Please think of my family members, in prison in Iran. The uncertainty is awful. And sign the petition c.org/cZDPWTfZn8

@L10nheartUncut @WomensRightsNet @WRNAfghanistan If you don’t want to buy merchandise from the WRN, a simple Google search will bring up half a dozen charities asking for donations to help Afghan women.

@WomensRightsNet @WRNAfghanistan What proportion of the £32,50 for a top and £18.50 for a mug goes to Afghan women and girls, and how does this happen?

CAMPAIGN LAUNCHES TODAY 🌹🌹 Red Flowers 🌹 for Afghan women and girls. Beauty and hope from a stony ground. Read more about the latest WRN campaign to raise awareness about the plight of, and support, women and girls in Afghanistan. 🧵 1/ @WRNAfghanistan

We must never forget the women of Afghanistan.

@Baroness_Nichol @bindelj Yes.

@bindelj Dame Jenni Murray was the swallow whose unwilling flight showed up the BBC’s degeneration

Terrible, tragic news. She was the best. Treated really badly by the BBC after she dared to speak out about you know what. She was absolutely disgusted with the powers that be. Maybe it will all come out now. Jenni was a true journalist, no one quite like her.

@Rolo_Tamasi @PaulBrandITV Read up on what happened when the excellent (in principle) Liverpool Care Pathway was rolled out across the NHS. Why do you think this “care” pathway would be any different?

@RuthlessTweets @PaulBrandITV Stop lying. It is exactly not a law that allows the state to kill people. You need to read it and to face up to the reality that it is suicide that doesn't allow people who assisted to be prosecuted.

EXCL: 65% of people back the assisted dying bill, just 14% oppose it, as it’s held up in the Lords. One dying man pleads with peers from his hospice bed to give him a choice. ITV News is featuring stories from both sides of the debate as time runs out. itv.com/news/2026-03-1…

@dstephenh99 @PaulBrandITV I am sorry your father suffered. However, this law is flawed and dangerous. None of the medical colleges support it and neither do any of the charities that support the dying or the disabled. Those of us who have worked in the NHS know how such a law would be misused.

@RuthlessTweets @PaulBrandITV As for the distress element. My distress is at remembering him begging me to help him die and me not being able to. I can’t forgive myself for that. He’d had enough, tapped out and I couldn’t fix it. He had Parkinson’s, we knew he was dying, we prepared. His death was a mercy.

@kimleadbeater Terminally ill people want love, care and compassion, not a quick death for the convenience of their relatives.

Absolutely right from Lord Pannick. Scrutiny & debate is welcome, but having sat through many of these long debates in the unelected chamber what we have seen repeatedly over the last few months has gone far beyond this. All terminally ill people want is choice & dignity😔

@BBCBreaking A wonderful woman who supported women. When she was forced out, @BBCWomansHour lost their way completely.

Dame Jenni Murray, who presented the BBC's Woman's Hour for more than 30 years, has died bbc.in/4bkxpjW

@ddhitchens @JohnSlinger The Lords are doing their job. This is a terrible and dangerous bill. Why don’t you campaign for decent palliative care for all and a properly funded hospice service?

@JohnSlinger Public has not been polled on the specific (extremely controversial) provisions of the bill. Do you agree with Falconer that if you request AS “because in your mind you are influenced by your circumstances—for example, because you are poor,” the NHS can give you lethal drugs?

1/ A small minority of unelected peers are filibustering the Assisted Dying Bill to death with over a thousand amendments. The elected Commons passed it. The public backs it. I will keep fighting until the will of the people is honoured.

@Rolo_Tamasi @PaulBrandITV It is exactly that.

@RuthlessTweets @PaulBrandITV It isn't a law that allows the state to kill people. Why lie?

Shining sea yesterday #AmWalking the beach.

@HarrietHarman The wonderful Jenni Murray was “cancelled” by the BBC because she was willing to say publicly that men cannot become women. Can you do the same?

Impossible to overstate the importance of Jenni Murray to the movement of women that changed our politics, economy & our society; that changed our lives. She was the broadcasting wing of the women’s movement. We all owe her. RIP. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@Moonlight_myths My dark haired daughter, and her dark haired husband, produced a red haired son. It’s not unusual. I have cousins who were vibrant red heads, so probably carried somewhere in our genes.

My sister gave birth to a red-haired daughter. But she and her husband are both dark-haired. No one in our family has red hair. My sister insists that her husband's great-grandfather was red-haired, and that's how it was passed down. Her husband didn't believe her, especially since she has this one red-haired colleague at work. Anyway, he insisted on a DNA test, which they did after huge fights and screaming matches. My sister threw the paper in his face. It showed 99.9% he's the father. But he still doesn't believe it, says the test could have been faked or someone paid off the lab. He wants to do another one at a different lab, but my sister is afraid this will definitely lead them to divorce He's not even talking to my sister right now. But he says it's better to find out the truth and live with a clear conscience. He doesn't want to raise someone else's child. I believe my sister 100%, but I have to admit the situation is pretty bizarre. Does anyone know anything about genetics?

@ripx4nutmeg @sunpath2 And this is one reason I no longer have a TV licence. Time to #DefundTheBBC

The BBC has rejected complaints that it was inappropriate, in a Woman's Hour discussion about misogyny, to have a cross-dressing man on to talk about his experiences of it, saying he is a "renowned sociologist" who "shared her academic expertise"

@SurrogConcern @jeangenie22 @Axiasan @DHSCgovuk Good grief. Poor baby.

@Axiasan In England a judge awarded a parental order to a couple last year for a US born surrogate baby. The London couple were 72 years old. We have written to @DHSCgovuk many times to alert them. Nobody gives a damn.

“Celebrity” hairdresser George Northwood has had a surrogate born son: in South America we presume, judging by the sign above the hospital door. Your reminder that commercial surrogacy is banned in Britain.

@lascapigliata8 Yes. Absolutely.

There are few things worse than being raped by a doctor. It not only harms the victim like all rape does, it severely compromises her ability to trust medical professionals, leading them self-exclude from healthcare, causing huge additional harm. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@dilanesper As a lawyer and a litigator, you should understand the importance of accurate language. Calling a male person by female pronouns is inaccurate and confusing to the reader/listener. Honesty and clarity are important in communication.

As long as there's a debate over trans issues, there will be disagreements over pronouns. As I said, they are uninteresting and add nothing to the discussion. I already know that a bunch of people call trans women "he"; I don't need to be "corrected".

If I do a thread about a trans woman and call her "her", and you come in my thread and "correct" me and say "you mean him", I'm probably going to block you. Beyond expressing prejudice, you are being immature and uninteresting. It adds nothing to go into threads and say that.

@dstephenh99 @PaulBrandITV Your distress at watching the elderly and vulnerable near the end of their lives is understandable. But not an excuse for euthanasia.

@RuthlessTweets @PaulBrandITV I’m not subjecting myself to that regardless of the outcome. Suffering the Indignity of others having to clean up after you because you can’t make the toilet is something I don’t want to experience. No such thing as good end of life care. We’ve all seen enough loved ones die

@denbypottery @UltraUna986 This is very sad. I have Denby pottery and love it.

We need your help to #SaveDenby! We are sad to share that we may be forced to close and a British institution could be lost. We need your help: 1. Share this post 2. Sign the government petition 3. Buy Denby 4. Visit us at the Pottery Village Read more: denbypottery.com/pages/save-den…

@horseyisaweecow @sharrond62 @adamndsmith You clearly don’t know anything about Sharron

@sharrond62 @adamndsmith Perhaps you'll answer me this time Sharon: for decades, unfairness in women's sport has been driven almost entirely by the use of illegal drugs - both at elite and domestic level. Anything to say about that?

One TERF complained that, theoretically, a trans person could take part in this course. As a result, the entire course has been shut down. Just another example of transphobia harming women
