@MailOnline It is utterly shameful that in a European nation in 2024 a Jewish woman cannot even leave her hotel room as her life may be in danger from a baying mob of vitriolic antisemites below, some even calling for her to be deported simply because she is Jewish. Such short memories.

Paapa Essiedu is a great actor. I wish they gave him an appropriate role. He is not Snape. Making Snape black transforms the character and story in unsavory and ridiculous ways.

I don’t believe McSwindle had his iPhone stolen. 🤷🏼‍♂️

@mar2vickers @flammenjc @AngusMacTout @paulhutcheon @Malcolm_Offord Interesting, coming from someone I respect. I’ve honestly heard worse at drag nights & in gay bars, Mar. I think it’s hardly original, & quite boring, but I really think the journalistic frenzied outrage around it is cynical & manufactured.

@flammenjc @AngusMacTout @RobbieTravers @paulhutcheon @Malcolm_Offord The National have published it in the interest of transparency. It is grotesquely unfunny in its offensiveness. It's not a bit of off-colour innuendo, it's not a joke that's 'dated' badly. It's not an off the cuff bit of 'modest' homophobia. It is personally vile.

NEW: Scottish Labour say Reform Scotland leader Malcolm Offord must consider his position after telling a vile homophobic joke about George Michael. I know what the "joke" was, and it is off the scale awful.

@NikitaBassiSNP You literally claimed that lesbians can have a penis, Nikita & that gay men can have a vagina, I’d be a little quieter touting your anti-homophobia credentials.

Malcom Offord's homophobic remarks are disgraceful & have no place in public life. He's unfit to lead & unfit to sit in our Parliament. Reform's politics has long been rooted in bigotry and this is just the most recent example. When someone shows you who they are, believe them.

@Malcolm_Offord Malcom, these politicians are outraged by a joke that would be seen as frankly tame at one of their bawdy drag events. Ignore it. Nobody cares for this concocted outrage.

The media have been having another pop at me, so here are the full facts for the public to judge for themselves: Eight years ago, in 2018, long before I was appointed a government minister in the Lords, I gave the Burns Night after-dinner speech at a rugby club before a large crowd of members and their friends, wives, husbands, and partners. I must admit, I’d had a bit to drink by then, and finished with a crude joke about the late George Michael, as I had been connecting his songs to Burns’s works. It was intended to be funny through being edgy and shocking, but I’m no Frankie Boyle or Ricky Gervais. Instead of being funny, I made members of the audience uncomfortable and instantly regretted it. I immediately apologised to the club, and made amends by voluntarily donating to the King’s Cross Steelers, the original gay-inclusive rugby union club, to support their travel and participation in the Bingham Cup in Amsterdam. I then also arranged a fixture between my club and theirs. So that’s the whole story of what happened eight years ago. Most of the media won't publish the joke, but I see that the general gist has now been reported, and I don’t want to sully your screens with something so crude.

@siennamarla @BeerInStemGlass Please note that Sharon is campaigning against men being wrongly included in female sporting categories. Trans women are male, & thus men. It is important to report this accurately.

A big character has joined the Lords as a new Tory life peer – Sharron Davies, now Baroness Davies of Devonport We talk about: — did she pee in the pool to put off competitors? — being trained by her father, a tough coach who made her swim with two broken arms as a child — bringing tights, make-up and magazines to East Germans and Russians while competing against them — meeting doped East German swimmer Petra Schneider, who tried to give Davies her medal — her campaign against trans inclusion in women's categories politicshome.com/news/article/o…

@HMorrison97 @ScotNational Is that it?

🚨 We're publishing Malcolm Offord's vile homophobic joke We knew what it was, so thought the public deserved to know too. You can read more about @ScotNational's decision to make this information public here 👇

@Helenas_world @SkyNews Why are you so angry with the nature of reality & dimorphic sex being described accurately, sir?

@RobbieTravers @SkyNews I can help you with accurate language, bitch! You're a bigoted cunt! Clear enough for you?

It would be fascinating to know which trans people Denyer is referring to here. The vulnerable children who have other problems (autism, anxiety, eating disorders, etc)? Or the men who transitioned well into adulthood and therefore have no experience of puberty blockers?

@SkyNews @sapphitweet Boys. If you are male, you are a boy or a man. Please use accurate language when reporting on this matter.

@MonicaLennon7 You know what wasn’t beyond the pale for you, Monica, placing dangerous criminals in the female prison estate & eroding the rights of women & girls by erasing their rights to single sex services…

Malcolm Offord’s reported comments are beyond the pale. There is absolutely no place for homophobia in our politics or our Parliament. It’s clear that Farage’s man in Scotland and their “fruity” Reform UK candidates are unfit to serve as MSPs.

She's SUCH a wretched, pathetic coward. Nicola Sturgeon tells Glenn Campbell she'll never say that Isla Bryson is a man.

@PFOKane @paulhutcheon Like when you refused to meet any groups that opposed the GRR bill, Paul?

When someone shows you who they are believe them.

*Victory for the genderists?* Govt is consulting on establishment of Digital ID scheme for the UK. The core data to describe 'who you are'? Sex has been left out: 1/

@TalkTV @JuliaHB1 @AndrewBoff Andrew Boff behaves like such a child on this issue, when @CforWomenUK & I were in the queue for the @LGBTCons event, he childishly hissed & produced a trans flag as a cape & then muttered about how “TERFs” should be removed from the conference. It was pathetic, sad to say.

JHB: "Is there a single man in this country who needs to wear a 'Baby on board' badge? Andrew Boff: "I don't know..." JHB: My god! You should not be in office. And you wonder why people aren't voting for you anymore!" @JuliaHB1 | @AndrewBoff

@Con_Tomlinson @MrNChance Does it not occur to these officers that potentially your wife might as hold “right wing” views? I know they have a duty to investigation, but holding “right wing views” is not enough as a threshold to require police intervention. Even more concerning.

@MrNChance No, only that I was "a right-wing guy" and that people might have a problem with that. I have to stress, both officers were good men, and saw it was malicious right away. So they were in no way interested in trying to criminalise political opinions.

Just had the police show up at my door, investigating an "anonymous" domestic abuse and "coercive control" allegation made against me. Two officers spoke to my wife, and concluded it was malicious and politically motivated. The police were professional and apologetic. I won't share their identities when they were just doing their job. They shouldn't have their time wasted like that. But this is a new low. Disagree with me about anything you like, but leave my family out of it.

@Con_Tomlinson @SymondsSally This is absolutely disgraceful, especially when anyone in the domestic violence & women’s right sector knows that police are stretched thin & many women are LUCKY to receive any form of investigation. The weaponisation of the police against political enemies is utterly wild.
