I have an exceedingly high bar for this, but in all seriousness, if they were to do this, it might be my 'leave the country'.
This feels like getting ahead of a potential wave of jury nullification incidents.

Imagine coming up with a proposal so stupid, so unworkable, so thoughtless, that it makes Robert Jenrick look sane by comparison.

I get that these articles are mostly click/rage bait, but I do wish journalists would ask the people more questions as often their answers really do not add up and it makes you think they're setups. Like couple #1 here:

Since the beginning of time, man has yearned to destroy the Sun
A 25-person startup is developing technology to block the sun and turn down the planet’s thermostat.
The stakes are huge — and the company and its critics say regulations need to catch up.

Only about half of the current residents of the UK were even alive in 1975 so this doesn't add up
"What is certain, and felt instinctively by almost everybody, is that things cannot go on in their present way" – The Times, May 1975
“It is difficult to imagine a previous period when such an all-pervasive hopelessness was exhibited at all levels of British life” – Professor Stephen Haseler, 1975

"As someone working in law, it’s heresy to say this, and it might even kill my chances of a career... But as a trans person, and someone fighting for the rights of my community, I refuse to remain silent. To me it just seems obvious: a heavily prejudiced society produces prejudiced institutions."
It’s no surprise that only 31% of trans people trust a legal system built to enforce prejudice, says Jess O’Thomson.

Trans women are already banned from all of the sports at an international federation level already. This framing is a lie aimed at hiding the fact they're now going after other women that they don't like.

They've changed it back again now, but changing a quote is a huge red flag. The BBC are repeatedly demonstrating that there are ideologues directly interfering with the meaning of stories they report relating to trans people, and this should be a far bigger deal than it is
In this piece, admitting the BBC has broken its impartiality rules re. trans people, the BBC further breaks its impartiality rules by changing a quote saying "trans identity" to "trans ideology".

Saw a news report yesterday about children as young as 9 being given weight loss jabs on the NHS, and I think it shows just how utterly bullshit the “lack of research into long term impacts” excuse for banning puberty blockers for trans kids really was. It’s purely ideological.

Why do people keep badgering Bluesky to let them have private accounts? Why does social media like this need private accounts? We already have a million places for private conversation. People just use it for harassment, I don't want it.

Ok but Christian Calgie is the Express political editor. He's a journalist. And in his frame, he's "got them" to commit to this. I mean, that's weird, isn't it? Isn't that a strange thing for a journalist to say?
This from X is a striking example of what I argue in today’s column. Reform and the Tories are out here gleefully saying disabled people on Motability should be forced to drive a 3-wheeler, like a scarlet letter. The stigma is not an accident - it’s the design.

As a trans woman in the UK, it's comforting to know that if I'm ever brutally murdered by people motivated by vicious hatred, that my family can avenge my death by embarking on a polite campaign to ban young people from using self checkouts, the real culprit in my demise.

A much underrated reason for the absolute death of bricks and mortar retail is that every time you just want to make a quick purchase of a single £30 item, you're stuck behind someone serving someone with a query over £1.27 that takes 15 hrs to resolve

Further, there is a near 100% guarantee that conveyors etc will still charge to verify an identity in these circumstances anyway.
