Burnham claiming burning the fossil fuels of Rosebank and Jackdaw will help a “clean energy future” is like claiming that banning protests against genocide is to help preserve democracy.
Andy Burnham is asked about Rosebank and Jackdaw oil and gas fields.
He says "Use of our resources can support and accelerate a clean energy future"
We are truly down the rabbit hole with this utter nonsense.
Invest in renewables, insulate homes & say no to fossil fuels.

Automated necropolitics was always going to be deployed when AI was invented. Politicians and immigration officers will always prefer to have an alibi to cover for their dehumanizing decisions.
The errors caused by AI in processing asylum claims have been shown to be far higher than the Home Office's claims, somewhere around a quarter.
For many people that can be a life of death decision. AI has no place determining that for people.

Many of the infringements of civil liberties and privacy listed here by @goodlawproject.org were routinely used with impunity by gender-critical transphobes against trans people years ago and well before Meta’s glasses were invented.

A couple of days ago Burnham did an interview during which he claimed to want to help young people. Now he’s cutting their pay.
Labour now briefing young people won't get the same minimum wage uplift.
Even Starmer didn't break this pledge. Workers rights mean same rights, pay & conditions, same rate for the same job.
What does this Labour government have against young people?

Minimum wage rise for 18- to 20-year-olds to £12.71 could be shelved
Labour had promised to bring the payment into line with those aged over 21

I'm so very tired of seeing Trans Women held to standards of accountability and emotional regulation few others face
While others get to be angry, defensive, and messy, Trans Women must remain patient and composed
All while being targeted, vilified, and dehumanised on an industrial scale

Where are the lawsuits?
Hannah Barnes and her cohort of McCarthyist investigators keep on attacking Gender Services who don't conform to the atrocious standard of care the rest of the NHS provides.
So where are the lawsuits? Hundreds of children and adults 'saved' by shutting down care.

Remember when women had rights.

There should be absolutely no mistake here: This is hate speech. These are slurs. “Trans-identified man” is a slur. It is ugly and hateful and it is designed to engender disgust and suspicion towards innocent trans women for no reason other than that they are trans.

I felt I really needed to write about Rowling's essay, not because it's new, but because it's so poisonous and ugly that it felt like sanitizing her not to acknowledge it on my trans news site.
There's no pretense left. J. K. Rowling made her hate for trans women clear in a slur-filled screed slurring them a dozen times and describing them as deceitful and dangerous.
So writes @evanurquhart.bsky.social this morning on Assigned Media.
