Weβve had the rule for how ever many years but I still click and watch the video every single time. Some days it can end up in my feed half a dozen times and I will still watch every time. It never gets old. I love it every single time I watch it

The James Timpson appointment really shows Starmer's political acumen. He's had the keys to Number 10 for less than 24 hours and boom - he's scored a free spare set.

And it's lamentable that NONE of the political class waffle merchants interviewed on the BBC last night about the Reform vote, even on the Labour side, had the wherewithal to say, "This is the lesson for the Tories here: that their culture war shite just funnelled their own voters to the far right."

Yeah, I know, and Cass got a peerage. It's not all good. But Badenoch's majority was massively reduced - down from 28K to 2.6K - and Duffield got the "fuck tories" vote rather than the "love Duffield" vote.

Genital-obsessed weirdos in "insignificant and unpopular" shocker. Which makes it all the more pathetic that Labour, and Starmer specifically, courted their vote.

For all Iβm not expecting anything good from the new govt, thereβs a wee crumb of positivity here: until today my teen and tween had never woken up in a UK that didnβt have a Tory government. So I can be cheerful about that until someone gives Starmer a mic and the shitshow resumes.

I've never gone into a general election with such a sense of despair. It's quite something to have a ballot paper where five of the seven candidates are from parties who are a clear danger to your rights, your healthcare and your safety.

Itβs been consistently true over the last fifteen years that people, relatively calmly, sounding the alarm about an incoming political or social catastrophe have been quite rudely dismissed by what you could call the Sensible Liberal Class and then immediately proven right. Few learn a lesson.

On this day in 1981 the first mainstream media report of what would come to be known as AIDS was published on page 20 of the New York Times. The epidemic has now taken the lives of 700,000 Americans out of an estimated 40 million AIDS deaths globally. And it is not over yet.

It bears repeating that part of the reason the major parties love to do transphobia because they are bigots, yes, but also because it allows them to pretend they are doing something for women and thereby get out of doing anything real or meaningful.
