Can we stop with the marmalade thing. We can still use it it’s just we need to add “citrus” to marmalade as other fruits are used in the EU. Hardly newsworthy…

I wholeheartedly welcome the new IOC guidelines that secure a safe and fair female category that excludes male athletes. SRY screening is a simple, non-invasive, once-in-a-lifetime check that returns female sport to female athletes. Laurel Hubbard should not have been allowed to lift weights against women. Caster Semenya should not have been allowed to run against women. Imane Khelif should not have been allowed to punch women in the face. This is a vindication for all the brilliant women who have fought for fairness and safety for all women in sport. Thank you to Kirsty Coventry, Jane Thornton and all those in the working group for a clear, evidence based policy. @iocmedia

Here's a handy guide for confused journos, and anyone else who might find it helpful The IOC organises sport for Males and Females separately. Male and Female refer to biology, specifically, gamete production. Males should not be in the Female category. All 'trans' people are either Male or Female. Male trans people (trans-identified males or 'transwomen') should not be in the Female category. This is because they are Male, not Female. People with DSDs are all either Male or Female. DSDs are all either Male or Female DSDs. For example, 5ARD is a Male DSD. MRKH is a Female DSD Male people with Male DSDs (like 5ARD) should not be in the Female category. This is because they are Male. Female people who are trans, (trans-identified females or 'trans men') are eligible in the Female category, so long as they comply with antidoping rules. This is because they are Female. Female people with Female DSDs (like MRKH) are eligible in the female category, so long as they comply with antidoping rules. This is because they are Female. All trans people and all people with DSDs are welcome in, and eligible for sport, in the right category. Hope this helps.

@LibDems No you don’t.

The Express asked us about awarding the Patsy Carlton Prize to Cllr Chris Northwood. This is our response: "This prize acknowledged an exceptional woman in Cllr Chris Northwood. The message it sends to women members and voters is that the Liberal Democrats honour and value all of our women members."

RT @jk_rowling: The Sandie Peggie employment tribunal is currently exposing, as perhaps no court case to date has, the issue of class as it…

If you’re going to arrest the managers for not spotting murder, you may as well arrest the pathologists who performed the six post-mortems, the coroner who got it wrong at inquest, the visiting team from the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, the Care Quality Commission inspection team, the child death overview panels, Dr Jane Hawdon and everyone else who failed to spot and report the murders that were so obvious to Dr Dewi Evans. The police could go after all of them for gross negligence manslaughter.

I have been informed by a whistleblower at Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust (@LG_NHS) that, even after the Supreme Court judgment, men are still being given unfettered access to women’s changing rooms. @wesstreeting - This has to end. Now.

The Supreme Court ruling has really amplified just how captured our organisations are. I've never seen so many emails from worried people concerned with how their place of work has responded to men being told they can't come into our private spaces. If you have concerns and wish to share we have a secure contact form where you can share correspondence and remain anonymous. Please let us know the name of your employer. letwomenspeak.org/contact

There’s a big difference between “let people be” and “let a bunch of men take away all of women’s sex based rights”.

Act now @wesstreeting . There is no 'nuance' or 'complexity'. It is very simple and clear. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

We are thrilled that the Supreme Court has used common sense: sex is biological. We all knew this anyway and we shouldn't have needed the highest court in the land to make this declaration. Now it's time for @wesstreeting to protect women's safe spaces in the NHS all across the UK by issuing guidance making it clear that only biological women can use female single-sex spaces, such as changing rooms and toilets.

Enough is enough. The UK's biggest trade union @unisontheunion no longer supports women who don't want to undress in front of men at work. The Darlington Nurses have therefore faced no alternative but to start their own union to protect women in the workplace. Their case, supported by the Christian Legal Centre, began when a man without warning, identifying as 'Rose' and backed by an NHS policy, began using the female changing room at Darlington Memorial Hospital. The nurses raised concerns with HR, but instead of being supported, were told they needed to ‘broaden their mindset’ be more ‘inclusive’, 'compromise' and get 're-educated.' The Darlington Nursing Union (DNU) is believed to be the first of its kind and has now been launched with three founding principles: 🚨Equality and respect for all workers regardless of their protected characteristics (including both gender reassignment and biological sex). 🚨Securing and defending workers’ rights, dignity and decency at the workplace (including in particular access to safe single-sex areas for changing and hygiene, and protecting women from inappropriate exposure to members of the opposite biological sex). 🚨The right to raise concerns about any genuine workplace issues without fear of retribution, and to have such concerns addressed promptly, constructively and reasonably. The union is free and it can run alongside any other union membership. It is also not just for nurses and any healthcare professional can join. If you are a worker who believes in biology, not trans ideology, and want women's spaces protected, don't suffer in silence, get in touch and join the Darlington Nursing Union (DNU). Direct messages are open or contact info@darlingtonnursingunion.uk . Courageous NHS Fife nurse, Sandie Peggie, has recently joined... #HoldTheLine

Women are organising. Now is the time for every political party to decide whether it wishes to protect the rights of 51% of the population, or continue to pander to gender activists. thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/24628298.…

. @ICC Care to answer?

@BBCSport @BarbraBanda11 But he’s male with a male DSD who’s failed sex tests, the same as Semenya & Khelif. It’s so sad the bbc are actively encouraging the destruction & loss of opportunities for female athletes in sport. I’m so disheartened & dissappointed they are actively cheering this unfairness on

What an impressive piece of interviewing this is from @alexaljoe. To have the poise to speak in two languages simultaneously, remembering the answers and translating for the audience at home, all when live on camera is remarkable.

In today’s @PrivateEyeNews, I ask why lead prosecution expert Dr Dewi Evans has not even been contacted by @Thirlwall_Inq to give a statement and to give evidence. He diagnosed definitive murders where dozens of others had failed, and he thinks if he’d been called in earlier, he would’ve stopped Letby in her tracks. Surely the inquiry needs to hear this? I also don’t understand why the police have not been in touch with him after he passed on another 25 suspicious cases over a year ago (and has recently spotted a 26th). And finally, I don’t understand how all the independent experts for the prosecution spotted murder and attempted murder but no substandard care. Whereas experts who have looked at the case notes since, have spotted seriously substandard care but no definitive evidence of murder. How can experts looking at the same notes hold such different views? All in @PrivateEyeNews

The first thing you do as a doctor if you suspect a death may have been caused by deliberate harm is to tell the Coroner everything. The Coroner then gathers information to investigate whether a death was due to natural causes or not, and whether a doctor can certify the medical cause of death. If not, the Coroner will ask the police to investigate. So even if your managers are reluctant to call the police, it should happen anyway if you’ve kept the Coroner fully informed. Why did this not happen at the Countess of Chester hospital?

@davewebb1988 I thought that too 😂
