The Desert, the dessert

Corbyn’s team were playing with the Labour Party? She should have spent more time with the regional staff, then she would have known what playing was.

@bbcquestiontime You are responsible for the financial hit that Brexit landed on us because you made Farage. You’ve learnt nothing from that, you Oxbridge educated shills

On Question Time from Lincoln this week: Jacqui Smith, Kevin Hollinrake, Alastair Campbell, and Nigel Farage Would you like to be in the #bbcqt audience in Lincoln on Thursday 5th Dec? Apply here now: bit.ly/3PKVLIP

@mickpr1 @sazmoyse @ian_m_mcculloch @joenutt_author @DamianLow3 Honestly, that is sanctimonious nonsense.

@sazmoyse @ViciousViscous @ian_m_mcculloch @joenutt_author @DamianLow3 100%. Many regional independent schools have partnerships with state schools to offer some 'free' places

When critics say Labour are going after private schools, what’s actually happening is they’re just making them pay tax. Making them pay tax could raise up to £9 billion. Money that can be redistributed into public services. What is so bad about that?

@sazmoyse @ian_m_mcculloch @mickpr1 @joenutt_author @DamianLow3 I think the people who managed to pay 10k a term for school fees are going to be okay.

@ian_m_mcculloch @mickpr1 @joenutt_author @DamianLow3 A term's notice is required to withdraw a child, January is mid-year. How many state schools still had places available for September (new school year) in the summer?

@Annie_McFannie1 @legaltweetz You never talk about your life outside of work with anyone at work? They don’t know if you’re married? Have a hospital appointment? Had a difficult house move?

@legaltweetz Can’t imagine bringing my lifestyle and identity to work

A judge apologized to me today for misgendering me several times in the past during court. During the election, it had been brought to her attention that a trans attorney was quite unhappy with her. My best friend went to vote in that city, and when the judge’s campaign came up to her, she said no I’m not voting for the judge because she misgenders my friend. This bothered the judge. She went and found my friend and they had a whole conversation about it. My friend didn’t say it was me, but the judge knew who she was talking about. When my hearing was over this morning, she pulled me up to the bench and sincerely apologized for all that & shook my hand. Saying she definitely respects transgender people. Progress, folks. That’s progress. Sometimes it takes one person at a time. Don’t discount those battles.

@StevieR60 @mlothianmclean She just said it’s not about this guy.

@mlothianmclean He’s moaning about not being able to pass his farm on. He’s lying.

What Julian says. I have one failed assist after another. Today I pressed the alarm for the first time (I couldn’t reach them the times before). The driver then told the whole train via announcement that because of a wheelchair user not getting assistance the train is delayed. So all eyes on me. Wheelchair users need very thick skin when travelling by train.

Brilliant from @rohantalbot here to @CommonsIDC on the fact every single measure demanded of Israel to alleviate the humanitarian situation has not been implemented. It is also worth adding that, on top of this, the Knesset has moved to ban UNRWA.

@tonydawg1411 @DG_Bossu @ErinInTheMorn Tony, you’re the snowflake.

So this is fucked up. I was at Arlington Cemetery with my fiancée this weekend for Veterans Day weekend and found Albert Cashier… in the women’s memorial… deadnamed. Albert was a trans man Union army patriot forced to wear a dress in the hospital when he died of old age.

@rugby4912 @JohnBre87398841 @thran_legacy These guys can only defend their idol by insulting a woman. As expected.

@JohnBre87398841 @thran_legacy My wife is a prominent pathologist in the US and has been published in a number of medical journals. Her sub-specialty is gastrointestinal pathology, which means diagnosing cancers and various diseases in the GI tract, liver and pancreas. What is your expertise?

I genuinely wonder what is causing his abdomen to be so distended like that

"there seems to be a worrying number of gender critical women that support Trump". The word I'd use is predictable.

Ladies: If some piece of shit tells you this at school, or in the workplace or even on the street - FILE A SEXUAL HARASSMENT REPORT - It's SEXUAL HARASSMENT. File a report, press charges. At school, file a report. At work, contact HR and file a report.

Oh what a surprise, the electoral college has done it again.

If only that actually meant something, but we all know that the only democracy in the US is electoral college democracy 🤷‍♀️

@guardian It feels like most children's literature is chosen and promoted to appeal to the types of kids who don't actually like to read. Is this also why libraries seem to be less used?

Have you ever read a book trust book? Put Cynthia Voight and Robin Jarvis back into print and stop giving kids absolute dross to read. That will attract the ones who want to read. The rest have other interests 🤷‍♀️
