Completely normal comments below this, of course.
We can’t just call out antisemitism (and other bigotries) when it’s politically convenient, we have to call it out in our allies too.

Just so we're clear, one incident of alleged anti-semitism by a musician = a major national scandal that should be roundly condemned.
Multiple incidents of alleged anti-semitism from the man leading the race to run the country = a load of nothing that should be completely ignored

what is a “girly shy smile”, exactly? The dad’s misogyny is showing.
You might think from the headline that this is a story about a trans kid suffering medical consequences from a large drug dose but nope! It is just an interview with an estranged father who is angry that his child happily transitioned.

A foreign army shows up to your village when you're a young adult or even straight up still a child and tells you they'll pay you to kill people for them or do really anything to help kill people for them. then they take you to their country after they lose but give you no job, house, or citizenship

Incredibly disappointed with Ed Davey right now. The party leader isn’t allowed to unilaterally reverse party policy on a whim, a mansion tax is Lib Dem policy.

They reached “voluntary agreement to begin discussions on a roadmap to an eventual phase-out” of fossil fuels.
COP is no longer fit for purpose, these days it is a tool used Saudi Arabia, Russia and the US to delay action by the willing majority.

when I hear Starmer speak about immigration and race he's spitting in the face of the Labour voters I knew growing up in Manchester, who put themselves on the line against the National Front - and often the police - in the 1970s and 1980s.
Ultimately the vision of britain that starmer has is profoundly cynical, nasty and just not true. He thinks that abidicating his responsibility in showing that another option is maturity and doing the difficult thing, but he's literally just creating the hateful country he is so afraid of
