows all this and the people who have fought so hard for justice - here is a not nice #poem that erupted today

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

ANOTHER ANGLE. This man was NOT brandishing a firearm. He was holding his phone. He then put his body between ICE thugs and woman. He was then sprayed with a chemical agent, tackled, disarmed, and executed. Plain as day. DO NOT let them tell you otherwise.
