This.

My gender is Dorothy L. Sayers ("not very feminine, but intensely female") and/or Jo Walton ("this is a perfectly valid way to be a woman"). I absolutely refuse either to perform MAGA womanhood, or to cede womanhood to them.

We've just learned that the person at the MHRA whose letter caused Wes 'I follow the clinical evidence' Streeting to cancel the puberty blockers trial is Professor Jacob George, the GC who enjoyed mocking trans people on his social media account.

Why did Wes Streeting cover up his name?

“Humiliated Nazis” is the genius new 28mm release from Bad Squiddo Games, and THEY MUST BE MINE!!!

Former Chief Medical Officer calls out Streeting’s highly politicised ‘trial’ of puberty blockers. Meanwhile @goodlawproject.org have uncovered a spike in trans youth ending their own lives because they can’t access appropriate care. This is a national scandal.

I really look forward to your further thoughts Brenda!

Maybe you're too cool to be involved with model boats, but that probably means you've never seen a Russian submarine being chased by an angry Moorhen:)

I am struggling to accept this is not fake … I mean, what?!?

It is wrong to stop people fleeing war and persecution from having the ability to come to the UK legally and claim asylum. The Home Office's proposals punish vulnerable populations and are using these communities as scapegoats.

I have written to the Home Secretary to outline my deep concerns.

I just saw a headline saying ‘failed asylum seekers to be offered up £40000 to leave UK’ … it’s probably nonsense … but if it’s true might it not be better to get them to stay, get a job and pay actual tax into the system?!? 😬 I know … I’m being naive/thick …

Love you so much xx

Cover of The Gospel of Eve by Rachel Mann with quote ‘A page-turning thriller’ The Telegraph

Probably for the best that no one dresses up as a character from my novel The Gospel of Eve for #WorldBookDay … though I guess ordinands at colleges like Mirfield or Cuddeston might do so unconsciously… #BookChat

Reform fury as someone else wins by Our By-election Editor Tim Shipsink The losing candidate in the Gorton and Denton by-election, Matt Goodwhinge, has demanded an immediate re-run of the election on the grounds that he lost comprehensively to someone else. "It's totally unfair and rigged," said Goodwhinge. "I shouldn't be required to sit there and suck it up, just because I lost." Mr Goodwhine continued, *I can't believe that all those voters I demonised failed to back me. Especially after I was endorsed by Tommy Robinson and ten million Russian bots on X. "We have clear evidence of family voting, where people voted in order for me to stop deporting their families." Mr Badloser concluded. "I'm the victim of colour prejudice. They didn't vote for me simply because I'm not green." Reform leader Mr Farage, speaking from a sun lounger on a rock near the Chagos Islands said, "It's a tragedy that the people of Manchester won't see Matt in Westminster, but my constituents don't see me in Clacton either."

Beautiful from Private Eye on the massive toddler-tantrum that Matt Goodwin and Reform are having, because they got whooped in Gorton and Denton.
