Except this is really about culture war nonsense while most people are concerned with public services that don’t work and a cost of living crisis.

Yes, concern for the rights of rape survivors and female prisoners is so terribly bourgeois, isn't it? I must get back to deciding which neo-pronouns I want people to use for me on Tuesdays, like a proper socialist revolutionary.

@MackieJonathan @TriathlonDebs Don’t think this is well judged either. MPs have a disproportionate expense allowance compared to other public sector employees from which they could fund proper equipment for their staff.

@sunneofyork @theAliceRoberts Humanism isn’t a religion it is about making sense of the world through logic, reason, and evidence, and always seeking to treat those around us with warmth, understanding, and respect. Faith does not come into it at all.

@WorldByWolf @irenegarth1946 @LiamFox @lukerobertblack You are grasping at straws because you were lied to about Brexit. You can’t replace the loss of trading with your nearest partners with deals with countries on the other side of the world. That loss goes far beyond trade.
