Wes Streeting's actions on puberty blockers for transgender children are completely wrong and harmful, puberty blockers are safe, reversible, and almost all children who take them go on to fully transition I thank the MPs who have taken a stance against him

Mary Peltola is a very important tool for the Democrats right now, but in 2026 she may be the most important Democrat nationwide Whilst she's staying in the running for her House seat in Alaska at-large, 2026 would be a great opportunity for her to run in the Senate, A 🧵

🧵One of the most interesting things about the 2024 election is the combined vote share of both Labour and the Tories: 57.4%, that's the lowest in the post-war era by a solid amount, to think in the 1950s it was 95%+... 2017 is also an interesting one in how it was the highest-

Many Americans are baffled by "Right to Roam." It's a very different approach to the bundle of rights associated with landownership. In the green countries you can basically walk around anywhere other than someone's yard. Farms and woods are "owned" but not "private."

So, what does this mean on a national level? Well, since Alaska has a very small population it only has one representative, so it doesn't make much of a difference for day to day matters in the House, it's just a nice novelty. But in the future, there's much to be gained.

if i had to give my honest bet at the next uk election, itll be a significantly reduced labour majority and reform will be a much bigger player seat-wise, i think by then they and the tories will still more or less be running against eachother and will split votes a lot

im no fan of keir starmer but it seems the media and people in generally have been awfully quick to blame all the country's problems on him? like, he came to power last month, i think he at least deserves a bit of time when it comes to things like, the nhs and wealth inequality

Kind of insane how much booting out Biden has been a net positive for the Democratic party in basically every metric, Harris now has such a huge coalition of support, a strong net positive approval rating (quite a rare prospect for politicians in the modern western world), and-
