Badenoch has chosen her ground carefully.
She’s not trying to re‑write Cass or reopen routine prescribing; she’s going straight at the weakest point: an experimental protocol that makes participation the only NHS route to blockers and which has already been paused once for safety concerns.
By forcing a Commons vote, she drags Labour MPs into the open on a question most of them would rather hide from their constituents: are you willing to vote, on the record, for giving puberty‑suppressing drugs to 11‑ to 15‑year‑olds in a trial your own independent reviewer describes as ethically and evidentially fraught?
Her rhetoric – “no child is born in the wrong body”, “children must never be used as test subjects due to pressure from trans‑activists and bureaucrats” – is calibrated to align with Cass’s concerns while painting Streeting as captured by a lobby.
Labour has left such a vacuum of moral clarity that the Tory leader can now cast herself as the defender of basic medical ethics and childhood, and that will resonate far beyond the traditional Tory base.

@zarahussain999 @sharrond62 Oh ok like Islam has been hijacked by extremists and **checks notes** that Muslims refuse to condemn

@sharrond62 Unfortunately those flags have been hijacked by the far right
People like you refuse to condemn it

@jimmybolton27 @piersmorgan @andie1105 He scoffed at the numbers last week: this week he’s done a u turn it seems
English

“Many 1000s of victims” massively undersells it Piers. There were over 1,000 perpetrators identified in Rotherham alone and estimates put the total victim count closer to 250,000 nationwide. The scale of this is almost incomprehensible and watering down the numbers does a disservice to every single one of them.
English

These Grooming Gang investigations must be everything the original ‘investigations’ weren’t - forensic, wide-ranging, and utterly uncompromising about where the facts lead.
This scandal has shamed Britain and the disgraceful cover-up betrayed many 1000s of young victims.

@piersmorgan You’ve changed your tune from last week where you said the numbers were exaggerated. I lost all respect for you:

@Ausette91 @olfashdeb @TheGriftReport Clearly you haven’t read the horrific details of the case. It’s horrendous. This cannot happen again. How many babies and children have suffered. What are we as a society

Sobbing Preston Davey killer's hellish first night in cell as lags lie in wait
Jamie Varley aged 37 who was given a whole life order for murdering and sexually abusing 13 month old Preston Davey spent his first night in HMP Wakefield sobbing and quaking in his cell.
Inmates gave him a traditional prisoners welcome with loud banging on bars and shouting threats warning him he is on borrowed time and there is a bounty on his head.
Varley was placed in segregation on 24 hour suicide watch while mental health experts assess him after he was heard whispering to himself throughout the night.
Sources said the other prisoners knew he was coming and wanted him scared making his time inside as awful as they can because he is never getting out of this hell.
HMP Wakefield known as Monster Mansion houses high risk offenders including Harold Shipman Levi Bellfield and Ian Huntley and Varley is now one of Britain's most hated men inside the prison too.
Guards have a job on their hands keeping him safe as every day he survives the bounty for taking him out increases while he faces a lifetime of threats and isolation.

@chotiari @TheGriftReport @BlokeinD This is what I don’t understand. What was his end game? Did he think he could just do this to a poor baby? And then what? Raise him normally? Continue to abuse him? What was his plan? What on earth was he thinking? It was such a calculated move to adopt. Pure evil
English

@TheGriftReport @BlokeinD I wonder if he even considered this outcome when he allowed himself to descend into the madness of whatever the hell he was getting out of abusing and raping an infant.
What is an orgasm worth?
Not this. Now he really understands it. And all his regrets are worth nothing.

@jules20thC @stuey_beef @RosieDuffield1 Yes there was! She was minister for women. She was instrumental in many things including class review, planning regulations re gender neutral toilets, single sex wards in NHS. She’s been entirely consistent and I love her for it
English

@thefinalcig @stuey_beef @RosieDuffield1 She has been since she took over; I was wondering if there was a peep out of her about single sex spaces before that?

@AvonandsomerRob Winter fuel payment. Removing right to jury trials. Getting rid of lords peers. Assisted dying not in manifesto. Digital ID through back door
English

Many reasons for Starmer's downfall.
My top three -
1. Persevering with Rachel Reeves as Chancellor, particularly after it became apparent she faked her CV.
2. Failure to establish a good relationship with the US - something which every previous PM in recent times has mastered.
3. Sneering at the working classes every time they expressed concerns about immigration. This was a total failure to connect with the traditional Labour base.
Any more?

Henry Nowak killer left 'cowering in cell' after facing 'threats' from other inmates
gbnews.com/news/henry-now…
English

@RichardHanania Ah I see so you’re hopping to get engagement for your Substack. What a shit take. Undeniable evidence and victims and you decide to question the exact number. I know this was rife since the 80s in london. Tho apparently according to supposed mayor it wasn’t at all
English

Amazing level of BS is behind the estimate of 250,000 white girls victimized by "Muslim rape gangs."
What they did was:
1) Come up with a number for Telford, Oxford, and Rotherham, the center of the scandal
2) Extrapolate to the rest of the country
Imagine if, to calculate murders in America, you looked at Detroit, Chicago, and Baltimore and then assumed all of America has the same murder rate.
But wait, there's more!
Even the original numbers are nonsense.
To get the original estimate for Oxford, they included all supposed victims of sexual exploitation or grooming, by Muslims or anyone else. This means that they assumed 100% of victims were white girls and 100% of the perpetrators were Muslims for all cases of sexual exploitation!
The report also switches between saying there were 250,000 victims, and 250,000 instances of victimization, without any explanation why.
For Telford, they went back 40 years, though I don't think that there were Muslim rape gangs in the 1980s. The Oxford number includes all instances of "grooming," whether or not they involved sexual contact at all, and not much is shared about the methodology. It is a complete guess.
I often hear rightists say "the liberals lie so I don't believe anything." What conclusion are we supposed to draw from the fact that rightists are this indifferent to facts?

@AtomicErectus @snowydaze2020 @MysticCusp @sappholives83 If men started with that it would be a huge shift! Let’s not run before we can walk
English

@snowydaze2020 @MysticCusp @sappholives83 How does one go about taking accountability for this as an individual? I’m not disagreeing, I’m genuinely curious. Outside of reporting, shaming, and cutting off the men who rape, what more should we be doing, in your opinion?
English

“If 3 men bring you to some bushes, it should be obvious what’s about to happen.”
And what exactly is a 17-year-old girl supposed to do about it when surrounded by three rapists? I can barely believe what I’m reading. This is like something from the 1950s. It’s insane. What the fvck actually is this? @Lfromthenorth, is this kind of ruling common in Finland? I thought jury trials were the reason rapists don’t get convicted, but it looks like the problem is just men.

@jules20thC @stuey_beef @RosieDuffield1 Kemi has always been consistent. Such a shame she didn’t get PM
English

@stuey_beef Did any of the Tories care about this stuff when they were in charge? I can only remember @RosieDuffield1 standing up against it back then as well..,
English

@stuey_beef Labour drop the ball relentlessly but due credit to Kemi and whoever is advising and supporting her - she has been consistent on this issue which is refreshing these days! I sincerely wish there was a route to PM for Kemi

I know we’re mostly inured to Donald Trump’s disregard for institutional norms and proprieties, but pre-announcing the resignation of the prime minister of America’s supposedly most important ally is pretty extreme, even by his standards. UK ministers are genuinely and understandably shocked

@StephenBigBut @KiszelyPhilip Where’s the community funding for increasd security??
English

@KiszelyPhilip I'm really worried about the rise of Whiteophobia and the backlash against innocent White people, many of whom are feeling very marginalised and unsafe following this incident.
Will Starmer make a public statement that he stands with the White community at this difficult time 🤔
English

Appalling attack on innocent people in Scotland. Genuinely sickening.
Are we:
Identifying skin colour.
Calling it a terror attack.
Being angry.
Or:
Not looking back in anger.
Ignoring skin colour.
One Love.
The hills are alive with the sound of music.
And:
Is the main concern the attack itself or the potential for a backlash against white people?
Just checking I strike the appropriate tone for sectarian Britain.

@RealDonKeith I voted Labour because I’m suspicious Reform is a front for American interests. Reform have had a lot of money role in from American tech companies and evangelical organisations.
I don’t want Great Britain to tune into an American colony.

@sappholives83 If he’s in a secure facility wth is he doing visiting crocodiles among the public? Doesn’t seem secure!
English

The disabled man who dropped the child in the crocodile pit did not do this by accident. He didn’t throw a fit and knock the boy in. He chose a moment when four adults were distracted - - his carers and the child’s parents - lifted a ~13 kg child over a 4 foot wall, and dropped him 15 feet into a pit full of crocodiles. Furthermore, his carers were overheard before the incident asking him if he wanted to go see the crocodiles now. He was able to understand this, and to say yes. This man is not a vegetable, and I will eat my badge if this was his first violent episode — or why send him with two carers in the first place?
In my opinion, he should have been interviewed, and should absolutely be prosecuted for attempted murder. Disability does not preclude intent; unless it can be proven that he didn’t know what he was doing, he should be convicted and sentenced to spend the remainder of his life in a secure psychiatric facility. The conviction will ensure that no soft-hearted future carers will be able to give him another chance to get at children.

@joshuapbrink @RupertLowe10 First and foremost the survivors want a STOP TO IT.
English

For a report built on page after page of horrifying survivor testimony, the recommendations offer those same survivors almost nothing. No trauma care, no compensation, no redress, no support for the girls the system criminalized.
The victims’ suffering is cravenly paraded around to carry an argument about Muslims and immigration. Loud about the girls when they serve a purpose. Deafeningly silent when it comes to doing something to help THEM.
Forgetting the victims it claims to speak for tells you what it was built for. They were forgotten then. They’re being forgotten again.
Despicable. Ghoulish. Parasitic. Shameful.
English

@ThePosieParker Who was the working class after the Second World War? the country invited immigrants to come and work to rebuild the economy through hard work over decades, don’t you dare disrespect the legacy of those men who stood shoulder to shoulder with their co workers of all races.
