Enjoyed Kemi’s quip about free breakfast clubs being a defining legacy of this Labour government. When the Tories deride breakfast clubs, it shows how out of touch they still are. A £450 saving is a lot for working families. Easing the morning rush makes a big difference.


We are deeply concerned by the announcement in the King’s Speech that the UK Government is to draft a bill to ban what it calls “abusive conversion practices.” We oppose coercive and abusive practices. But there is already a robust legal framework in place to deal with assault, coercion, harassment, abuse and safeguarding failures. The question Parliament must answer is why new legislation is needed when existing laws already protect people from abusive conduct. Our concern is that this legislation is increasingly being used to pursue a more nefarious objective - creating an affirmation-only framework regarding “gender identity” in which lawful therapeutic exploration is effectively shut down. That would leave same-sex attracted people, vulnerable young people and those struggling with trauma, identity or mental health issues with fewer options for support. Same-sex attracted people should not lose access to lawful counselling because therapeutic neutrality has become politically unacceptable. Poorly drafted legislation could also create wider consequences for families, clinicians, employers and safeguarding professionals. We do not believe new legislation is necessary and we will continue to make the case that existing laws already protect people from genuine abuse — without creating further risks for vulnerable individuals, families and professionals. Please make these points - with personal examples if possible - to your MP, MSP or MA.





6/ We have compared the two audio tracks side-by-side and believe the EBU replaced approximately 46 seconds of audio. We are unaware of them doing this for any other country. We have asked the EBU for comment and are awaiting a statement - I would speculate KAN requested it.

nothing could’ve prepared me for this movie.
