This @TrevorPTweets interview with @ZackPolanski needs to be shared and viewed as widely as possible. I've never before seen an interviewer give a proper focus to Polanski's dissembling and refuse to let him get away with his usual evasions. It's a masterclass in the importance of serious scrutiny, which is now so lacking in broadcast journalism (with the exception of @TrevorPTweets) youtu.be/7VkfYJgLljE?si…

“Don’t try that one on me” Watch as Trevor Philips skilfully cross-examines Zack Polanski. To Polanski the hate marches are “peace marches” & he has no room for anyone else’s view of them. As always with extremists, their own views Trump anyone else’s.

So right, James! Watched last night & even more painful upon review. She's arguing food poverty is the source of racial hatred. Cutaway to incredulity of fellow panelist priceless. Utterly bonkers analysis denying the reality of her party’s platforming of antisemitic bile.

Boy oh boy oh boy… This just about sums it ALL up… Man asks clear question. Moderator immediately panics. Politician is permitted to get away with talking rot. Man receives no answer. Rinse & repeat…

A shower screen shattered all over my wife this week. Over the next 72 hours, the NHS got almost everything wrong. A cautionary tale of a system that is broken (with the usual caveat that everyone working in it is doing their best) 👇 I called an ambulance. All good at first: “It’s on its way.” Ten minutes later: “Actually, there are no ambulances for hours - can you get her to hospital?” So I loaded my bleeding wife into the car, along with the kids and the dog, and drove to A&E. Ten hours later, she came home - having given up after not even being offered a plaster. The next morning, we called our GP: “Any chance she could see a nurse?” “No - as the ambulance referred her to hospital, we can’t see her.” So I went to the pharmacy and bought a first aid kit. Because apparently that’s where we are now - me and a pack of plasters, in one of the richest countries in the world. This morning, still in pain, still untreated, and with a ballooning foot, we went to an urgent treatment centre. At first, smooth. She was seen in under two hours. X-ray done. “Nasty cut, but nothing broken.” Relief. Two hours later, the phone rang. It was the hospital. “Sorry - we got that completely wrong. Your foot is broken and the wound needs antibiotics.” If it wasn’t so serious, it would be laughable. And the truth is - anyone who uses the system has a story like this. We need to stop clinging to an idealised version of the NHS and have a grown-up conversation about how to fix it. Free healthcare for all should remain a principle - but pretending the current model works isn’t helping anyone. Almost every other developed country combines public healthcare with some level of private provision - and all deliver better outcomes as a result. Yet in the UK, even suggesting that tends to get shut down before the conversation starts. That’s not protecting the NHS. It’s protecting a cult. We don’t need ideology. We need honesty about what works. We need a brilliant NHS in practice for all of us - not one we’re told to revere while it quietly crumbles, and where anyone who speaks up is dismissed or discredited. When are we going to get serious about the things that actually matter - and have the difficult national conversations needed to fix them? We don’t need to abandon the NHS. We need to be honest about fixing it. We shouldn’t just shrug our shoulders. We have to be better. We need to vote for real change.

That's because I wasn't interested in being used to boost the viewing figures of a pair of exceptionally arrogant men whose understanding of this issue drips with classism and misogyny, @campbellclaret. If you're genuinely interested in a debate I'm at a loss to understand why you're uninterested in interviewing @ForWomenScot, who secured the Supreme Court victory and are therefore THE leading voices on this issue. But perhaps your charming daughter has adequately represented the entire Campbell family's view, by describing them as 'ugly' women, with whom she wouldn't 'want to be in a room'?

Fascinating that Green voters demanding a ban on the Grand National for animal cruelty suddenly short-circuit when you ask if they’d also ban halal and kosher slaughter.

I ran into the antizionist doorknockers tonight in Brighton and asked if they knew Hamas is on the committee that leads their boycott campaign. They shrugged, denied, and pretended it was all fine. I asked if confirmed would they stop their campaign. Guess what they replied.

@SportSEENuk @talkSPORT @iocmedia @Olympics How can a journalist, who has covered this issue for at least two years, still be falling back on "Michael Phelps has big feet and long arms" as an argument? This is see no evil, hear no evil stuff.

Another day, another idiot on national radio embarrassing themselves obsessing over the body parts of Michael Phelps. That takes it to his wingspan, capacity to buffer lactic acid and now flippers for feet, as reasons why we might as well just not protect the female category.
Ross Tucker@Scienceofsport

I see Michael Phelps’ arms are all the rage here again today. Which means a bunch of people who understand neither sports performance nor biology (of sex, in this case) have emerged to argue for a single human category in sport and total male dominance without realizing it

This is breathtakingly atrocious from Natasha Devon. Khelif is a “cisgender women”, invites Webberley on as an “expert”, says “intersex” as common as red hair. @LBC you need to issue many corrections & apologies for these lies & propaganda.
teresa smith@treesey

Wonder how Natasha Devon is allowed to get away with broadcasting such misleading, anti-scientific rubbish on LBC about sex differences & the IOC? Also: using Webberley as an ‘expert voice’ on the science of all this? 👀
