The prime minister and former director of public prosecution suggested that the vile bigot should not face criminal prosecution. If that is his view, then who are we to judge?
After all, the executive does have the prerogative to choose to withhold justice, doesn’t it?

I want to make a note on how none of this is biological or inescapable.
Most men are taught to be men by hearing "don't be a girl" yelled at them, by being praised for repressing their pain, for acting dominating. But anyone can choose to reject that, it's just most cis men find it too convenient.

I just had a Nat MP's post suggested on my fb feed and a real easy action you can take is asking how they feel comfortable letting their health minister breach BoRA and when they'll take a stand about it. You probably won't get a reply but they should be hounded.

My left foot is badly sprained, and walking is painful. It’s given me a new perspective on how inaccessible much of London is.

I think I now have sufficient material to write the British legal history of transphobia but I don't have the time. Can I just hire someone else to write it?

![A framed, square artwork with a complex, symmetrical design resembling a high-end silk scarf, displayed against a dark blue wall. The artwork features a light turquoise background with a central square illustration of a sailing ship, a world map, and a crown. Radiating outward from the center are four figures: two depictions of Queen Victoria holding a scepter and two men in red military uniforms. The outer border is lined with detailed rectangular vignettes depicting scenes from the British Empire, including maps of India and Africa, the Taj Mahal, and illustrations of colonial labor and plantations. Above the artwork, faint text printed on the wall reads, "Fortunes have been made out of tea and rubber plantations, yet the villagers are left on the borderline of starvation [...] under British rule food crops are of secondary importance."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5kydynj3pme74rk5ynru3m6d/bafkreic4xq3sotnlxfulxgxbyc4yl7wlm2mq4yxegwf66j76n5hfpahdxu@jpeg)

Trade folk (including myself) are unconvinced there is much of a growth dividend for Rachel Reeves from agreements with India, EU, and US. Just as there's no evidence of positive impact from independent UK trade policy since 2021. www.politico.eu/article/rach...
Rachel Reeves hopes trade deals can save Britain’s budget. Economists aren’t convinced.
With a difficult budget looming, the chancellor has increasingly turned her gaze overseas.

This has been happening for years and instead of doing anything to protect children successive governments have made the situation worse. This isn't just on councils. It is part of failings on a State level.

Just to clarify: we don’t actually know whether Hilary Cass recommended a ban on puberty blockers. The Cass Review itself doesn’t say that. Instead, the DHSC sought “evidence” from three “experts”, including her, which was kept secret.
I think Wes Streeting revealed quite a lot in his tweet.

Was Shahrar Ali’s high court claim against the Green Party dismissed for being out of time? I think a claim was recently struck out, I’m just not sure if it was his or someone else’s.
