🏘️ We need to build more houses, but outer London is not inner London.
🚂 The designation of "well-connected" stations is deeply inaccurate.

They won't regret it in 20 years either.
Transphobes constantly tell people they'll regret it in a few years, 5 years, 10 years etc.
Meanwhile there are trans people who transitioned 60 years ago who still don't regret it.

People online need to pay attention to this.

I think Tom Scott put it best when he said (basically) that people will draw the line of what's acceptable just below what they themselves would do.

Crescemos cercados de romances héteros e continuamos gays. Mas um beijo gay na TV seria capaz de mudar a sexualidade de alguém. Curioso como a heterossexualidade que dizem ser tão “natural” não resiste, nessa lógica, a uma cena na mídia

***EXCLUSIVE by @MishalHusain***

David Cameron says Britain should NOT rejoin the EU

The former prime minister warns Andy Burnham that starting a conversation about rejoining would be “very long and painful”

Speaking in a Bloomberg interview, Cameron urges Burnham not to trigger another “decade-long debate about whether should be in or out.” He also says the UK should not enter a customs union with the EU

As the PM who led the Remain campaign in 2016, Cameron’s intervention will be seen as significant. He says Britain’s economic problems aren’t due to Brexit

“Today, instead of launching an argument about rejoining, which I think would be a very long and painful argument, and who knows where it would end up, instead of that, focus on how do we be the best friend, best neighbour, best partner,” Cameron says

The former PM also warns Burnham that talking about Britain rejoining could hamper future negotiations

“If you start endlessly producing this idea that we’re actually on a path to rejoining, I think you’re in danger of getting a less good partnership deal because of course the EU countries will just think: well, these guys are gonna rejoin anyway, so what’s the point in giving them a good partnership deal… If you’re not going to, you know, commit to trying to make the partnership stronger because you’re flirting with rejoining, I think there’s some dangers there,” Cameron says

“I don’t think actually necessarily joining a customs union is the right answer. If you look at the economic problems we have today, I don’t really think they’ve got anything to do with Brexit at all. I mean, our economic problems are we are overspending, over-borrowing, over-taxing, over-regulated, and far too much being spent on working age welfare. Those are a set of problems that have nothing to do with Brexit. We need a government that actually gets spending under control, gets taxes down, helps entrepreneurs, deals with our borrowing problem, reforms the welfare, and massively deregulates so we can build houses, build infrastructure. None of those have got anything to do with Europe. So that’s sort of, in a way, that’s my point. Do we really want to go into another decade-long debate about whether we should be in or out, when actually we should deal with our own problems while making the partnership model work?”

“I fought the campaign to stay in on an amended basis, and I obviously wanted to win that campaign. I was desperately disappointed that we lost that campaign. But I’m a democrat, a believer in democracy. We voted to leave, and I think the right thing now is to try and become, you know, not just neighbors, partners, and friends of the EU, but the best friends, the best neighbors, the best partners. And I think we can make that work”

NEW: The overwhelming majority of people who transitioned as teens don't regret it as adults.

That's according to a new study, the largest yet to examine satisfaction and regret in people who transitioned before they reached adulthood.

I was way too optimistic about this dystopian vision back in June. I was wrong. They're banning YouTube Kids too.

This is absolutely mind numbingly moronic. These people are not fit to lead a free society.

UK government: Yes, 16 year olds in our country can join the army, go to college and have consensual sex, but they cannot use Spotify or the YouTube Kids app, they might get groomed on there

[Cllr Rhys Benjamin 🏳️‍🌈🇬🇧 @RhysBenjamin]

No they’re not. At least, not since 2023: F1TV/Channel 4 have that privilege as the “official” English commentary. The fact many countries around the world take the Sky commentary doesn’t mean they’re “the international broadcasters”. Same goes for ITV, which was VERY pro-Hamilton in 2007-08.

[kaguya @kartosiewicz]

in the uk you can only access Youtube Kids if you are an adult

Much like premium X, why on earth would you publicly expense it?

Why are we paying for an MP's premium subscription to ChatGPT?

Why don't you do some proper research and stop spamming us with awful AI generated images?

It’s cute that the first thing you did when you woke up this morning was send this tweet. I work in finance, you learn: people lie, numbers don’t.

Please do call me “wet Lib Dem”, by your use, it appears to mean I dislike useless people & racists, like most Brits, so carry on x
