Staggering to watch pretty much every news outlet in the country report that Sandy Peggie has won her tribunal case despite her losing on almost every count, and despite the ruling stating that the Supreme Court FWS judgement does *not* require trans women to be excluded from women's spaces.

Two marvellous #poetry collections, reviewed with sample poems and links on #SixtyOdd poets. Both very different, both romantic yet contemporary. Have a break, have a coffee, have a kit-kat (if there are any in the house), and have a read.
What I've Been Reading 3
Just the two collections this month, but both are quality.

Personally I think we should legalise drugs.
Portugal shows it makes them safer, reduces crime and we stop criminalising those who are in need of treatment.
Weirdly it also reduces use and addiction rates. So if you hate drugs you really should be in favour of bringing the trade into the light.

If a Prime Minister is brought down by being too cruel on asylum policy - which is not the most likely option but feels plausible right now, which is new - what does that do the debate? Is it too much to hope that draws some kind of line?

Completely beyond why people try to defend Labour record on treatment of asylum seekers. They are awful.
They have done terrible things the Tories never even thought of, like denying any refugee who came here through irregular means from EVER becoming a citizen & ENDING FAMILY REUNIFICATION. demons.
