My Crab Museum calendar has arrived and, as if this is not exciting enough in itself, they’ve scheduled the abolition of the monarchy for my birthday! Excellent work! 🦀🏛️👑❌😁
A calendar with the text ‘The UK abolishes the monarchy’ preprinted on the 29th of ‘Clawgust’.

The absolute brass neck of Labour cabinet ministers on the media round saying that they’re not breaching a manifesto promise when it is right there in the manifesto.
Page from the Labour Party manifesto from 2024. The following text is highlighted: “…introducing basic rights from day one to parental leave, sick pay, and protection from unfair dismissal.”

I see the response to the budget has been so dire that they've had to get the emergency cunting out.

The opening paragraph is wild. Aside from the fact that all people should just be able to use spaces appropriate to their gender, how lacking in thought do you have to be to present this as if only trans people will be challenged because...how could that even work??

Trans people could be asked about whether they should be accessing single-sex services based on their physical appearance or behaviour, new guidance seen by the BBC has said.

Just been to see a son et lumière installation (very good, pictures probably to follow). I think the bar next door is trying to get in in the act. It’s all very purple, anyway.
