Last year my wife had breast cancer and a double mastectomy. This morning, for the first time ever, she was challenged in the changing rooms at the swimming pool. Her breasts were not what make her a woman - but, breasts or not, she is entitled to dignity and protection from vigilantes.

BBC News website is still running this disgraceful front page headline. Presenters should not be expected to "keep quiet" on basic human rights abuses. And his past record of speaking out shouldn't be conflated with his error re the rat reposting (I didn't know that was an antisemitic slur either).

I can't stop thinking about how the "Gender Critical" response to hundreds of leading UK biologists signing a letter saying sex isn't binary or immutable is "I can't believe that school kids know more about biology than these biologists". Can you imagine saying that out loud without thinking?! Mad

Shamima Begum was a child when she was groomed by ISIS operatives. She has paid heavily for her mistakes, made as a 15year old. If she were white she would not have had her citizenship stripped from her and would be home now with her parents.

This isn't a Brexit reset. It's a face lift. Some of the most visible symptoms get a bit of correction: holiday queues & touring musicians. But the fundamental problems surrounding trade, investment, agriculture, fishing and freedom of movement still remain. It's lipstick on a pig. A wasted chance.

Owners of 236,500 properties in England and Wales worth £64bn are hidden behind opaque trusts. Appeasement of the rich facilitates corruption, illicit financial flows. Compare this to how govts treat the poor. Soon their bank accounts will be snooped on.

A cowardlt piece from #BBC. Gary Lineker spoke out about fascism, putting morality before career, and paid the price. Ok, he made a mistake with his choice of symbol, but fascism is fascism whoever perpetrates it. He did right. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This can fuck right off. A womans body is her own. It does not belong to the state. This is abhorrent.
