Women not wanting to date you is not a “legitimate reason” for misogyny. There’s no “legitimate reason” for bigotry. Just saying.

- Reposted by Lee MartinIf this story is accurate, then all those stories about Keir Starmer meticulously selecting only the highest-quality candidates in 2024 were horseshit and, in reality, we are now governed by a crop of MPs personally selected by the financially compromised ‘best pal’ of a child sex trafficker.
- Huge story in @theipaper.com "[Mandelson] was very involved in all the details; I think he enjoyed it. He was involved in all the personalities and the mechanics including asking the question of who do we want in which seat" Probably a breach of GDPR laws too ... inews.co.uk/news/politic...

People protesting against a genocide are not the criminals here - it's the politicians who continue to provide cover. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
- Reposted by Lee MartinThe House of Lords puts cronies, donors and disgraced politicians like Lord Mandelson in positions of immense power over our country for life. Unelected and unaccountable. Abolish this relic.

- Reposted by Lee MartinOne might point out that it's far more cowardly to block the candidate most likely to win for your party because they'll oust your leader at the first opportunity if they do win, than it is to decline to run in a seat a whole country away from where you live.

- Reposted by Lee MartinAnyone who cares to know the truth already knew that the Wes Streeting hit job on me and GLP was an intellectually dishonest and morally revolting attempt to cover up the tragic consequences of withdrawing gender affirming healthcare from young trans people. But this data makes that clearer still.
- Reposted by Lee Martin"these figures are much higher than the ones in Appleby's report: 46 trans children dying by suicide over a six-year time period, compared with the six trans children Appleby identified over six years."
- Reposted by Lee MartinThe figures here also show that 7% of all child suicides were trans children. That compares with trans children making up only 1% of the population. Trans kids are seven times as likely to die by suicide as cis kids and all this government can do is make things worse and cover these figures up.

- Reposted by Lee MartinTo those saying, "but the Greens will split the vote": 1. Things have changed. 2. It's not the Green's fault that Starmer has the Merdas Touch (turns everything to shit) 3. When the Greens offer the only inspiring option, perhaps we should see the Labour candidate as splitting the vote.
