This Andy Burnham? Nah, not for me. He was always the first choice of the extreme right of Labour. Soon as Starmer has made the party into a weak copy of the Lie Dems, they’ll move him in. #unelectable

The forever war we're meant to accept as normal is a major part of the climate emergency.
Someone should launch a party that focuses on environmental issues, climate change, and so on. It could be quite popular.

This moto-normative zealot @sergeantdixie has really thrown his toys out of the pram over not being allowed a "WHATABOUT" for drivers who kill, every day. Just stop killing.
Drivers kill, every day. Have you yet? You seem incredibly defensive about this. Just stop killing kids.

When you are on an NHS waiting list to get your cancer/heart/illness diagnosis, remember that billionaire JK Rowling has opened up a pot of money using her Harry Potter money to sue them. Oh and the pot is open to sue human rights organisations too.

The purpose of a system is what it does. The pretext for the UK’s new transphobic bathroom bill is ‘women’s safety’. That is not what it does. This is the actual, real-as-in-actually-happening-right-now impact of bathroom bills: >

Rod Liddle was nice. Keir Starmer was decent. Peter Mandelson was an unscrupulous operator Activists trying to stop a genocide are violent thugs. Pensioners protesting against the murder of children are terrorists. Striking nurses are holding the country to ransom Get it yet?

Under a Binface government, anyone who doesn’t accept human-made climate change as fact will be sent back to school, from Year 1 right the way to A Levels, to see if anything goes in the second time round. #VoteBinface
