  1. CW: UK Politics

    It's bonkers that being an obvious racist doesn't breach any Parliamentary rules, but calling someone a racist after they have shown themselves to be an obvious racist does breach the rules.

    But chapeau to Dawn Butler for the way she withdrew the remark:

    "so I will withdraw the fact that I am referring to the Member of Parliament as a racist because of her racist comments"

  2. "Gambler A...(designed a High St with) a gym, a library, a newsagent and a launderette. Where’s the betting shop, I asked him, and he was unequivocal. Gambling has ruined my life, he said. It is an addiction just like alcohol and drugs. He moved me to tears." #DawnButler

  3. Love that ... "imperfect allies aren't enemies"

    Particularly after seeing militants/purists having a go at #DawnButler for getting some things wrong in attempting to defend #transRights & show-up a Tory MP for not even having thought through the ramifications of the recent supreme court judgement. She didn't use the right language & yes, you can argue that her line of reasoning is not right. But it's a way of getting the point over to other audiences.

  4. Kemi Badenoch IS a White Nationalist, Dawn Butler is right

    Yes, people can sell their own out for the Coin, look at Wes Streeting, Minorities can be selfish nazi cunts too.

  5. Starmer's already telling off his Black MPs.....

    This is the man who sat for two hours with Donald Trump and called it "constructive"

    This man keeps telling us his own views on Racial Hierarchies, the Whiter a minority behaves, the better they are. He'll be going to his Black MPs "why can't you fit in more like Kemi does, marry a white person, do White people things, why can't you be 'normal' " he'll go....

  8. The #DawnButler so-called controversy shows how much still to learn society has around EDI. We live in a profoundly unequal world in which calling out to celebrate the progress towards equality of historically oppressed groups is a good thing. Those of us (like me) from historically dominant groups need to step back. I wonder if it’s helpful to draw analogy with class: it is worth celebrating working class MPs but not middle or upper class MPs

    #DawnButlerIsRIGHT : 'The prime minister has lied in this house' 'Somebody needs to tell the truth in this House'

    Our parliament is not fit for purpose
