  1. #IRGC.

    One of the dying acts of the UK's hated #Starmer regime was to ban Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). It was unclear whether a state entity could be banned, but in April the National Security (State Threats) Act removed doubt.

    This will also allow a UK ban on the so-called Israel Defense Forces (#IDF). Starmer and Burnham will not ban the IDF. But now a future #UKgov has the power to do so.

    The UK's v powerful #Israel lobby may bitterly regret this short-term win.

  3. On balance I think I'm quite happy for British terrestrial TV channels having prominent placing on my PeerTube instance so long as they pay the appropriate fees.

    These are currently just £3,000,000 per annum and are extremely good value for money, plus you get a free hat, a mixtape and some pictures of George. Win!

  8. As Britain bakes, ministers quietly park plans for solar carports

    "Despite those potential benefits, ministers concluded in a single-sentence update on the consultation page that the proposal “will not be taken any further at this point“. The decision was so understated, it attracted little attention [...] the day before Britain entered a record-breaking May heatwave."

  10. #UKgov's Conversion practices draft bill gov.uk/government/publications stinks.

    For at least a century, #LGBT people have endured conversion practices by medics. Psychiatric powers have been routinely abused, unwanted surgeries have been imposed, and wanted treatments withheld. Many trans people have been persecuted by medics.

    This is v simple. NOBODY in any situation should try to alter the gender identity or sexual orientation of another person. No exceptions.

    Reject the bill!

  12. In 2002, #JamesPurnell was a newbie MP, office-sharing with newbie #AndyBurnham.

    James was chair of #LabourFriendsOfIsrael. #LFI took him to #Israel, as he wrote in #TheGuardian.archive.is/XP2g5 / theguardian.com/politics/2002/

    Usual #Israeli #hasbara via LFI. Purnell was on script.

    Read it. No hint of a #Palestinian voice. James heard only Israel. 🤮

    Now in 2026, #Purnell will be Chief-of-staff to Prime Minister #Burnham.

    #Genocide in #Gaza. #Andy's #zionist at the core of #UKgov. 😡

  22. The absolute state of this. 😡😡

    "NHS staff should be banned from wearing pro-Palestinian badges", recommends a report by the #UKgov's antisemitism extremist, Lord Mann.

    A Jewish A&E doctor in England told the BBC she had "felt uncomfortable" seeing colleagues wearing pro-Palestinian badges. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn0plk

    Because god forbid that a racist might knowingly encounter a supporter of the people who are being ethnically cleansed & genocided by her co-religionists. 😡 😡

  24. "We are deeply concerned about the potentially devastating repercussions of this proposal on #trans patients’ access to #healthcare, the ability of trans healthcare staff to conduct their everyday duties, and the #NHS’s ability to protect the rights and dignity of their trans patients and staff", say the #BritishMedicalAssociation #BMA.

    But Kaz on Facebook read in #DailyMail that it's all "gender ideology", and intersex doesn't exist. So #UKgov is backing Kaz.

  27. 1918: Ireland elects a majority of Sinn Féin MPs, 73/105, pledged to set up an independent parliament. Westminster ignores Dáil Éireann, then bans it.

    2026: #Scotland elects yet another majority of pro-indy MSPs, who vote by 72—55 for a 2nd #indyref. Just as they promised. Within hours, an anonymous Downing Street spokesman says "no". A faceless no.

    After 108 years, #UKgov still doesn't get this democracy thing.

    Can anyone go to London SW1 with a large #cluebat?

  29. This #RejoinEU petition now has almost 97,000 signatures, very close to the trigger for a #UKParl debate. With (slightly) more positive noises from #UKGov recently, this is hopefully worth signing, to show the continuing growing recognition that #BrexitBreaksBritain and that we want to fix it! Please sign (and share/repost the details)!
