  1. NGL, I'm exhausted to see the return of this kind of gender essentialism in the UK, wrapped in the usual "I have been thinking the unthinkable in these days when the cancel culture is in overdrive." (Verbatim from your man here)

    Funny how much airtime there is for the stuff we're allegedly 'not allowed to say' these days.

  2. @ketan I remember when #TheTimes was a newspaper. Even earlier it was #TheLondonTimes and regarded seriously throughout the world.

  3. What is going on at the Times?

    They have a main headline attacking net zero over a photo of the French wildfires arguably caused by climate change?

    Are the editors stupid?

    Do they think their readers are?

    Are they trying to subvert their own message?

  5. #PippaCrerar of #TheGuardian confirms a report in #TheTimes that Keir #Starmer has met Andy #Burnham to plan the transfer of power. x.com/i/status/206942879764910

    No surprise. Despite personal bitterness, there is clear mutual interest.

    I'm interested in the talks that will remain unreported. The talks with whoever, where Burnham's ppl gave 100% assurance of solid support for Israel & continued persecution of anti-genociders.

    Without that, Burnham would have been destroyed months ago.

  7. “How ‘Anonymous Quotes’ Are Used by Political Journalists and Spin Doctors to Deceive the Public”

  8. More guns, less butter. 😡

    #TheTimes reports that #Starmer will add £18 billion to the military budget. archive.is/SiKxA

    Millions of ppl struggle to pay rent, fuel & food. Transport is crap. NHS waiting liats are huge. Labour is deeply unpopular. Starmer faces a serious leadership challenge and a crucial by election is on a knife edge. Bbut he wants to splash out on war toys.

    Is Starmer actively trying to drive the #LabourParty over the cliff? Has he ever seen this 1953 cartoon?

  9. US President Johnson said 1st rule of politics was learn how to count. Seems that #WesStreeting can't count. 😅

    #Streeting plotted for 6 months. But by Weds evening only ~40 of 300 #LabourParty backbenchers would commit. See #TheTimes archive.is/IarpF

    He might make the 81 from ministers, but that many resignations would be a huge crisis. So he bottled it.

    But he'd already burnt his bridges with #Starmer. Now his cred is blown, & his savage resignation letter has shocked.

  10. It appears that anti-Semitism is fine by the same right-wing press that hounded Corbyn as long as the target is the 'wrong kind of Jew' and he's a Green.

  11. A blatantly antisemitic caricature of #ZackPolanski in #TheTimes cartoon about the aftermath of the #GoldersGreen attacks.

    But it's England. So the Jewish guy who opposes genocide and queries police violence is:

    1/ depicted as a blatantly antisemitic stereotype;
    2/ falsely portrayed as the perpetrator of a violent kick, rather than the critic of violence;
    3/ denounced as an antisemite.
