So Denmarks envied experiment of harsh immigration rules and social democratic policy has failed. The party lost its core voters to more left wing parties and the rest now wants an even harsher policy and moves to the right. Who would have known? https://t.co/yvthowkeMw

I choose to spend my entire Mobility PIP entitlement on leasing a car that I’m able to safely drive. I also had to pay a not insignificant upfront payment towards it. I get that PIP because I can’t walk and live in constant pain. Trust me, you don’t want it.

FIFA designating Egypt v Iran as the gay pride game
NEW: The #FIFAWorldCup match in Seattle on June 26 had already been designated as a “Pride Match” before the fixtures were decided. Now we know the teams who will play in it… Egypt and Iran. Both nations have draconian anti-gay laws. For @outsports

My hope is that these psychotic displays of genocidal intent become very, *very* ironic in the not too distant future.
Members of the Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) party on the Knesset National Security Committee wore noose-shaped pins during a discussion on a bill to execute Palestinian detainees. Israel’s extremist National Security Minister, Itamar Ben Gvir, said during the session: “We all

@flying_rodent Even with years of experience and a certain amount of close-watching it still amazes me that people can spend years doing The Left Supports Terrorists And Jihadis and then flip right over to Glory To The Jihadis the moment they feel like it

The only person I’ve seen saying this today, presumably because other people are aware stuff like this might just get them put on the Prevent watch list

Bogus £70,000 figure derived from "research" by a dodgy thinktank gets splashed all over the front pages of the right wing papers, and then gets talked about as fact on breakfast television. This is the Human Centipede of British media, and you're the one being fed shit.
Madeley: "What about this figure.. it's generally accepted that a working couple with 3 children would have to earn a min of £71,000 to be at the same level of income as parents just like them with 3 children who are on benefits" "Just like them" This is simply not true #GMB

This is what flood control looks like when you have government officials and contractors who do not steal your money.

Apart from anything else, it's infuriating to see this professional fraudster sit there passing judgement on people he simply presumes are blagging it.
“I doubt they should be off work” Work and Pensions Secretary Pat McFadden responds to the rise in young people who are economically inactive due to mental health and says the response should not be “benefits, where you're written off" #BBCLauraK

Johnson gets paid £1 million a year to write this piss.

Absolutely fucking batshit that someone who unironically uses the pejorative "the lanyard class" was in charge of a body tasked with protecting equality and human rights.
EXCLUSIVE: Labour has “abandoned” women over issues such as trans rights and grooming gangs and can no longer call itself the party of equality and feminism, the former head of the human rights watchdog has said. Baroness Falkner of Margravine, whose term as the head of the

Can we think of reasons why Boris Johnson in particular might have cause to believe that people could be grasping selfish bastards who are only ever out to grab as much as they can for themselves at other people’s expense, by legal means or otherwise.

In October, Tory shadow minister Helen Whately claimed millions of people with mental health issues receive a car through the Motability scheme As it turns out, her statement was not a factual inaccuracy, but a work of political fiction. #bbcbreakfast #r4today #bbclaurak #bbcqt

It ought to be an international scandal that the United States has sanctioned the UN special rapporteur, stripped her of bank accounts. Same with ICC. In order to defend Israeli atrocities in Gaza the US (aided by Britain) is trashing all legal and moral international norms.
I stand with Francesca Albanese. No one should be punished for reporting the truth. Silencing her doesn’t change the reality; it only exposes the pressure to hide it.

"After removing restrictions on weapons exports.. Germanys signed the largest weapons export deal in Israels history" The point of the 'ceasefire'. Not to stop genocide but to allow countries to more easily resist calls to put pressure on Israel & reverse actions already taken
