Keir Starmer has appointed as his new Comms Director Tim Allan who was a board member of the hate group Sex Matters. It's no longer even pretending to adhere to its Manifesto promise to "remove indignities for trans people who deserve recognition and acceptance."

хороший! 😆
Keir Starmer’s new director of communications isn’t just the founder of Portland Communications – which represented Qatar, Russia and Kazakhstan – he’s also come straight from the board of the anti-trans charity Sex Matters. The government is heading in a dark direction.
Yet another capitulation to Reform, when all the evidence shows that following the far right agenda is a disaster for centrist parties. Politics 101, which Starmer has once again entirely failed to grasp.
I am AMAZED there are not more people at the very least pointing out that this lightning-fast deterioration in Trump's health, happened only a few days after he had a lovely cup of Polonium tea and a slice of Novichok marble cake, with his best friend from Moscow.
😆😘
👍🥰

Just when you think Labour can’t go any further away from their founding principles…
Can you take cuttings? 😆
Well, they’d have struggled to find a window big enough….
Douglas Carswell has skirted the line and now he's crossed it. This is disgusting racism from a former MP who now demonstrates who and what he is.
Leaving the ECHR isn’t about sovereignty. It’s about scrapping the safeguards that stop governments abusing power. The Bear explains why that should scare us all.
But, but ‘protectvour kids’. The irony (and disgust) is stratospheric
Tomorrow I will be a tabling a motion to force the government to release the legal advice it has received on Israel's military action in Gaza and breaches of international law. Ministers cannot turn a blind eye to this humanitarian catastrophe any longer.
As ever, even on little sleep, Bear hits the spot. The racists are not who we are: open.substack.com/pub/iratusur...
When you’re done at your Dad’s Mr A……..😆
Morning Mr A👋🥰
This should be headline news - the implications are horrifying …
If you were stupid enough to vote Reform, you get stupidity in policy making (and it’s a stretch calling it ‘policy’). They really don’t represent you. In fact they couldn’t give a sh*t
The people who told us leaving the EU would have no consequences are now trying the same line with the ECHR. And the same people will buy the rhetoric. Be like Bear and do some actual research: open.substack.com/pub/iratusur...
Naziification of the UK. Reform UK would: Leave ECHR (join Russia and Belarus). Repeal the UK Human Rights Act. Disapply the 1951 Refugee convention. UN Convention Against Torture. the Council of Europe Anti-Trafficking Convention. Cancel the Good Friday Agreement. No one will be safe.
'Immigration doesn't bother me but it seems to bother everyone else' – Everyone. This is what happens when the media runs away with Hard Right narratives.
As Farage parades around the studios and airwaves today can reporters please ask him why there were no Channel crossings prior to the Brexit which he claimed would "take back control of our borders". Thanks
Times: "Asylum protests swell across the UK " headline, reporting an underwhelming wave. Leeds "draws 70" Cardiff "disorganised + small" Altrincham "*swelled* to around 200" Cheshunt about 250 Chichester: about 100 Portsmouth: about 70 v 70 on each side www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...
Nigel Farage took £40,000 to speak at a conference helping wealthy people gain citizenship abroad. Now he’s stoking fears that entrepreneurs are “fleeing all over the world”. https://bit.ly/3JoQZju
5 years after Brexit, it’s shamefully clear that UK is being left behind on environment policy. With few exceptions, Govt has *deliberately* chosen not to keep up with standards of EU neighbours. Worse, in a number of areas they’re planning to actively go backwards @ieep.eu @europeanmovement.co.uk

BREAKING: The far right have not called for all white men to be kicked out of the UK after a white British Labour councillor was convicted of raping a 15-year-old girl 🤷♀️
Every press conference is a gift
Zelenskyy is just too sharp for those MAGA numpties
Sadly, we know too much about Trump’s view of children
😂😂😂😂😂

They’re looking good 👍
Did you spot JD Vance in the background HATING every minute of progress being made? ~AA
😆
Ooh I like ‘deranged giblets’ 😆
Not far enough, but it’s a good start. Let’s keep the momentum up 😂
Just drifted on to Twitter to post a Bylines article by Sadiq Khan. Minutes later I’m mass blocking terf-serfs. What is the actual point of Twitter anymore? (Ps I know so don’t actually need it explaining- ta)
We can hardly move in our English town for being ‘full’
It's all a magic trick.
First game of the season though- give them time 😆
You were right the first time 😆

Night Mr A- it’s bloody hot down here 🥵
Just like Washington DC, crime in London is actually down and not rampant like the populists would have you believe. Is there something they’re trying to divert us from I wonder? ……🤔
Replace the name London with Washington DC and anyone would think there was a link, that the same playbook was being deployed. As if…… substack.com/app-link/pos...
Is it ironic, exceptionalists, that demanding special treatment for Britons visiting Europe puts you on the same side as Farage? Maybe worth reflecting on. @libdems.org.uk
Yvette Cooper - just resign. That is all. The crimes are: * Supporting genocide. * Criminalising pensioners and destroying trust with the police. * Demonising migrants and supporting Farage. @naushabahkhanmp.bsky.social @teamlabouruk.bsky.social @yvettecooper-mp.bsky.social
So Texas Republicans have now set up a TIP LINE to rat out the Texas Democrats So PLEASE, for the sake of the public, DO NOT FLOOD THIS NUMBER with tips on Bigfoot sightings, UFO sightings, or asking why Trump is on “the list” 1-866-786-5972 Thank you!
Just when will Farage et al be held responsible for what’s happening? Surely a legally-determinable link must be possible?
Beginning to put the pieces together now Trump voters? You thought you were voting against the ‘deep state’ crap. Instead you voted for a police state. Enjoy! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Why Dubai is finished by Our London Correspondent Isabel Cheapshott From the new Private Eye, out now.
Read this. Repost it. Ram it down every throat that ever bought Farage’s bullshit. Send it to your mates, your nan, your MP - this could blow the whole rotten Reform racket to hell. Farage isn’t a leader - he’s a conman in a blazer, and his empire’s about to crumble.
If only……..
The latest Fathers 4 Justice stunt looks a bit lame
Surely it would take at least an RPG to do the job properly? 😆
As Keir Starmer announces a returns agreement for asylum seekers with France, something we haven't had with the EU since Brexit In 2015 Keir Starmer called for safe and legal routes It's now 2025, Keir Starmer is Prime Minister, why isn't he establishing safe and legal routes?
This, this, this. If you think immigrants or trans women are the problem, you need to read and re-read this daily . And then shut up
The same happens to me whenever I put our gharddn umbrella up - abs guarantee of rain ☔️ 😬😆
From the CWS Archive. 8th August 2024.
This 'patriot' protesting against immigrants in Manchester is actually Irish far right thug Paul Rock, who got eight years for tying up and robbing a 76 year old woman. But yeah, just concerned parents.
These people are crazy. They simply never think through what they’re saying
If it’s not migrants, the r/w quickly point the finger at the trans community, Muslims, women, teachers, lawyers, judges. They never offer a real solution because they want us permanently divided, hating. If we stopped hating, their power would disappear
Migrants aren’t the problem. Unfettered capitalism, obscene wealth, massive inequality and man-made climate change are. But how much easier it is to believe that someone from ‘over there’ is ruining your life. Migration is what we, as a species, have done for millennia
We think, in the EHRC's haste to embed its anti trans agenda, it is breaching its legal obligations conscientiously to consider consultation responses - and we expect to sue. goodlawproject.org/the-ehrc-is-...
This cheered me up no end 😆
Well said
@kerrybavin.bsky.social hey there Kerry! Welcome to Bluesky👋
Does anyone, including the government itself, have any clue what this government stands for?
Four right-wing voices – Nigel Farage, Lee Anderson, Allison Pearson and Matt Goodwin – suggest the only way to prevent rioting is to give those taking to the streets what they want. All four called on the government to ban or crack down on the dramatically less violent Gaza protests or XR.
Rod Stewart was a big Brexit supporter and used his pre Glastonbury promo to urge us Brits to ‘give Nigel Farage and Reform a chance’ (look Farage up- he’s a nasty, racist, Russian-funded, poundshop version of Trump). Stewart’s no friend of democracy. He’s a massive twat
To protect England's privatised water companies Ministers claim that public ownership would cost £100bn. This number has no economic substance. I asked the Minister to explain and defend the £100bn number Watch the Minister's reply. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mQB...
I saw his Museum of the Moon inside Wells Cathedral in 2021- agree, his works definitely need space!
That’s not a decision, it’s a fence-sitting refusal to commit either way. You either support a Palestinian state or not. Giving Israel an opportunity to give false promises is like Trump giving Putin ‘10 or 12 more days’ to kill Ukrainians
That’s just gorgeous!!
This
Racist, misogynistic Engerland-supporting thugs trying to work out how to react to the Lionesses’ win
And quite rightly 👏
She’s human? 😳
The BBC News website has pages & pages of coverage related to farmers protesting inheritance tax, including events where only a few hundred turn out. In London yesterday 100,000 people marched for trans rights, and nothing. Imagine if it was 100,000 anti immigrant activists, they'd cover that.
You been drinking the cool aid? 😆
Worth waiting for! Looks like Beans is admiring it too 😻
But “protect our women & girls” 🙄
Unbelievable
🏳⚧ 100,000 people marched at London Trans+ Pride yesterday - but the BBC, Times, Telegraph & Daily Mail ignored it completely. These outlets publish dozens of anti-trans stories a week. But when trans people show joy, pride, and solidarity? 🦗 Silence. #TransPride #MediaBias Read why it matters ⬇️
If they can train AI to do the ironing, I’ll be convinced
I think I might need to take a little trip up the road to the Cotswolds in August. Sounds like there’s likely to be a sewage spill ….😆

Yet our media would have us all thinking the UK was at boiling point. Says everything that far more people came out to support LGBTQ+ rights & culture. The media hate that we’re not divided and hateful
Couldn’t agree more 👍
This is a huge and highly consequential story in @theecologist.org We have no idea what is being traded away to secure deals with other countries, and it turns out we are not allowed to know. So much for democracy. theecologist.org/2025/jul/23/...
