My favourite memory from my recent holiday to Gran Canaria was being on stage at a drag cabaret show, sitting on the lap on a drag queen, and being asked what I did for a living. I said I was head of PR for TESLA and was solidly booed by several hundred audience members. Superb!

I’ve been offline for a bit, but I’m just guessing that in the past 24 hours: 1. Rowling expressed another awful opinion 2. Trump did something monumentally stupid 3. Badenoch exercised the political judgement of a toddler

Badenoch’s vindictive nature is far greater than her political judgement. She should be appalled that two UK MPs - of any party - were detained and then deported from Israel. But she just couldn’t help herself, and chose to side with Israel because the MPs were Labour. An awful, awful human being.

I don’t know why I’m watching BBC news at ten. But its coverage of the Le Pen ruling is a disgrace. When will the BBC news team just give up the ghost and admit they’re no longer even pretending to be impartial. Its right wing bias is sickening.

Prosecutors want Le Pen's punishment to include ineligibility from running for public office for five years. Crucially, they want the ineligibility to start straightaway – which would scupper her hopes of running for president in 2027. #MarineLePen

The gender critical movement is one of the most disproportionately resourced campaigns I've ever seen. And yet, after five years of ferocious GC activity, women and girls are no safer - the only measurable impact is a massive rise in hate crime and violent crime against trans and non-binary people.

DEI isn't about giving underqualified, poor performing colleagues pay rises and promotions just because they are a woman or from a minority group. DEI is about reducing the number of underqualified, poor performing colleagues who get pay rises and promotions just because they are a white man.

Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson says students must be "have their views challenged and be exposed to uncomfortable truths." So trans students, living away from home for the first time, should expect to have their very existence rejected by gender critical adults working at their university?

ANOTHER government review about trans people without a single trans person consulted. The BBC parroting the Government’s line without including a single opposing voice. Streeting accepting the recommendations in full because of course he is. I’m never voting Labour again. #TransRightsAreHumanRights

Our 13yo does not attend a private school, but is learning guitar and piano, and regularly performs at music concerts. There are also services at his school to support children with SEN. I can only assume Alexander lives in an incredibly deprived area if none of his local schools offer similar.

Starmer: Confident, respected, centred and smart. Johnson: Isolated, shambling, scruffy. A joke. How satisfying that in this dangerous era, we have a Prime Minister who’s respected. And who’s not an idiot.

Reform's showing in the polls is not a reflection on its campaigning and publicity. It’s a reflection of the BBC and the rest of our right-wing media disproportionately promoting it, with little or no challenge. If Reform suffered a fraction of the scrutiny of Labour, it would be polling at 5%.

To stop the far-right surge, politicians must do 3 things: * address the issues (e.g., immigration) by giving people the facts * attack misinformation on social media, in the national media and promoted by right wing politicians * make it illegal for politicians to knowingly spread misinformation

You just know the hosts on all these idiotic TV and radio discussion programmes, who are working their hardest to normalise the far right by 'innocently' playing devil's advocate every day, would have been sat there in the 1930s asking their audience; "But, doesn't Hitler have a point?"
