@jamesmurray_ldn @RachelReevesMP @wesstreeting Hope you're going to follow the SC ruling on the meaning of sex & not allow your belief that some men are women distract the NHS from doing it's job again.

Deeply honoured to be appointed by the Prime Minister as Health & Social Care Secretary. Huge thanks to @RachelReevesMP for my time as part of her fantastic team. Can't wait to get started and continue @wesstreeting's brilliant work on such a critical mission for our country.

@DailyMail A transgender woman is male, this is a man.

We lost, which is hardly surprising given the prevailing views among our peers! Still, we secured a respectable number of votes, and honestly I came away feeling great! Afterwards, in the Union bar, I had multiple good conversations with people on both sides of the debate and, dare I say it, even made a few new friends.

Stating the very obvious here but we want to get it trending.. #IStandWithSallGrover

@CarlBovisNature Yes lots of goslings in London

If you see this photo, please leave a comment! 😀 Have you seen any cygnets, goslings or ducklings yet this year? 😍🐦

@SenatorCash @womenwillspeak It’s time for politicians to actually do something and fix the problem.

@salltweets Thank you for exposing this insanity Sall. You have exposed the stupidy of these laws which surely now must change.

I am absolutely devastated Men who claim to be women have more rights than actual women in Australia. It is women who are being discriminated against, not the men who claim to be us. But in a sense, nothing has changed: we will all wake up tomorrow & men will still not be women.

This should be more widely known. Burnham described reform to the GRA - effectively self-ID - as 'desperately-needed'.

Reminder: In 2019, Andy Burnham, along with Sadiq Khan, Dan Jarvis and Steve Rotheram, wrote this letter to the then Conservative government, which called for self ID to become law, "to transform the lives of trans people". The letter has now been taken offline

@10DowningStreet @jamesmurray_ldn @DHSCgovuk Yet another Health secretary who doesn't know what a woman is. What an absolute shitshow.

How did we cope without Prince Harry’s wisdom on the Middle East, Anglo-Jewry and Judaism? thejc.com/opinion/how-di…

❓Who would you rather have as prime minister?

This stubborn misconception that these ponds are a private club, where members make the rules. They are not. They are a public facility owned and operated by the City of London. And even private members’ clubs must comply with discrimination law, not indulge members’ preferences

There was something rather moving about King Charles' visit to Golders Green - or rather about the reception. Everyone in the crowd who spoke to him seemed to say the same thing: thank you for coming and for doing all he does for our community. And how much they - we - love the UK. What a contest with those who do nothing except scream how much they hate our country.

We haven't *needed* 'more privacy' till now. There are changing rooms, but most women change outside, in the meadows, because they can be unselfconscious about their bodies, their scars, their age. It was a safe haven, but women aren't allowed safe havens any more.

@BBCLondonNews Then they need to change the name as it's no longer women only. Transwomen are men.

When you're asked to cough up the £40k taxes you attempted to dodge paying, you haven't been "cleared". You've been let off with a slap on the wrist because of your privileged position that no member of the public would have been afforded. You're still a hypocritical tax dodger, @AngelaRayner.

@CarlBovisNature The cobweb

For years I used to photograph other things, not just birds.... but they always had a nature theme! 😊😍 Which one of these photos is your fave?

A King's Speech so tired, empty and illogical... It has an Energy Independence Bill that stops us drilling our own oil and gas... A Regulating for Growth Bill - a slogan up there with copulating for virginity and drinking for sobriety... A Removal of Peerages Bill, aka Peter's Law... A Civil Service Bill, aka Olly's Law... A Northern Ireland Bill that will persecute our veterans... A Conversion Bill that will persecute parents who talk kids out of going trans... Votes for sixteen-year-olds, which they regret now the kids don't like Labour... Digital ID cards that will be voluntary - any illegals likely to apply? A Courts Modernisation Bill that brings back the attack on jury trials... A Police Reform Bill that will abolish local forces... A Social Housing Bill that bars the tenants from buying their home... A Hillsborough Law they dropped once after promising contradictory things to families and to MI5... A European Partnership Bill so they can ram through future give-aways without a vote... And a Remediation Bill ... but no remediation for taxpayers, to whom Labour lied and shafted as soon as the election was done. No welfare reform, no reduction in spending, no defence investment plan. If Starmer thought that was enough to save his skin, he is sorely mistaken.

@afneil No penalty?

BREAKING NEWS — Angela Rayner says she’s been cleared by HMRC. She’s paid stamp duty due without a penalty being added.
