When even US lawyers are going “woah, that’s a bit immoral for me”, you’ve probably reached the end of the line.
DM me? We used to get hundreds of highly qualified applicants for a single job posting. Good prosecutors are increasingly hesitant to work for this DOJ.

Rachel Reeves: "It is not right that people who don't go to university bear the cost for others to." I don't use local leisure centres and I don't drive, so will I be made exempt for taxation that pays for all that stuff? Or is it only education we'll be going after

While circumstances vary, this case goes to show that organisations committed to trans inclusion can fight the bullshit from the likes of Sex Matters.
It also gives the lie to the feeble capitulation justifications made by the Guides and WI. Hopefully this will give them courage.

One of my final papers at university was about “the electronic panopticon”. It was about the use of pervasive monitoring of call centre staff and how they were the “dark satanic mills”of the late 20th c.
Centres backed off from it because it killed morale and productivity and was always subverted.

The UK urgently needs digital sovereignty. What is alluded to here but not explicitly stated is that an enormous and growing proportion of critical infrastructure depends on US SaaS - specifically Amazon, Microsoft and Google. This ties our hands when dealing with that country.

Labour are losing voters to the left and the right, but three times as many to the left. It shouldn’t take a genius electoral strategist to work out which way to tack.
24% of people who voted Labour at the last general election now plan to
vote Green or Lib Dem.
0% of those who voted Reform at the last election now plan to vote Labour.

Absolutely this. The contrasting approaches are:
1) Humour the megalomaniac in the hope that he will eventually change his mind/lose interest/die.
2) Accept the new reality and do the work to plan for the consequences.
Only one of these is visible and has a chance of successfully managing the risk.

Absolutely this. Our future lies in Europe, politically and militarily. Could we really rely on the USA to support us or even side with us in our hour of need? Even if yes, at what price?
NATO needs to change into something that works if (when?) the US de-facto withdraws. Urgently. Or be replaced.

When we said a nuclear weapons system relying on the US is dangerous we were called stupid.
The truth is the establishment are more interested in kissing US feet than keeping the UK safe.
It's time for a rethink.
