We have become accustomed to the ‘two-tier policing’ of protests, where ‘pro-Palestine’ demos are exempted from Britain’s usually stringent hate-speech laws. Islamist and anti-Semitic protesters have been free to call for a violent ‘jihad’, to demand the genocidal destruction of Israel and to wave banners with swastikas, without any fear of being clamped down on by police. Now we might be seeing the emergence of ‘two-tier healthcare’, where opposition to Israel can get you bumped up to the front of an NHS waiting list.

Jess Phillips, Labour MP and Keir Starmer’s safeguarding minister, last night told an audience of north London theatregoers about a recent visit to A&E. After having difficulty breathing, she went to her local Birmingham hospital. She described the overcrowding she found there as akin to a ‘war zone’. Luckily for her, she was whisked to the front of the queue.

Apparently, a Palestinian doctor not only recognised Phillips as the local Labour MP, but also thanked her for opposition to Israel. ‘He was sort of like, “I like you. You voted for a ceasefire”. [Because of that] I got through quicker’, she admitted. Her political views, in other words, allowed her to receive preferential treatment.

I don’t know what’s more damning: that this took place or that Phillips gladly blabbed about it. Following her downplaying of Islamist thugs menacing journalists in her constituency, the Member for Birmingham Yardley already looks set to be a constant source of unwitting revelations for the media, and a constant PR headache for this already faltering Labour government.

Glenda Jackson meant a lot to me both for her acting and her politics. She will be so missed.

End Of Terror Meeting with Politician, Jessica Morden MP

This morning I met with my local MP Jessica Morden. Jessica represents Labour and is the parliamentary representative for the Newport East constituency. Over the past few years that I have known Jessica we have had two face-to-face meetings scheduled that have unfortunately not materialised due to me being sectioned on both occasions by mental health authorities. It was to be third time lucky and…

yeah no this is actually my favourite response so far

If you are a UK resident or citizen, please consider filling out this form for the government. The corrupt,bastard billionaires in our government continue to cut and make life incredibly difficult for disabled and unwell people. They are making DRASTIC cuts to benefits for people who are in need and unable to work.

I guess they think we will be less trouble if they just kill us all with these cuts.

This does take a little time, but please consider offering support if you are able to help push back against this.

kinda love that we're in the timeline where david tennant actually has enough power to get in a public conflict with THE BRITISH PRIME MINISTER like honestly yeah go off mr. the doctor sir

[lesbiansandgayssupporttheminers]

Labour already suspending their more left wing MPs, including multiple women of colour.

Same shit, different coloured tie.

[borealing]

if yall dont know whats happening in British politics right now, the guy who is like 90% likely to become the next pm, who is the leader of the (previously) more left wing party labour has been systematically removing all the left-wing MPs (members of parliament) who are likely to get re-elected and telling them they cannot stand as a labour MP at the election in july. he has been replacing them with people who are more right wing, for example one of them has a day job as a ceo of a privatised healthcare company, and another is literally an israel lobbyist. labour is becoming a right wing, racist, and blatantly pro-israel party. if labour gets in, it will no longer be "ohhh we totally cant take a stand on israel :///" they are likely to become explicitly pro-israel. they have abandoned all their left wing policies. they will be the tories 2.0, but worse in many areas. it feels like this country is copying americas lead with one more """left wing""" party whos campaign line seems to be "we're not as bad as the other guys!" whos policies suck ass as they can freely become more right wing and not what the public wants because "there's no better option". it SUCKS. and its NOT TRUE.

if you're in the uk, please look at your constituency and try to vote green, or independent, or whoever isnt labour or tory. party politics are failing us, we are NOT a two party country, we can do better than labour.

Anyone else feel like Labour are on track to become the new Lib Dems? The Lib Dems’ tuition fee betrayal was abhorrent, but Labour are really going for gold here, folks—deliberately targeting pensioners, disabled people, and low-income families while refusing to tackle wealth inequality. Feels like they’re setting themselves up to be yeeted into the sea come the next election.

Nothing like a bit of midweek doom, hey?

[unluckyfee]

Uhhh so apparently(?) my country’s ‘left wing’ government (realistically they’re centre-right and have been for a long time now) are now going to cut support for disabled people…and punish them if they’re not actively looking for work AND making it EVEN HARDER to claim benefits to help with said disabilities.

Oooh im about to go feral. How dare they fucking say they’re ’for the people’. Fucking liars. They’d rather sell out the most vulnerable to save money.

This country is a fucking joke.
