Pretty sure were the 600,000 people Farage said he'd deport. :-(
Just being me, as that's the only way to be. Left because I believe in kindness and decency. Will never, ever support Labour again after the horror they've unleashed. They're an evil, far-right party.

Would have been nice if The Guardian had done this when they were doing the same for trans people, but The Guardian is institutionally transphobic.
Third spaces would be invaded and smashed up pretty quickly with the amount of hate stirred up. And they'd state that they are "gender neutral" so they can allow TERFs to do genital inspections regardless. Not allowed in theirs, but they can chase us into "ours" without fear of pushback.
Lol. No. It's going to end with someone dead, and Farage will get there first and condemn it, hypocritically, and Starmer will take two days focus-grouping a response which will be, "In some instances, murder can be bad, but I don't think we should stop people being patriotic due to one lone wolf."
Who would have thought that a PM comfortable with aiding genocide in Palestine and covering up the suicides of trans children due to his government's policies would also be comfortable letting violent mobs enact pogroms on the streets of the UK because "flags"? Totes surprise. /s
The insane thing is, he only needs to say that last part. That these racist shitmonger nazis are stealing our national flag to rebrand it as a symbol of hate, and their threatening lager-lout behaviour needs to be stopped. Instead, he's all, "I'm comfortable with communities being terrorised."
They are equally terrifying. The real madness is a moderate Tory Party with some socially liberal, good-time, let's detoxify the party and the nation policies would probably be far, far out in front, right now. Cameron in his pomp would mop the floor with our current collection of flag shaggers.
In 2020, when Liz Truss floated the idea of a bathroom ban during lockdown (the one time it would be even less believably necessary, as everyone was stuck at home), and the LGBTQ+ Advisory Panel disbanded, Jayne Ozanne stated that Truss and Badenoch were only listening to the "evangelicals".
The News Agents got exactly the type of government they've been asking for and kind of hate it. This is where platforming the likes of Rupert Lowe gets you, News Agents.
Truly, he is an expert on "respect and dignity".
Ah, the battle of Briefcase Wankers vs. Racist Wankers: one drips only tears at their failing to sufficiently get off on the hate, whilst the other lot spew forth anti-life into all our faces. Masturbatory political bullshit of the highest order.
It's disgusting. This Labour Party is an enemy of human rights.
I don't think you are racist or transphobic. I think you're hopelessly naive. I've never been more disappointed or heartbroken. I thought you might be a ray of hope for us. Instead, you're leaving us with even fewer places to run to for safety. Shame on you.
You have Adnan Hussein using racism as a shield because people called out his transphobia, despite no racism taking place, so it's clear that you aren't serious about racism as a party, and Your Party is platforming transphobia. You're literally creating a space for far-right views, Jeremy.
The real threat to women’s safety has always been, and continues to be, male violence. Shifting the blame onto trans people doesn’t make us safer — it makes us more divided, and it leaves the real issues unaddressed.
Don't go to America. They're snatching people off the streets. But, yes, leave the UK if you can.
They want to eradicate trans people and asylum seekers and migrants to satisfy a tiny minority of rampaging, increasingly bloodthirsty, criminal mobs because they're white, and Starmer is, first and foremost, a right-wing reactionary racist transphobe.
What you're suggesting to us, in the trans community, is basically the difference between a genocide with kindly words by people in power who swore they'd do the opposite and an honest genocide at the hands of racists who aren't in power and have been honest.
And yet you'd put our existence ahead of a single socially conservative, anti-abortion transphobe and ask us to trust you whilst doing that? That's real, "Go back to your abusive spouse" energy. Put your money where your mouth is, and then maybe we'll support you. Don't ask us to whilst kicking us.
See how easily that same argument can be used to undermine the existence of Your Party? The simple fact is that you are not doing that right now, Your Party are doing the exact opposite. We've been sold out dozens of times, now. Lied to. Threatened. Abused. Driven to suicide. Murdered.
You make impossible demands on Labour. They have members and a constitution that makes it clear they aren't genocidal. It's understood by Labour supporters and anti-Zionist campaigners that they are against genocide. Hundreds of thousands want to put that into practice. You should join them.
Fuck off with your "real world" condescension. It isn't reality. It's a game being played for the benefit of the press and Lib Dem FC fans online, and absolutely no-one else.
I said. I object to conservatives. To the right-wing. As anyone who is left-wing would. I don't care that Adnan Hussein is a Muslim. I care that he's a reactionary right-wing bigot transphobe who wants to force women to give birth, and he and his ilk can fuck off.
Who said anything about religious or ethnic groups? They're conservatives. Conservatives are reactionary and awful. We've had 15 years pandering to those fuckers and look at where that has got us! We should start by rallying like-minded people and building up a gravity that sucks others in!
Because governments never release legal advice! It's a stupid dance that is done because they treat politics as a game. I despise Labour with every fibre of my being and beg all the deities of the stars to open up a firey sinkhole to suck them into - but this is designed to score points, not help.
Transphobia and being anti-abortion and also being a conservative. Honestly, I only left Cairo because I wanted to transition. My life there for three years was a billion times better than this spoiled nation of lapsed Christian dickhead right-wingers. People there were kind.
Ffs. When do governments ever release the legal advice? This is performative nonsense at best.
The master race
The far-right used transphobia to make racism acceptable again. Now, emboldened, they're starting to go after everyone else. The one crisis in this country - the political crisis - has caused this.
I've just realised, after a decade, that Kazuhira Miller in MGSV, was probably working with Cypher to capture parasites, and they would eradicate everything but the English language as a way of bringing the world together through language control, as a means of realising The Boss's legacy.
Of course he isn't personally transphobic. But he was fine with Rosie Duffield being in his party, and he's fine with Adnan Hussein being in his party. He thinks it's fine to disagree on trans rights. Unlike, say, Gaza, or homelessness.
You'd hope they'd realise that. But their actions so far suggest that he thinks we can simply wait and aren't that important.
Nigel Farage wants to unban Handguns, which were banned after the Dunblane School Shooting. How do you feel about that, do you think we need School Shootings? Do they need bringing back?
A new report from TransActual demonstrates not only the emotional toll, but the degree to which trans people are having to reshape and limit their lives to avoid the new dangers posed to us in the UK. Read the report at: tinyurl.com/community-li... #Trans #EqualityAct #EHRC #TransRights
My new article. northwestbylines.co.uk/lifestyle/hu...
There is no possibility of a ban. The government's anti-trans stance made that clear. And it's a really short leap from doing conversion therapy for gender-identity to doing conversion therapy for failing to fulfil a gender role - on that would be defensible in law based on anti-trans paranoia.
That's what I'm hoping. Absolutely. But that isn't guaranteed or the reality, right now. Until that changes, I'm not interested in the party because, at best, they're ignoring our human rights being stripped away. Well, except for Zarah.
This should have been a Wii Sport
I agree. But given the Gaza independents don't seem much interested in women's rights, I'm worried they're going to undermine a woman as outspoken as Zarah. Honestly, as I said before, how leftist is the party if it has conservatives in the mix?
I don't think you could make Blazing Saddles at any point in the last twenty years, especially if you removed the jokes and gave Leonardo DiCaprio funny teeth.
I would love to see Cliff explain the history of the One Ring he's invented in his head.
Not "activists"?
Sorry! I clicked through and your comment at the top didn't appear immediately.
What? This guy is a dick. Your rules don't count.
I didn't imagine having to speak out about Your Party being openly transphobic and @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social making the same mistake he made with Labour. But if he leaves a disruptive right-wing element, like Adnan Hussein, in the party, how is this better than Labour? @zarahsultana.bsky.social?
As in, a sentence or a statement supporting trans rights and committing to that. We all know that the mass murder in Gaza is more pressing, right now, on a visceral level. But it isn't justification for ignoring another cleansing going on within the UK, even if it is slower and more invisible.
These steps are colloquially known as genocide. Legal and physical erasure. Trans people are already dying and more will die. And yet he can't even offer us a commitment to supporting our rights. That's all we want. Nothing more.
Next March or April, there will be a report on access to adult trans healthcare that was brought about by Cass overstepping her remit that will either erect more guardrails or abolish adult trans healthcare, more than likely. That will be used to reduce the number of us even further.
Because they are trying to erase trans people from the UK. They've stopped kids from transitioning and are forcing them into conversion therapy in the hope they'll detransition. They're erasing trans identities in the law as we speak.
Not to mention that it undermines Corbyn's arguments on Gaza - he wants one group of people protected from the right-wing but another group, who are literally citizens of the country he presumably wants to lead, can wait patiently or be sacrificed.
Not only that, but saying that any human rights are negotiable when the right is LITERALLY trying to force a debate on membership of the ECHR is supporting their position. It will be clipped up, thrown in their faces, and will damage any chances they have by building momentum for Reform.
Not only that, but many of the voters they want to appeal to are those already setting off to the Greens or quitting Labour. They're left-wing, young, women, many will be LGBTQ+, have a strong sense of injustice. The idea they're pulling TERFs away from Labour, the Tories or Reform is insane.
Because, one day, the economy will turn, and what happened in Palestine will be an ugly memory, and they will need positions on things like this to be a real electoral force. And if they're indistinguishable from the right, why would anyone be convinced by that?
And if they're already folding to a conservative in a senior position in the party, will they eventually do the same on, say, abortion rights, which Hussein also opposes? Without clear, strong commitments now, this only sets up fights later when Palestine isn't as salient an issue.
I mean, wtaf is wrong with you that you're willing to support a party breaking away from Labour but who are immediately fine with one of their MPs falling in complete lockstep with Keir Starmer and the Labour Party? It completely undermines the point of Your Party: opposition to Labour betrayals.
That being that we need legal respect for who we are, no segregation, bodily autonomy and access to timely medical treatment to live full and complete lives, and the state denied us all of these to various degrees, now, and Adnan Hussein agrees with making our lives unliveable. As do you.
That suggests to me that this vehicle may also be as tetchy, controlling and terrified of being challenged as Labour is, and that the whole party-democracy thing may not be as democratic as Corbyn is making out. It seems we'll have a voice only when he lets us.
A friend went to one of the events today, and said they were clearly stage managed so only supportive activists and local councillors got to ask questions, a bit like how half the Labour questions at PMQs are planted by Starmer's whips.
Also, Sultana came out defending trans rights straight after Hussein started demanding segregation for trans people. And Corbyn has said nothing but hugged him closely at events today. Incidentally...
Adnan Hussein has already gone on record saying that he sees the party as a vehicle for conservative Muslim values, and if it becomes that then he will kill the party stone dead. So taking all that together, I assume Corbyn is the one tolerating bigotry for the greater good, and Sultana isn't.
No idea how true that last one is: I suspect he asked politely for her to take into account others, and the press lied about how mad he was. But Corbyn let the Labour right stay in Labour and sabotage him, and I suspect something similar may be afoot with the Gaza independents in the future.
This all points to Corbyn simply wanting everyone to get along and for there not to be any arguments, and Sultana being someone who knows that it's vital to take action and set out a position. Also, it was reported several times that Corbyn is wound up by her doing this.
Even how they both left Labour paints a clear picture: Corbyn, a decent guy, let them abuse him repeatedly; Sultana got suspended, waited to see if they'd change their mind, and then she scorched the Earth.
Sultana isn't afraid to speak her mind, whereas Corbyn has a history of dithering and the narrative getting away from him. Corbyn wants everyone to come together, but Sultana has made clear in the past that she understands that isn't possible.
Corbyn has skipped votes on support for the trans community numerous times in the last few years. Corbyn is much more focused on Gaza rather than any of the many other crises we're facing. Sultana has been meeting with people like Zack Polanski, who is very pro-trans.
Corbyn formed a pact to work together with the independents after the election, but Sultana didn't join with them until later on. Sultana has made sympathetic statements and Corbyn hasn't. Corbyn dithered on the party launching until Sultana forced his hand.
Just wait for Clonald Trump. You know that fucker is planning it. "Of course I can run again, clones that have an AI simulation of my brain count as entirely different person." Then the right get furious when clone AI-brained Trump starts by saying, "Oh god, this is all horrible! Kill yourselves."
You have to wonder if it's an STD he got wanking off Putin.
We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.
In summary, the average child sexual predator’s profile is: married, male, white, heterosexual, religious, surrounded by friends and family, and a parent.
Sultana has said several times that she will support trans rights and I expect her to be frozen out by the misogynist, transphobic, homophobic, conservative element in this party. But it isn't her choosing this direction, it seems like Corbyn is choosing this direction.
He's a proud and vocal conservative, too. How they have the cheek to call the party "left-wing" is beyond me.
The previous Lord Brocket was a Nazi sympathiser and a Tory. They've merged the two of late to make sentences in Wikipedia entries shorter.
We've seen similar sex crime charges against a Labour MP, MSP, advisor and counsellor over the last 18 months, too. Our politics is an absolutely criminal cesspit right now. Certainly, The Guardian won't criticise too hard: they protected Nick Cohen for a while, too.
It's funny how the right scream about protecting women and girls from trans people and asylum seekers, but never from members of their own movement who seem quite predisposed toward rape, sexual assault, CSA and domestic violence.
He's the third Lord Brocket. The second Lord Brocket was a Tory and Nazi sympathiser. I'm assuming this one was probably also Tory-leaning. Also, The Guardian is institutionally transphobic. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_...
This is clearly a lie. We barely see the other three.
Absolutely no-one should be talking about the dangers of online mis- and disinfo when that's the only way to find some genuine news from some people on the ground, whilst newspapers and TV media are completely and utterly dishonest about what they choose to report, and when they report it.
How can there be peace if the foundations of what comes next were built by Tony Blair and Donald Trump?
Satan himself bows to Michael Gove.
Now, Labour have come in, and are focused on grift and culture wars. Just endless cruelty, stupidity, and an obsession with having a say on every thing but the stuff their voters elected them to do. The agenda can't change effectively until Starmer leaves.
Meanwhile, the Tories won a barnstorming majority after forcing a change of leader in 2019. Changing leader is necessary when the current one is too stubborn to change direction. It wasn't changing leaders that ever did the Tories in: it was them fucking up the country with grift and culture wars.
John Rentoul is an absolute idiot. Nobody has won an election by sticking with a flatlining leader stubbornly sticking with an unpopular agenda. www.independent.co.uk/voices/labou...
Voters deserting them, members deserting them, donors deserting them, unions starting to turn on them, and yet Starmer still wants to go further and faster with a failing strategy of discrimination, genocide and poverty. observer.co.uk/news/politic...
Hahahahaha! Reform poll gains? They're 15 points ahead because of the ghouls in the Labour right! Going further and faster to put Reform into power, that's what he's suggesting. Bunch of stubborn old men who can't admit when they've got it wrong.
That doesn't mean you need to do it 24/7, it doesn't mean that you don't stop for a few days, or weeks, or months if you need to for your own health and sanity. But, when you can, at every turn, you obstruct, you frustrate, you fight back, you sabotage, you speak out, until we stop these Nazi fucks.
But we, the true inheritors of the values of this country, the fairness, the decency, the desire for a country where everyone has an opportunity to thrive, where we welcome strangers and love each other for who we are, we are motivated, we outnumber them, and we can win if we fight.
This is our recent history. This is why we have a sense of hypernormalisation. This is why this is happening. The Tories laid the traps. Reform are exploiting them to pursue their extremist far-right agenda. And Labour are too beholden to power and cowed in the face of fascism.
Because the institutional capture so many ignored when it was directed at trans people and Palestinians was also happening against everyone to the left of Boris Johnson. Now, our country has been rigged in favour of the far-right, with a complacent Labour leader cowering in the face of it.
But, at protests, they can't even hit four figures. Trans-rights supporters, anti-genocide protestors, anti-fascist groups, Black Lives Matter, and environmental protesters regularly hit five figures, sometimes more. Why don't you hear about them?
We used to oppose Nazis until David Cameron came to power. Since 2010, we've been legitimising their concerns. The whole point of the flags is a couple of racists can put up hundreds, and hide behind patriotism, and make it seem like there are loads of them.
Our national flag is being turned into a racist symbol by fascists, and this motherf*cker is defending the fascists by saying we shouldn't call them fascists or racists.
Nobody is "ordinary". It doesn't exist. The far-right are astroturfing maniacs being supported by a gentocracy. Also, The Guardian is institutionally transphobic.
Amazing story: one of the organisers of the group putting Union Flags up around Manchester previously did time for being part of a people smuggling gang. manchestermill.co.uk/manchester-f...
Labour: We need self-ID so you can easily access public services. Also Labour: There's no money for public services, so they're shutting in your area.
Just got to work. The far-right have put up flags everywhere outside. It's like Nuremberg. Turning our national flag into a symbol of hate. I'm disgusted.
Last Democrat nominee who was massively supportive of trans rights won the highest vote in US history and sent Trump running for the hills. They simply don't want to be popular.
I mean, can you imagine their poor families? All that grief and rage and that hole left in their world, and the response by politicians is: we must eliminate 2.7million trans people in America. Not a word about guns or Nazis or online radicalisation. Nothing to stop more kids dying. 😭
Also, how awful is it that we can't focus on mourning the victims of this awful event because the white-right immediately, and viciously, started using this to call for trans people to be moved into camps? Transphobia literally harms more than just trans people.
Just so @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social knows: the American "trans shooter" was apparently a detransitioner radicalised by the white-right. You know, like Streeting wants to create more of. Solidarity with detransitioners not radicalised by the hateful anti-trans genocide movement. Not their fault.
