RESULT: Nicusor Dan, the centrist mayor of Bucarest, will be the next president of Romania. A big loss for the far-right: its candidate George Simion got 41% in round one, but didn’t grow enough, & turnout surging worked against him. Simion is down 54.3% to 45.7% with 96% reporting.

Huge concern about, why now and who triggered this new police policy. Police taking the position of healthcare providers to assess stillbirths is a draconian step back to the Victorian era. Smells heavily of interference from Family Party etc.

I can only conclude from McKenna's weird alliance-seeking with an organisation with deep sectarian roots, that oppressed Scotland's Irish Catholics for centuries, that he's simply more concerned with being allowed to impose his beliefs on other than the wellbeing of the community from which he came.

Very pleased to say, we've at last managed to get up some practical guidance on what the For (Some) Women Scotland decision means. Tl;dr it's absolutely not what the bigots in Government or the bigots leading the misnamed EHRC are telling you. goodlaw.social/1c68df

Blimey, this is next level from Kishwer Falkner! Despite the bullying, the mass resignations, the whistleblowing, the ticking off from the UN, the blatant transphobia and... a 🤯 story we expect to break next week, you're not allowed to question her integrity?
