In London today. When I have to be in London I always get my clothes out the night before - less to think about!

This morning I got dressed, put my hand in my trouser pocket...to discover Maya the puppy had eaten all the way through to the outside of the trousers making a large ragged hole!

2. In the last year, many pseudoscientific organizations and anti-transgender activists have worked to prop up misleading claims to imply that gender-affirming care is ineffective or dangerous.

Now, a new study completely contradicts that narrative - it actually saves lives.

I really wish 'gender critical' activists would grasp that we're not too scared to agree with them.

We think they're malicious idiots. if anything, we're scared to publicly *disagree* with them, because they harass, bully and dox women who don't buy into their cultist nonsense.

wes streeting conducting trials on puberty blockers is no different from robert kennedy jnr conducting research in to links between autism and vaccinations.

it's a pantomime and a sham with predetermined outcomes designed to push a bigoted narrative.

“The Supreme Court is wrong”

Fin.
11/ It is clear that the Regulations referenced the medico-legal fact of gender reassignment, and it does modify the interpretation of sex and gendered terms. No reference was made to the religious or legal fiction of a so-called biological sex.

The Supreme Court is wrong.

This (from: www.ft.com/content/75ce...) is something you can *feel* if you are in the UK, especially if you've experienced living abroad. But infuriatingly successive governments and our entire media are somehow absolutely committed to suggesting anyone who wants to change this is the devil...

Not sure how Starmer dare call anyone, even Farage, spineless! Government by focus group and Daily Mail headline doesn't suggest a strong leader. The man is a jellyfish

Having Johnson & Cummings in Downing Street when Covid struck was, just like Brexit, an entirely avoidable disaster caused largely by utterly appalling journalism. And now exactly the same clowns, arses & bigots with bylines are rolling out the red carpet for Farage.

What a shocking waste of opportunity this government has proved to be.
It has squandered its time and attention on ridiculous fiscal rules, persecuting refugees and trashing ecosystems in the name of growth, while failing to deliver what we so desperately want.

Autistic rest isn’t laziness.

It’s recalibration.

Everything in your system works harder.

Of course recovery takes longer.

Honor that.

They rowed back on income tax rises cos the backbenchers were upset, and they thought they could get this past them.

Do you even politics, bro?!
Lots of Labour MPs asking Mahmood tonight to rule out child detention. She won’t rule it out. That’s because forced removals of families will mean children in detention for periods.

Home Office ruling out deportation of lone minors but the changes will certainly mean more detention of children.

Labour MP Brian Leishman: "The Government has surrendered to... the vile rhetoric of Reform. Does the Home Secretary not see that removing the legal obligation to support asylum seekers who will be otherwise destitute, is as far away from Labour Party principles and values as we can get?"

The overton window now seems to be one of those little arrow slits in a castle turret (with the exception of the Greens)
Asked about Tommy Robinson supporting her asylum plans Shabana Mahmood replies that "Tommy Robinson doesn't even think I'm actually English, so he will certainly not be supporting anything I've got to say."

But he is supporting what she's got to say. That was the point of the question

I hope every Labour MP considering whether to support Shabana Mahmood's asylum plans remembers Nigel Farage's assessment that the “Home Secretary sounds like a Reform supporter.”

If they support them they will too.
