Rish Sunak creating a weird list of threats to the UK. Russia, Iran, North Korea, antisemitism, 'gender activists' and 'Scottish nationalism.'

The UK government on Sunday rebuffed calls to follow the US’ lead in halting some arms sales to Israel if it proceeds with a major ground operation in Rafah, the southern Gaza city home to 1.4 million refugees, Anadolu Agency reports. Foreign Secretary David Cameron, in an interview with the BBC, expressed his opposition to Israel’s plans of an invasion in Rafah but emphasized that ceasing arms sales would “make Hamas stronger.” He claimed that the UK supplies a mere 1% of Israel’s weaponry, indicating limited leverage in influencing Israeli actions.

The massive, raging hard-on the UK currently has for the age 25, not to mention that it's based on a misrepresentation of a study on brain development, is soooo sinister. First the cass report, now petitions to impose extra rules on driving in under-25s. Twenty-five. Like, even if it was based in good faith on safety, why not propose it within the bounds of how recently since getting a provisional license, etc.? Why does age have anything to do with it, if it's to do with experience and training? It's transparently based on an image of young people being irresponsible and underdeveloped, a viewpoint propagated by groups who see young people as a political threat. I would not be surprised if the ultimate fantasy is to increase the voting age to 25.

everyone who is being attacked by tories rn need to stand up for eachother. trans people, asylum seekers/immigrants/refugees, disabled people are all being attacked rn by a pm who wasn't even voted in. we need to stand side by side in this and advocate for each other.

So I heard Israel got max points from uk public vote the optimist in me wants to believe it’s because those of us that stand with Palestine didn’t watch
But I also know that the uk progressives are useless and would have still watched and voted for them because some bullshit about “not wanting to bring politics into Eurovision”

The Labour party has just admitted one of the most rabidly anti-migrant MPs to their ranks, and immediately started defending her for trying to use her influence with justice secretary to change the date of her husband's sexual assault trial. Labour is polling at 48%.

the universe is so fucking funny for this. imagine being born for a job. you having that job can only happen if your mom dies. and you wait 73 years for that to happen. and when you finally get that job, you get diagnosed with cancer and quite possibly die within the first five years. absolute legendary move on the universe’s part. lol. anyway, activate the crabs.

not nearly enough people are fuming about the cass review. do you understand the eventual implications? trans people in the uk will be considered children up until the age of 25, and denied HRT/surgery/even basic measures like legal name change and social transition. all owing to a biased and largely unscientific study. you know what “treatment” for gender dysphoria is recommended by the review instead? conversion therapy.
this will kill people and they know it, because they prefer us dead and out of sight. the government, the NHS and even the opposition have made this clear again and again. a twenty-five year old can have sex, get married have children, join the military, earn a living, be halfway up the corporate ladder or highly successful in their chosen career field by that age, but they can’t transition under NHS rules. this is a death sentence for trans teenagers and they are going ahead with it. it’s trans genocide, same as across the pond.
i’m so afraid for my trans siblings and our futures. i’m so scared for myself. what are we to do if not even the party that is supposed to be on the “left” gives a shit about our safety and mental health as long as they get voted in? labour have become tories with a red coat of paint. it all feels hopeless
