It's not that I don't sympathize with people who attended lectures over Zoom, it's that I think it's orders of magnitude less urgent than the people who said goodbye to loved ones over Zoom. It is deeply frustrating that the former are able to seek redress while the latter are not.

She was funded to do the biggest medical review on trans youth care in British history, I think about £4 million over 4 years, and the thing she's bringing to the press at the other end of it is a pet theory about what she reckons is up with trans kids that has no evidence behind it.

Imagine being an incumbent labour councillor in one of these councils thinking what might save your seat this time is the elections being postponed with the possibility of someone/anyone better as PM and then... SURPRISE! You're having that election after all! www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

With the added irony that terfs policing gender are, in fact, imposing on girls the need to conform to "typical" standards unless they want to get threatened for going pee in the ladies' loo.

Hilary Cass here arguing for children to be prevented from being known by a preferred name or getting a haircut in case it encourages them to continue later in life to transition. Hilary Cass acts like gender variant children should have the transness hazed out of them.

Kind of glad I didn’t go out for a walk this lunchtime as the weather has certainly turned

Farage is in Romford today and so am I. We shall not be interacting.

Of course. Why would you invest in soft power? It just helps in the kind of warfare that: a) Russia has shown it's actually good at; b) Russia is waging on the West already; c) The UK/NATO nuclear deterrent is useless in preventing; d) Costs a fraction to fund compared to military hardware.

The thing about Casablanca being the greatest film of all time is people don't believe you and then they watch it

Ole 'arrested & given a police caution for DV against his then pregnant GF' Rod telling us lil ladies what's best for teens. I just love what great feminists all the opinion column clique transphobes are ☺️

Says woman with zero expertise in either but an awful lot of bigoted friends

This is now literally the lead story on BBC News Scotland. The employment situation of a private individual harassed via lawfare is deemed the main headline for national news. This is genuinely sickening. The media is a cancer upon this country.

Starmer's Britain is one in which an NHS Doctor is dragged through the courts and shamed in the press for no crime she has committed and is ultimately forced into self-exile due to harassment Labour on all levels of politics enthusiastically supported

It *literally* does. Thats what it is. A document which says youre British.

Labour Together under Morgan McSweeney and then Josh Simons was an organisation funded by rich donors, waging a campaign of bullying, smears and deception, using mafia tactics against both journalists and the left. Yet Starmer has still failed to sack Josh Simons even now. 👇

Happy V day

EXC: An LGBT veteran court martialled for being gay was denied compensation because it took place one year before the scope of the reparation scheme. Chris Dennis says he feels "punished for a second time", and was sent a rejection letter with the track changes on it www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

This framing from The Times – focusing exclusively on employers – I think means that even they have realised just how significant the High Court decision is when it comes to trans inclusion by service providers. Time for the Code of Practice to be sent back.

Objectively funny.

5/ Office gossip The judge also dismissed fears that forcing Trans+ people into third spaces could out them - which was argued as an act of privacy violation. The judge defends his dismisal of this fear on the basis that: "A propensity for gossip is a feature of every workplace."

It's going to be interesting to see how this "clarity" plays out in practise. Given that workplace regulations require single sex provision and the court has said this means "biological sex" BUT /service providers/ can be trans inclusive, how does that apply in, say, my local pub?

Once again for the people at the back. Especially anyone looking at Times, Mail or Telegraph headlines today.

I think everyone should just demand individual lockable toilet rooms at work and some people get named thrones and others have to hot desk

All of these public expenses and costs because some conniving bureaucrats insisted things should be worse than they have to be.

It's devastating to me how much public money is being wasted in the British legal system purely on maintaining maximally destructive stances on human rights in service to the political ideology of the regime.

Wow! Palestine Action win judicial review - Guardian report. This is a *big* legal win. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Here are our FAQs on what the High Court's judgment means. goodlawproject.org/resource/faq...

In a pretty grim decision - with one very considerable silver lining - the High Court has dismissed our challenge to the EHRC Interim guidance. A number of resources follow in a 🧵.

My nemesis does her one article pretending to be reasonable while hating trans people so often that her byline link is an absolute mess and Brits still give her the time of day

I share this only to help those contemplating whether to tweet "I support Palestine Action".

“Palestine Action is the first civil disobedience organisation that does not advocate for violence to be proscribed by the British Government as a ‘terrorist’ group, in a Trumpian abuse of power which would have seen this Labour Government proscribe the Suffragettes": Ammori.

Out

No one has linked to the actual guidance so all we have is spin. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

Anyone who had genuine concerns about youth gender medicine would staunchly and wholeheartedly support social transition. Let kids explore their identities to see what works for them! The fact that this movement opposes even pronouns and haircuts shows that it's just bigotry all the way down.

Labour continues to troll the trans community - and to prioritise pleasing the right wing press. We know Hilary Cass was selected for her transphobic views: Kemi Badenoch told us exactly that. So why is she running trans policy for Labour?

And Starmer has just expedited her appointment, because he can only make a decision when it’s a bad one

I have a thing I’ve been trying to write for over a year now and it’s not there because every attempt still feels like you can see the writing. For it to work, you need to be immersed in it and feel the blood rushing to all the places. Some people would be satisfied with the written version

Fresh from smoking cigarettes and committing adultery, it's the FRENCH DEMON TWINK and his partner, dancing to, and I am not making this up, the soundtrack from the Darren Aronofsky movie The Whale where Brendan Frasier plays a man who eats himself to death

They’re very talented. I just feel absolutely nothing when they dance

James Van Der Beek spent the last year of his life fundraising for cancer treatment. He auctioned off Dawson’s Creek memorabilia. Costars launched Cameos to raise money for his care. A serious diagnosis in the US can financially destroy you. Universal healthcare saves lives.

Poor Lilah

James Van Der Beek, star of Dawson’s Creek, dies aged 48

Capitalism is the problem. AI merely makes that problem more visible than it was before because now millions of areas and people where the market has fundamentally failed are now about a dozen products. Capitalism will not provide the solution.

Probably worth noting that Palantir keeps winning government contracts despite its leaders being hostile to public sector workers.

NEW from @milesklee.bsky.social: “One of the CEO’s surrogates was sounding out Epstein for advice on financing the deal and potential board members for a reorganized Tesla.” www.wired.com/story/jeffre...

Loooooooooooool. I have a buddy who's a trained falconer, and had a big as owl he got from a bird rescue. She was the only bird he couldn't train to hunt. They had to feed her frozen mice. Very, very pretty but very, very dumb.

Everyone who praised Barnes’ opportunistic and bigoted book is a fool

Jim Ratcliffe is the business genius who shut down a significant proportion of the UK's refinery capability in preference of gas storage then didn't build any gas storage.
