UK ranks down with Russia for gender recognition.
Farage will be proud. We have to hold mainstream media responsible in a large part for setting the tone of tolerance here (and no, it's not a "debate" to discuss if a minority exists or not).

I’ll have to digest the budget fully, but it seems to me that the SME manufacturing industry in the UK has been thrown royally under the bus in this budget

All the supposedly progressive people saying 'Nigel Farage's racism doesn't matter. His fans love it'.
It matters whether the leader of the party leading all the opinion polls is an outright racist. It matters if he called black people 'wogs' and said 'gas them' to Jews. Not everything is a game

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.

Labour's anti-asylum policies are already fundamentally inhumane and discriminatory. Applying them retrospectively is pure cruelty though. It serves absolutely no purpose. Meanwhile it will increase the costs and bureaucracy of an already dysfunctional Home Office.
