EXCL: Nicola Sturgeon refused to comment and sat in silence for hours during her police interview - despite publicly claiming to be "cooperating fully" with cops thescottishsun.co.uk/news/16305227/…


I hope Emily Eavis will agree to visit the Nova music festival memorial site where hundreds of Israelis were massacred. It’s haunting. It would help her understand better why so many are appalled at the way Glastonbury has platformed death chants and hatred.


@LordWalney Can you define what ‘trans person’ means, please?

I’ve been writing about Andy Burnham in Manchester for a while. We’ve had a few run-ins but I think he has qualities that many people don’t appreciate and weaknesses that spell trouble. I wrote this for @ManchesterMill - I hope it’s insightful and fair. manchestermill.co.uk/stop-looking-f…

Apparently, the easiest way to deal with disorder at a trans protest, according to this ugly predatory pervert, is to take animal training clickers. Just use the clicker with an amplifier, and apparently many of them will just “drop to their knees and start drooling like a dog”.


Single-sex spaces - such as changing rooms and toilets - must be used on the basis of biological sex, new guidance from the equalities watchdog has confirmed. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…




Man who claims to be a "trans woman" calls for burning women at the stake. As usual, he calls female critics "ugly" and claims to be "way hotter" because these men reduce women to pornified sex objects - it's a misogyny fetish

Food inflation skyrocketed after the Tories & Reform’s botched Brexit. 😐 So I’m campaigning to bring prices down and cut the cost of living, starting with a UK favourite: the meal deal. 🥪 It’s time to give something back to the grafters out getting their lunch. ✅

Alongside the Community Security Trust and Antisemitism Policy Trust, it was a pleasure to hold a regular catch up meeting with John Woodcock, @LordWalney earlier today. For a number of years, he has been a strong and consistent supporter of our comminity. Since the terrorist attacks, and on every issue affecting the community, he has shown real moral clarity, courage, and leadership. It was good to have the opportunity to thank John for his support as he has been outspoken when it mattered most, standing firmly against extremism and speaking up for the values of tolerance and mutual respect.
