Can’t help but agree with most of the comments here - how was he ever a lawyer let alone DPP? Shameful behaviour.

The Starmer stupidity story continues. How long before the terfs realise that rapists no longer need to drag up to enter female toilets but just need to claim they are trans men. Meantime trans women forced to use male toilets will run increased risk of so called “corrective” rape.

Sending love to my trans sisters today.
You are recognised.
You are seen.
You are women.
(Feeling rather less keen on the hetero women determined to assure me that “lesbians want this”. Not this lesbian & not the vast majority of lesbian women I know.)

Brexit felt like the biggest betrayal in my lifetime of who were are in this country.
Never thought it would ever be surpassed, yet here we are in 2025 with a Labour government aping the US and cruelly punishing the poor, sick and old for not being profitable enough!
Despicable lack of humanity!

Genuinely, what's going to happen? Mass homelessness of people with serious disabilities?

What would she say to him? Here was her answer:
“Fuck off.”

Happened 2 days ago and, this time there was a hole - Hester can’t both be in police custody and at a family dinner too can she… #sigh #amrewriting
Woke up at 4am worrying about a new/not-noticed-until-now plot hole in my manuscript. Stressed so much I didn’t go back to sleep.
Cold light of day: there is no plot hole and my stupid busy brain was just messing with me
Result: tired 😴
