Centrist commentators for the next few days

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

Complaining about nightlife when you *checks notes* choose to live in Soho is like living in South Kensington and complaining about the museums.

Or moving to Hackney and grumbling about creatives. Living in Richmond and hating green space. 

It's all getting a bit silly, isn't it?

[Nadia Whittome MP @NadiaWhittomeMP]

Yesterday, I questioned the Chair of the EHRC about the new Code of Practice, and the harm it poses to trans people and others who do not conform to gender stereotypes.

The Code suggests employees of a business or a service should enforce restrictions based on evidence such as “the individual’s physique or physical appearance, behaviour or concerns raised by other service users.” When asked to specify what these would be, the Chair couldn't answer and instead spoke about “common sense”.

The truth is that people would be relying on gender stereotypes, which are harmful not only for trans people but for others as well.

Crime is now being viewed through an entirely racialised lens – but only when the perpetrators aren't white.

When Chas Corrigan stabbed a Saudi student to death, or Paul Doyle mowed down Liverpool fans, white people didn't have to fear being a target of collective retaliation.

Happy 58th birthday to the legendary Kylie Minogue.

[Barry Malone @malonebarry]

These are international civilians, innocent of any crime, who have been illegally abducted in international waters by Israel. That’s what we’re looking at here.

[cameron @365PRTYGRL]

I personally believe we should be erecting statues of Kylie Minogue worldwide.

[samantha jones stan account @marcoslabrador_]

They sang I Will Survive like it was just another iconic moment, but Madonna had just survived a near-fatal infection, and Kylie had quietly overcome a second cancer relapse.

We were watching survival in real time and didn’t even know.

[alex 🕸️ @kminogues]

to overcome cancer for a second time while saving us with the disco era during peak covid? i will forever be in awe of her strength

[90s Kylie @kylie_90s]

this brings so much more meaning to this gorgeous song from that era 🪩 😭

[Andrew Marr @AndrewMarr9]

I am now reliably informed by sources that something is going to happen. Or else it is not. But don’t pass this on…

loving always seeing the legendiva @BethRigby during times of crisis

.@labourlewis: "For every 10 voters we lose to Reform from Labour.. we lose 16 to the Greens. The reality for us is that actually, by shifting to the right.. Labour is losing its core progressive vote. That's what's happening at the moment"

[Clive Lewis MP @labourlewis]

There’s a lot of delusional “stick with the plan” talk around at the moment. Almost as bad is the idea that “the government needs to change course”.

No. It doesn’t.

The Prime Minister needs to go.

That is not negotiable.

The only thing now in his gift is the nature of the contest that follows. It must be open, fair and legitimate. Everyone who should be part of that process must be allowed to take part.

That means no blocking Andy Burnham. And it means a clear departure date, no later than the autumn.

These results are existential for the Labour Party. Existential.

Anyone still saying we should simply carry on “delivering the plan” has lost touch with political reality, and with the public.

The voters have spoken. It is not for the leadership to pretend they have not.

[Ben Smoke @bencsmoke]

this is outstanding from @rachelmillward

[Ash Sarkar @AyoCaesar]

Oh, okay. I see, you think this has nothing to do with you.

[selina meyer’s wife @selinameyersgf]

time to stock up on toilet paper again

[Alan MacLeod @AlanRMacLeod]

Yes, because you now have two homes.
