The DUP didn't turn up either leaving it to the TUV (Jim Allister) and UUP (Swann) to oppose, SDLP and Alliance supported, SF not in parliament. Jim was furious, as usual.

You know what? I always assumed the flying magnetic killer disc from I Come in Peace was a rip off the Smart Disc from Predator 2, but looking at release dates now I think it’s the other way around. ICIP filmed in early 1989 and screened in early 1990, well before P2’s late 1990 release. Huh.

The world's richest man is wasting your money and mine because he's a big baby who doesn't want the rules to apply to him. As a nation, we must destroy his power.
I see Elon Musk is personally suing (along with X Holdings Corp) the Irish media regulator Coimisiún na Meán, in High Court proceedings filed yesterday. Hearing is due January 23rd.

15 years ago today the Tory & Lib Dem government tripled tuition fees.
Young people, our economy and society are robbed of the learning and skills universities offer- whilst graduates face average debt of £53,000.
Education should be a right, not a privilege. Scrap tuition fees.

I spoke in Parliament today to challenge the misinformation from those claiming this tribunal as a 'win' for the anti-trans agenda.
In fact it found Ms Peggie harassed a colleague for being trans, and it dismissed almost all her claims.
It also found that trans segregation is not supported in law.

We've written & published a short summary statement regarding the Sandie Peggie V NHS Fife Health Board employment tribunal case & the judgment given yesterday. Much of the media coverage has missed key information, the most important aspect being that all claims against Dr Beth Upton were dismissed

The Peggie reporting really does show that 1) the media is inherently transphobic and 2) they really will take the contents of press releases issued by anti-trans organisations as factual, despite the spin having been revealed again and again, eh
