Brassed Off is currently showing on Film4.
Fortunately I have it at home and have watched it fairly recently.
So I won’t need to watch it tonight.
So I won’t feel the urge to go and punch a Tory.

Unsurprisingly, Elliott shows no self awareness. Not only does she try to deflect that Conservatives are entirely about division, (right vs. left, straight vs. gay, Christian vs. Atheist, White vs. anyone else) but she has the nerve to point out that after scratching Poilievre's back, she expects the same.
Findley is worse, but Elliott was clearly not fit to lead.

Findlay, like a coward, didn't talk up her anti-LGBTQ points from the debates in her speech. Guess she didn't want to go full Nazi so quick.

British Columbia is going to be a horrible place to be an LGBTQ+ child of religious or conservative parents should the Conservatives get even a whiff of power in government.

Not surprisingly, the only remotely decent human being in the running is eliminated first, and the two worst are first and second. The Conservative playbook.

There is no situation a Conservative can't make worse.

Good to see that central Tories are being so very Tory 😐
Worcestershire County Council agrees a Con-Lib-Green-Indy coalition (presumably to keep Reform out) and then apparently Badenoch is "aghast", tells them it isn't approved and suspends the local Tory leader 🙄

Only in Conservative politics is it expected to vote for the greater evil.

No matter who wins the BC Conservative Party's leadership, bigotry, discrimination, and anti-science bias towards ideology will be official policy.

How Can Reform Be Anti-Elites When It's Stuffed Full of Tories?
-
Watching a former cabinet minister, knight of the realm and, now apparently Reform party spokesman Sir Jake Berry on #Newsnight doing his damndest to spout Trump talking points and to not to criticise him under any circumstances. Not dignified, I thought…. And then remembered that whole generation of Tories did the same routine defending Johnson’s lies too. Fuck the lot of them.

While I'm no fan of unions (and I'm in one!), this is a very big example of why the notwithstanding clause is the worst piece of legislation ever introduced into any country's foundational document. And between this, and its use in trampling the rights of transgender people, this is just the tip of the iceberg.

From the article: "Rustad insists the party has one direction and one direction only, and that’s bringing down Eby’s NDP. "
Maybe if they actually had good policies they wouldn't be leaking members and sliding deeper into the opposition.
A fractured right is always a good thing for the electorate.

Typical Conservative paranoid authoritarianism and compulsive need for control on full display. It's frightening to think how close they came to being the government in this province.

It's disgusting and disturbing that British Columbia has a political party made up of "people" who were considered too bigoted for the Conservatives, but at least their proposed legislation is going straight to the garbage bin where it belongs.

He's staying quiet because he knows that being anti-science and pro-disease while his party is in opposition will ensure they stay in opposition.

Poillievre is a joke. The things he says are a bigger joke.
This is Christian Nationalist intent on full display.

It's the 21st century conservative playbook. If you don't win, claim election fraud. If you can't win, commit election fraud.

@cbcnews @british-columbia-cbcnews
So, how do you pronounce "MBCGA"? Because this whole stunt by OneBC reeks of the unsubstantial sloganeering meant to dog whistle to their base of simpletons who couldn't have an analytical thought if their lives depended on it. But, we know OneBC is against freedom of expression, at least.
The only use OneBC will be to provincial politics will be to keep the BC Conservatives out of power.

The Tories Fuck The Tories

If you ever needed to know that #Labour are just as evil as the #Tories here's why, and here's why they're still attacking the disabled, the vulnerable and the poor.
It's because they not happy being slaves to their corporate masters.
So this is what's currently happening to a friend of mine.
He's got a letter from the DWP, telling him that his ESA will end in the middle of July and he needs to apply for Universal credit.
He starts panicking, he doesn't know what to do.
After a few weeks of ignoring it, he finally gets up the courage to ask me for help. He doesn't have any family he can turn too for help as they all... to put it bluntly, thick as pig shit and treat him (the most intelligent person in his entire extended family) as some kind of leper, because he's capable of actual independent thought and doesn't believe every he reads on facebook.
So I look into it.
He's on ESA, in the support group, gets PIP and the disability premium on his ESA. The ESA, with the disability premium is worth about £480 every two weeks.
Universal credit is about £383 every two weeks.
However, they top up the UC so that he will still get that same £480 every two weeks... and he can still ask for his money to be paid bi weekly instead of monthly as they want it... All good you might think, he's not going to lose a penny at all... and he's not.
This year.... but every year afterwards will see him fall further into poverty.
Here's why.
That top up to keep his benefit the same as now, is because they've abolished the disability premium... which is awarded to people who live alone and have no carer. The people who need that extra money the most... fuck em, let em suffer is still the attitude of govt.
So what that means... is that as the UC is increased each year... that top up, gets reduced by the same amount.
So that £480 he gets every two weeks.. stays at £480 until the UC of £383 reaches the same £480.
To put that in perspective... the avg increase in UC is about £3 or 4, every two weeks.... PER YEAR!!! £97 difference, divided by £3 would be 32 years, divided by £4 would be 24 years.
Imagine never getting a penny extra for 24yrs when you are a disabled person, unable to work, approaching 60yrs old who last had a job nearly 15yrs ago and was fired because of his health... and who had to wait a further 7 years before they actually awarded him disability.
He lived in extreme poverty for years, not able to heat his home, buy clothes or feed himself properly.
It's a fucking disgrace, I am outraged about this. Further proof that the labour scum bags are fucking over the poor, the disabled and anyone who isn't some wage slave to a corporate overlord who pays them shit wages, hoards all of the profits and doesn't pay as much money as the minimum wage staff they treat as disposable slaves.
So now I have to help him sort out this UC application... thankfully it doesn't affect his PIP and that will still go up each year... by an avg of about £2 every 2 weeks.
All his bills still rise, cost of energy goes up all the time, his council tax goes up every year. He's got 10yrs left before he can get his state pension., which at least is about £50 more every two weeks... and I think I can save him some money on his council tax as he's only getting the 25% single/disabled discount, and I think he's entitled to the full CT benefit. That could cut his CT bill by another £50 a month.
But... fuck them all.

I just realised I've been complaining about right-wing Labour Party leaders since Kinnock, FORTY FUCKING YEARS AGO.
It's 2025. I am old.
But I'm not too old to keep shouting. RED TILL I'M DEAD.
