Donโt be asking me to pick sides for something I ainโt got any real idea about, at a gig. Iโm a singer. My job is music. The only real thing I know about War is that Iโm sick and tired of premature death like we all are. Of the murder of anyone, under whatever fucking belief grid
A great bit in Cass. "Most young people who take puberty blockers turn out to be trans. This means they aren't properly thinking about if they are trans."
Absolutely incredible. This profoundly stupid man has been elevated to one of the UK's foremost anti-racist intellectuals when he knows ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about the issue.
Remember when
@LGBTLabour
heckled Corbyn at Pride? Or tried to make a big thing out of Starmer being the first Lab leader to March with them? And now they offer pathetic nothings while Starmer embraces transphobia and Corbyn is doing this.
Always worth noting that if there was the slightest inkling Labour's vote declined in a ward with a high Jewish population under Corbyn this was cause for screaming denunciations of Labour but Asians and Muslims voting for other parties is always suspect, illegitimate.
Keir Starmer is asked what his red lines are re: the genocide, with white phosphorous and bombing of "safe routes" mentioned. His weasel reply focuses entirely on Hamas and makes clear there are zero red lines for Israel. Absolutely sickening.

It's insane how the entire history of the Corbyn years has been rewritten by our political & media class. Thornberry, seen as one of Corbyn's foremost allies & who regularly defended the party from accusations, claims she was "at the forefront" of fighting "Labour antisemitism".
This is astonishing. In justification of his u-turn on trans rights, Starmer invokes "safe spaces" (which have nothing to do with self-ID). Campbell challenges this, Starmer is evasive and then wheels out the Isla Bryson case...which had nothing to do with Scottish GRA reform.
Here's Hinsliff demanding Corbyn change his position in Brexit, in a context where there were regular protests outside Parliament which singled out his non-attendance, and it's illustrated by a photo of Corbyn coming out his front door.
This conversation on
#R4Today
about MPs' security/rise of intimidation at home is chilling. It's hard for MPs to talk about - they fear making themselves targets or people thinking they're whingeing - but campaigners of all types need to stop & think here
My God, Lammy's response to this being to totally ignore what's said and start bleating about how "ugly and nasty" Corbyn's Labour was is astonishing. What an absolute husk of a human being.
To think you may have invented the term "hierarchy of racism" says you haven't done even the bare minimum of reading and research into this subject before deigning to write a book on it. It's just absolutely crazy.
@alexhallhall
I think you're missing that many, many vote switchers will have views like hers, and Labour does want them, and wants them to know it wants them. "Go away, we hate you, keep voting Tory" is the vibe Labour gave off when it was losing badly. And the two things were connected.
Elsewhere he smugly makes the point that not all Jewish people think the same things, which might be news to the David Baddiel who thinks Keir Starmer has "tackled antisemitism" by stomping on Jewish people who are critical of Israel.
Attacking
@MarcusRashford
for standing up for hungry kids, voting against free school meals, voting to support corruption and then using your position in Parliament to line your pockets with another job is about as low as it gets.
Iโm sure Ms Elphicke will want to apologise.
It also tells us that he didn't even bother reading the Chakrabarti report, a major report on the very issue his book was about, released a few years before he wrote it.
The level of contempt being shown for LGBTQ people by
@HackneyLabour
@Meg_HillierMP
is off the charts. They clearly think we'll move on once the bigot is elected. We won't. And don't you dare show your faces at Pride.
More from
@HackneyLabour
candidate Laura Pascal. "The NHS doesn't need to be an LGBTQ+ ally", seething at pronouns, blaming "dead trans kids" on folk not being bigoted and transphobia on school forms.
As a councillor, she'll have influence over schools and the local NHS.
Bloody hell. Unfollowing a charity dedicated to "ending online abuse particularly against black women and marginalised people", and obnoxiously telling them, because they tweeted they were attending a Stonewall Workplace Conference.
And more. Supporting a group
@AngelaRayner
agrees is transphobic, supporting trans conversion therapy, supporting top surgery being called "self-mutilation" and agreeing that gays having kids via surrogacy is "absolute misogyny".
