“The party said Natural England and the Environment Agency were preventing too many homes being built and adding unnecessary costs to building.”

These bloody woke agencies holding the country back, stopping houses being built in areas prone to flooding. Whatever next?!
The pitch here seems to be, ‘we’ll build the houses and infrastructure we failed to build during the 14 years we were in government, but we’ll do it in the most damaging and lowest quality way possible’.

“How did city fans not know?” Is a mad one, I don’t think football fans in general give a shit about sponsorship deals unless it’s with a really controversial company, it’s only when what the board does effects performance on the pitch that people tend to give a shit.

CNN making this sound more mysterious than it is. It was Yersinia pestis, the plague, the researcher died because she inhaled it into her lungs and developed pneumonic plague, there is no danger but to those directly exposed in the lab.

Fear-mongering in the time of global terror is a sick choice.

These columnists are vermin. ADHD diagnosis = doing it for the PIP is a popular opinion among these vile gobshites. The diagnosis + medication has made me more productive and I suspect that’s the case for many others. I’m sick of it being some ‘culture war’ talking point for people on the right.

The first thing I saw on Bluesky this morning, what a grim state of affairs. Is there a stronger insult than cunt? Cunt feels too polite when it comes to describing Farage
Just look at the glee on Nigel Farage’s face as he watches a Piddington resident cry about the overt racism she, her Caribbean heritage husband, and their two children have felt in the village during the referendum.

Time and again he’s showing us exactly who he is.

FFS, @Guardian.

Max Pemberton is NOT an expert in #ADHD, he's a psychiatrist specialiseing in older patients, with a bizarre agenda against #Neurodivergence, a regular column in the Daily Mail, and a dangerous TV show to promote

Remember when you had actual experts regularly writing for you?

This is what is striking about Keir Starmer’s “whole society” approach: it really just is the parts of society he is intellectually comfortable talking about. Nothing on online hate, nothing really on hatred driven by religious differences in the UK.
On a structural level, the government is not taking this stuff seriously enough

This content is a threat to public order and is driving a disintegration of the social fabric. An administration with its finger on the pulse would understand that a lot of issues run downstream of this
Great piece by @tbij.bsky.social about how a devout Muslim in Pakistan has been making thousands from Facebook pages spreading racist videos aimed at UK audiences.

‘We have no interest in news. I haven’t even looked at what is being said in the videos’
