1. It would appear that in recent reporting, the BBC is now using the phrase "biological male who identifies as a woman" when they mean to talk about a transgender woman.
This is an incredibly demeaning way to talk about transgender women in news pieces.

Earlier this week I had this debate about wealth taxes, austerity and spending.
The Labour MP attacks me repeatedly - Labour Government have taken to doing the same thing.

With regard to your budget, please listen to Hilary from our village. She’s married to Roger & sings soprano in the church choir.
People aren’t bothered about the minimum wage or income tax.

Capital flows to the energy sector are set to rise in 2025 to USD 3.3 trillion.
Around USD 2.2 trillion is going collectively to renewables, nuclear, grids, storage, low-emissions fuels, efficiency and electrification, twice as much as the USD 1.1 trillion going to oil, natural gas and coal.

Most people hear “heat pump” and think of small air-source units at home. But Germany is building one of the world’s largest heat pumps in Mannheim: a 162 MW river-source system using heat from the Rhine.
Big reminder that heat-pumps scale far beyond households — they can decarbonise whole cities.
