Finland tracked every gender-referred adolescent in the country for up to 25 years. Their psychiatric needs didn't improve after 'gender reassignment'. They surged. A landmark peer-reviewed study just dropped. Here's what it found. 🧵

Also these accounts also seem to be impersonating @RoyalMail support. Be careful out there folks! #ScammerAlert @ResponseDe72477 @Special1Royal @RoyalMailH30083 @royalXhelp_dms @services16141

Hi @RoyalMail, are these people your official support desk? They're certainly posing as such, contacting people who are complaining about your (terrible) delivery times.

@ResponseDe72477 Get lost scammer.

@services16141 I don't seem able to send you a DM. Other than our address what other details do you need beyond what you can see in the photo?

This arrived today, 17th March. Seriously, what is the point of sending a letter with an expensive 1st class stamp when it's takes 8 days to arrive? I'm talking to you @RoyalMail

@Femi_sorry @Jimbo79a You can pick and choose. E.g. I'm definitely not keen on his Bengal famine choices, but I am keen on his championing and pride of the European Convention on Human Rights. #ECHR

@Jimbo79a You can't have it both ways. If you like Winston Churchill as a person, that means you like what he stood for. You can't just pick and choose the values you like, and ignore the ones that would have allowed him to watch me be massacred.

A whole debate about the "radical left" having a problem with Winston Churchill... And NOBODY mentioned that he was basicslly just British Hitler. He called white people a superior race who had every right to wipe out inferior races. He was just more British about it. #Bbcqt

@ziontree I used to be against nuclear power, not least because of its early association with nuclear weapons. But the very real threat of climate disaster changed my mind. Nuclear needs to be part of the mix for the short and medium term.

After my talk last night, a woman said she’d always been against nuclear power, but “you’ve changed my mind.” Changing a deeply held belief in favour of evidence takes courage & should be praised. Keep having difficult conversations - you never know when something will land.

@jonburkeUK I agree about the importance of renewables, but nuclear still had a role to play in the medium term.

The London Array is one of the world’s largest offshore wind farms. It generates enough electricity to power 584,000 British homes. Only clean, renewable energy can deliver true British energy sovereignty and free us from the ruinous influence of the fossil fuel industry.

@paulmasonnews 'Borderline' is very generous Paul.

Tonight Tony Blair, who led us into a needless war in Iraq, and Donald Trump, who is a borderline incoherent racist, attacked Keir Starmer - our elected PM who kept us out of an illegal war. I know whose side I am on.

@jonburkeUK Also tricky for some partially sighted people.

As Cabinet member for Highways in Hackney, I refused to deliver any more of these crossings - there was one by a predecessor - because they get really grubby very quickly and are potentially confusing for drivers and pedestrians, but they have NOTHING to do with defence cuts.

The same people who voted to impose ‘austerity’ featuring massive Defence cuts whilst handing a £100k a year tax cut to 13,000 millionaires and raising the inheritance tax threshold to £1m per child are now complaining about councils painting a few rainbows on the road…🤡

2.5M+ people have already joined the international boycott of ChatGPT. OpenAI's market share is collapsing. I think people are starting to realize that we can actually push this company over the cliff.

@rcbregman I'm in the process of moving. Have exported most of my old chats. Have already cancelled the chatGPT subscription and stated the reason is ethics.

Publishing this in newspapers across Europe. This boycott is just getting started.

In the next 25 years @Keir_Starmer 's decision to reject Trump's demand we join a war with no clear purpose, for the sake of the Special Relationship, will be seen as historic. This was a decision where Britains values and interests aligned✊🇬🇧🚩

The Good Law Project’s challenge to the EHRC interim guidance has been dismissed. The High Court has confirmed that in the workplace, single-sex facilities cannot be open to anyone at all of the opposite sex.

The anmount of Tax avoided by Jim Ratcliffe's move to Monaco could pay for an extra 120,000 NHS nurses. It's not immigrants that are the problem. It's billionaires.

@BoredtownBoy @KaiserChiefs And we've also got tickets to Fat Boy Slim in Salford. That'll teach me to forget to put things in the family calendar! :-)

@CheeseSlices @KaiserChiefs Sorry, Derm, we’ve got tickets for Florence and the Machine tonight.😁

I've messed up, and now have two tickets for @KaiserChiefs at Bradford Live tonight spare. Gutted I'm going to miss it too. DM me if interested.

@GSpellchecker Because he's an elected national leader and Ratcliffe's remarks were both wrong (on a factual and moral level) and deeply offensive. In my world when people say something both wrong and offensive we tend to call for them to apologise. No idea why you have a problem with this.

Why is the Prime Minster of the UK publicly demanding that a British citizen should apologise for expressing their opinion?
