When us gays got equality in law, heterosexuals did not have to give up any rights at all. Lowering our age of consent didn’t change theirs. Our right to civil partnerships and marriage didn’t not remove marriage for anyone else. “Trans rights” are the first to take rights from others.

Covid, 5 years on: "The mRNA vaccines prevented millions of deaths. [...] Masks worked. And as with every pandemic in recent history, subsequent reviews have found that the advice to go early and hard with containment was correct." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Letter from 24 consultant psychiatrists in the Times calls for "reinvigorated effort" to pursue existing data on 9k GIDS patients including 2k who were given puberty blockers. The data might not be rigorous but it must surely be capable of providing useful information.

The virus killed my uncle in just four days during the initial wave. He died alone in the ICU on a ventilator because nobody was allowed in the room. These trolls want to make a “comedy” out of it.

ICE tackles and arrests New Jersey father outside his home, leaving his 6-year-old first-grade daughter at home alone. She goes out looking for him. "I got my boots and changed my clothes. I wanted to find some help to find my dad..." www.ms.now/the-weekend-...

A letter from a group of psychiatrists in Today's Times, asking why there was never any follow up of the 9000 children given puberty blockers at the Tavistock clinic.

there's a nugget here which helps to explain Brown's character and why he was so incensed by the allegations against Mandelson from their time in office

Note the framing. How dare lesbians discriminate against porn-sick men.

Good example of how covid revisionist history is being used as a pretext by scientific vandals today.

I always forget to include a link to terfisaslur.com, which I think shows that they're missing part of the story. Not that ever look at it, or admit it. In fact they might blame us for the violent threats and abuse, because we could just be kind after all.

If you liked this experiment, I published a full piece today in the same vein: a text that gets 100 years older with every section, from a modern blog post to a medieval chronicle. It's a single story spanning 1000 years of English. See how far you get. www.deadlanguagesociety.com/p/how-far-ba...

One of the greatest bollard walks in history. #WorldBollardAssociation

What better way to spend a day off than pitching in for the campaign effort to get the amazing Angeliki Stogia elected in Gorton & Denton! I went out on three door-knocking rounds in Denton this afternoon and the returns were positive, but the only poll that counts is polling day on Thursday! 🗳️🌹

Ro Khanna: "If you wanna be in politics, you probably don't want to offend the billionaires. That's why the Epstein Files have been hidden for decades."

This isn't a teaser—it's just an acknowledgment that the next PROOF report is taking a while and there's a good reason. The Epstein Scandal isn't primarily a sex scandal. You don't understand how powerful and well-connected this man was. This is a global scandal and it is scary.

Here’s my reply to your letter yesterday Zack Polanski - a reply that took you three weeks to draft

LUCY POWELL: 'Reform UK are no friends of working people in Manchester or anywhere else' www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

'Inside bitter by-election battle between Reform division and a united Manchester Angeliki Stogia called out the politics offered by Reform’s candidate Matt Goodwin, and vowed to fight for her city ahead of voters going to the polls in Gorton and Denton'

A man adopting sexist stereotypes to claim womanhood *reifies* those sexist stereotypes. Undergoing surgery, to pretend to change unalterable sex, separates people from their humanity as a form of *alienation*. Purchasing those unachievable changes is *commodification*. Antithetical to Marxism.

It is important that you understand: as a man lecturing women about their own lives and liberation movement, you carry all the authority and credibility of a dog barking at the sea.

1. It was commissioned by a Green Party donor 2. Only a small sample was polled, about 350 people 3. There was an overrepresentation of wards that typically vote Green. It's clearly a poll to rally support, rather than give a snapshot of how people intend to vote across the constituency

Good news ..at least I hope so. That trial would be barbaric.

Protecting trans people doesn't have to come at the expense of women's rights. We're not saying trans people shouldn't be protected, we're saying their protections shouldn't remove ours. Surely we can all agree here?

This has to stop irrespective of party.

Detectives investigating Andrew have asked the FBI and DOJ for unredacted copies of the Epstein Files, via the National Crime Agency.

I think if you read the UKs Social and Economic History you will find the Labour Party has never been 'like the Tories'

After the priests, after the boy scouts, after Epstein, there are still people (mostly men), telling me that no men would put on a wig simply to enter women's spaces. That this would be too much effort.

TRIGGER WARNING The introduction to this article contains incredibly disturbing artwork created by Maria Farmer (the first woman to make allegations against Epstein) open.substack.com/pub/lisevold...

President Trump has withdrawn his support for Sir Keir Starmer’s deal to hand the Chagos Islands over to Mauritius because the UK has not agreed to allow the use of British bases to attack Iran. And the Conservatives and Reform UK Ltd, have helped him. Treacherous

I think the Shallow Cabinet would be a suitable description for Reform's latest effort. If integrity was water you wouldn't get your feet wet going through it.

That's exactly it. Only women are being denied freedom of association and rights to privacy, dignity and safety when men can just self-ID into our spaces. I have nothing against certain spaces being inclusive of all, but I absolutely also want certain spaces to be female-only.

BREAKING: Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office, BBC News reported reut.rs/4s0NSPL

So 12 groups are closing or considering closure. Probably under pressure from males with trans identities on committees. Meanwhile the rest of 7000 groups are probably delighted. I'm sure the WI will survive. Speaking as a former Head of Sport at the NFWI. It's an organisation for women. That's it.

This #NationalNestboxWeek, remember not all birds nest the same way! Here's a few options to get you started... Robins and Wrens like to keep hidden, tucking their nests away in dense cover. An open-fronted box placed low down and out of sight is just their style. (1/4)

We’ve been here before …. haven’t we 🤨 #Brexit #DublinAgreement

'Protect the Dolls'

"It was never 'hateful' to say that people can't change sex..."

"Working-class women need to know that the women-only public services we need such as changing rooms, toilets, domestic violence refuges, sexual assault and rape crisis centres, health services, sports clubs, lesbian social groups and prisons will remain women-only." labourlist.org/2026/02/ruli...

One person who I omitted from my reply is a man named, Andy Pennington, who was killed trying to protect his MP. Staff work extremely hard, whether that be assisting with case loads, or making sure MPs are safe. Let's not forget them.

Have you filled in the BBC Survey? If you haven’t and you’re hacked off with Mason, Kuensberg etc. this is your chance to have a say.

British politics in a nutshell.

'There is nothing “Labour,” or “socialist” or “progressive” about telling nurses they are bigots because they do not want to undress in front of men, and it is shameful that the Darlington Nurses, Sandie Peggie, and Jennifer Melle were not supported by their trade unions.'

📣 Calling all UK Labour members: Support Lynne Troughton and Miriam Rice — both UK Labour councillors — for the National Women’s Committee. Candidate statements will soon be available: labour.org.uk/updates/memb...

Good thread

Employment rates for non-EU born are now *above* those for the UK born. Gap used be nearly 10 percentage points. A tribute to the success of UK immigration/immigrants and labour market integration, especially in recent years. Something government should celebrate..

Labour hasn't done a U-turn they were taken to court, so after legal advice reinstated the elections. Why they wanted them postponed "councils were concerned with cost to taxpayers of holding elections for councils due to be abolished" In a year results will be irrelevant but cost us £63 million.

Epstein Files "contain disturbing & credible evidence of systematic & large-scale sexual abuse, trafficking & exploitation of women & girls & could amt to sexual slavery, reproductive violence, enforced disappearance, torture, inhuman/degrading treatment & femicide" www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel...
