Kudos for these women for standing up and doing the right thing but they're trying to ban trans women from e-sports now? Absolutely ridiculous.

"Loose Beaver?"
Norfolk’s wildlife mystery of the year. A beaver has appeared in the wild on the River Wensum for the first time in 400 years. Somewhere there is a breached beaver enclosure, but none of the nature reserves admit to losing one! Here's the intriguing story ⤵️

This is a vital step in stopping Trump, but will inevitably lead to a showdown between local police and ice. Given the tactics of US law enforcement, it will almost certainly result in someone being shot.
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara issued a stern warning to his officers on Thursday: Intervene when you see Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents using unlawful force or lose your job.

Over 1 in 4 of police forces in England and Wales still haven’t implemented basic policies for investigating sexual offences.

That’s why we’re supporting Nina Cresswell to hold the police force that failed her to task:

Last week, I spoke at a Notts TUC event on how to combat Reform UK and the far-right.

I criticised the government’s latest immigration policies and stressed that more than ever, the trade union movement must stand firmly united in the face of rising hate towards migrants.

I regularly see terfs, both the "pink ladies" and other varieties at far-right rallies. Standing alongside people preaching National Socialism.

TERF = Neo-Nazi

Any woman who had "genuine concerns," has long since walked away from the transphobic racists.
A supposedly grassroots anti-migrant movement led by 'ordinary' women, which is backed by Reform and Conservative politicians and is regularly invited onto news channels to promote their views, is funded by a far-right group and has platformed a Neo-Nazi activist

#Palestine: [UPDATE 3.12.2025] Photojournalist Mahmoud Wadi was killed by an Israeli drone strike in Khan Yunis, southern Gaza, on 2 December. We condemn his killing and call for justice. The perpetrators of crimes against journalists must not go unpunished.

We all desperately want to clear the courts backlog seeing victims withdraw from the criminal justice process.

But the backlog was caused by chronic underfunding, not juries.

Restricting jury trials would undermine our democracy and right to a fair trial, and may even be a false economy.

That Girl Guiding statement is a heartbreaking attack on little girls.

Tonight isn’t about the Law - we’ll come back to that - it’s about reaching out to your local Guides, people who volunteer, people who run things locally…

Journalists are civilians under international humanitarian law.

Facilities and equipment utilized for reporting and disseminating news are also civilian structures.

They must be respected and protected.

Journalists are #NotATarget.

Tom Stoppard was an amazing writer. His work was clever and witty but written with such skill that even my dyslexic brain could grasp its beauty.
RIP Tom Stoppard. He left a fantastic body of work - playful with language, and serious about ideas of democracy, liberalism and freedom.
