Ooh that's me in the middle! Such a pleasure to stand shoulder to shoulder with these incredible young people!

Interesting. I was so utterly naive to think that a few court victories would get us back on track. I had not even conceived of a situation where so many would have gone mad. I had not realised that this was never about the law, it was about blind allegiance to a religion, which of course over centuries has inspired humans to do terrible things, utterly convinced they are right and will be rewarded by their gods.

Why should anyone over 18 be working a 40hr week for 25k? Especially a university grad, let’s be real. Entry level role pay has stayed the same for nearly 20 years.

Actually, Rory, we DID try to talk compromise 7/8 years ago. Stonewall etc called us bigots and screamed #nodebate. They wanted everything: the most dangerous rapists in women's prison, men in women's sport, cross dressing volunteers "looking after" 11 year old girls on Guide trips. We went to law because it was all that was left. They overreached and the line, which was always biology, had to be reaffirmed. Your "liberal" position is, in reality, still prioritising men. You could have listened back then too, but you and Campbell continue to speak over us and make assumptions. Would it be so difficult to invite a woman onto your podcast? Or are you scared you might have to learn something? Oh, and yes, there are always more important things than women's rights. Or, at least, that is what feminists have been told for decades. We have to force the issue because, otherwise, we are at the back of the queue.

A must-read. The complicity of people across the BBC, including at the highest levels, who KNEW they were all in thrall to a “world gone mad” yet would not challenge that - understanding their cowardice & complicity doesn’t excuse it for me, not at all.

@Sunday_Post today reveals the SNP are so deep in denial about the reality of biological sex that parts of NHS Scotland now struggle to speak plainly about women, mothers and families. That women are mothers. Men are fathers. Babies are sons and daughters. Calling women “birthing people” in stillbirth guidance is dehumanising, ideological and utterly detached from reality at the worst moment of a family’s life. This has no place in compassionate maternity care. The SNP should stop indulging ideological dogma and focus on safe maternity services and proper support for grieving families.

Free-to-read link. Q Manivannan’s story has everything modern Green politics requires: A luxury-progressive biography. A carefully polished hardship narrative. A private education awkwardly hidden behind public virtue. A visa problem nobody seems to have thought through. Holyrood deserves every ounce of ridicule it gets. thetimes.com/uk/scotland/ar…

Tonight, Russians attacked Kyiv with drones and missiles, killing 2 people and injuring 44. Their targets? Residential buildings, a school, a metro station people use as a bomb shelter (it was damaged, and a man inside was injured in the blast), and a market. This is genocide.

A farmer dies in April 2026. His son inherits the farm. The farm has been in the family since 1847. The farm consists of: 300 acres of grazing pasture, a farmhouse built in 1892, a barn, a milking parlour, two tractors of varying ages, a Land Rover that runs about 70% of the time, and a herd of 180 Hereford-cross cattle. On paper, the farm is worth approximately £3.2 million. This is because land near him has been bought recently by a London hedge fund looking for carbon credits, which has dragged the comparable value of every field within forty miles upward to a number nobody local can justify. In cash, the farm produces a profit of about £28,000 a year in a good year. In a bad year it loses money. The son also works as a fencing contractor three days a week to keep the operation viable. The inheritance tax bill on a £3.2 million estate, even at the reduced 20% rate, comes to approximately £140,000 after the increased threshold is applied. The son does not have £140,000. The son has never had £140,000. The son has £4,200 in his current account and an overdraft. The son sells 60 acres to a developer to pay the tax. The developer puts solar panels on the 60 acres. The remaining herd cannot be sustained on the reduced land. The herd is sold. The barn becomes a holiday let. A different family eats Brazilian beef this Christmas without knowing why the price went up. The Treasury collects £140,000. The land never produces British food again.

Harrowing interview this morning on Laura K with one of the rape victims. I hope and believe the outcry will make a difference to the sentence in this case. No other family should go through the trauma of a rape trial only to see the assailant let off, but more families will if we let the Gvt’s changes to sentencing for young men go ahead. @NJ_Timothy is doing brilliant work to stop this. The Gvt must listen.

FSU member and prison officer David Toshack was sacked for refusing to call male prisoners “she/her”. Over five weeks of training, David was widely praised for his efforts. He participated thoughtfully in discussions, including those on managing transgender prisoners. David made clear he would treat all prisoners with respect, use their chosen names, and adopt neutral language where appropriate. However, he explained that he could not, in good conscience, use pronouns that conflicted with biological sex. This position went unchallenged until the final week of training, when the safeguarding lead asked David to leave a session after he reiterated that he could only use sex-based pronouns. Minutes later, he was taken into a meeting with a senior trainer and HR and dismissed with immediate effect for being “not suitable” due to his “strong beliefs”. The company claimed his refusal was incompatible with “the law”, despite his belief being protected under the Equality Act 2010. No attempt was made to accommodate David’s beliefs, even though he offered a respectful compromise through neutral language. He was escorted off the premises the same day. Normal disciplinary procedures were ignored: no warning, no written record, and no opportunity to be accompanied. After he appealed, the company changed its justification, alleging he had expressed his views aggressively — an accusation contradicted by its own records. Thanks to the generous support of donors, David was able to proceed with his claim of belief discrimination earlier this year. With the help of the Free Speech Union, his legal team has now submitted a notice of appeal to the EAT, arguing that the Tribunal overlooked the clear connection between his beliefs and his actions, and failed to properly consider whether dismissal was proportionate. We are once again asking for your help to defend the right of David — and thousands like him — not to be compelled to act against their conscience by ideologically driven employers. As the appeal will set a binding precedent across Great Britain, the case has only grown in importance. If you can, please donate to David’s crowdfunder below 👇

in the process of inflicting suffering by bombing the city russia also destroys the memory of tragedies that happened before

Oh great … Lammy wants criminals under the age of 25 to be treated as CHILDREN. So if a 24 year old sexually assaults someone, it’s because they are just a child and didn’t know any better. This is going to work out so well isn’t it? Utterly bonkers 🤡

When Pelicot was arrested for upskirting, the police asked Giselle to accompany him to the station She assumed it was standard. Instead they separated them at the station & asked her about her sex life If she had multiple partners If she was a swinger If she was ‘kinky’ 1/6

This. If it was about wanting somewhere safe and private to pee, third spaces would be fine. It’s not. It’s about claiming territory, validation, and winning. Dominating, intimidating and humiliating women is the point.

🚨WATCH: Teenager who was raped by two teenage boys, who were SPARED JAIL TIME, has spoken out 🇬🇧 “The words hit like a rock, straight in my face - He almost made it seem like what the boys did was not okay, but it was okay, in the eyes of the law, because they were still children.” Absolutely heartbreaking, could you imagine having to go through trauma like that to then be dragged through the courts just for your rapists to let off with a slap on the wrist? A complete travesty of justice.

The BBC’s failure to cover the GIDS scandal has been a serious dereliction of its public duty. After resigning as a governor of the Tavistock, I was involved behind the scenes in the 2019 Panorama programme on GIDS. The producer warned me I might be disappointed the programme would expose only one part of the scandal, not the whole story. That warning told me everything I needed to know about the BBC’s problem with impartiality on this issue. When Sue Evans and Keira Bell won the first judicial review, there was no serious follow-up from the BBC News, Woman’s Hour, or other major outlets. Nor was there adequate coverage of one of the most important findings of the Cass Review: the poor quality of the evidence base behind medical interventions for children and adolescents with gender distress. Instead, the BBC repeatedly broadcast positive stories about transition while failing to investigate the harms, uncertainties, and institutional failures surrounding this field. Sue and I have seen some of the casualties. Parents have been badly let down by professional bodies that lacked the courage or independence to challenge the affirmative model none of which received the scrutiny a public broadcaster exists to provide. With honourable exceptions in Newsnight and the Today programme, the BBC has failed young people, failed parents, and failed in its most basic public duty.

Driver's license being required for a waitress job I saw ages ago is what made me realise it's all bullshit

“The only lawful basis on which prisons can be operated is through complete segregation of the sexes, based on biological sex. That is because separate-sex prisons are necessary to meet the rights and needs of female prisoners” crimeandjustice.org.uk/legal-opinion-…
