The legal situation on this in NI is both better and worse than the rest of 🇬🇧. Ignoring that complexity and pretending a ruling which only impacts legislation which has never applied in NI somehow still had to be followed? Always unsustainable.

The government’s disability cuts will have a “devastating” impact on women’s health and dignity and could breach equality law, experts warn. The new rules won’t take into account menstruation or some women’s extra toilet requirements. My exclusive: www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

The "number of people normally cited as killed" (~50k atm) is the number which Gazan health officials have confirmed killed by violence. To be part of this number, an identifiable body or a witness must be brought to a hospital and issued a death certificate. Every hospital in Gaza has been bombed.

This!!! Forcing trans women to use the male toilets in parliament is to put us at risk of sexual harassment or worse by the demographic most likely to engage in sexual assault… MPs.

The issue with terrorism legislation was always that it allowed authoritarian governments to take sweeping action against organisations they find problematic. This slippage was always the point. The word "terrorism" has been rendered utterly devoid of meaning if some red paint suffices.

personally I think it's far more objectionable to refer to a pregnant 13-year-old as a 'woman' than to refer to a cis woman as a 'person', but what do I know

I grew up in Northern Ireland, surrounded by terrorist organisations, many of which still exist publicly and openly. I have never said I support any of them. I do not support any of them. I support Palestine Action. They are not terrorists.

And literally negative domestic support. 60% opposition, spread across party lines and including much of his own elite and rank and file base. Are there precedents for a democracy starting a war with this much active opposition?

It's notable that the only student speech frequently shut down on university campuses is a) pro-Palestine b) pro-trans-rights. The OfS seems deeply unconcerned about that speech being limited. In fact, they want academics who oppose those positions to have the right to 'shock and offend' students.

I fully agree that people should be shocked and have their preconceptions about the world challenged at Uni. That's why I am inviting representatives from ISIS to deliver a presentation on why the king needs to be murdered and a new Caliphate installed in Britain.

I don't know how many people understand that disabled people are looking at losing £450 a month, every month, potentially for life. Money that pays for the help, aids, and adjustments that they need to exist in the world. There are disabled people who wouldn't survive these cuts.

SCOTUS upholds the anti-trans law that singles out trans kids for discriminatory treatment. How do I know? Non-trans kids are allowed unmitigated access to the exact same treatments (puberty blockers).

Tonia Antoniazzi has been vocally anti trans. Her amendment was the less good option. Her response to the Supreme Court’s judgement suggested the only reason she could see for anyone showing trans support was coercion… …yet this is still too much “women’s rights” for GC transphobia:

I had an abortion in my 20s - I know how important it is that women have control over our own bodies and don't face criminalisation for our choices. I am so glad to be 1 of 379 MPs who successfully voted to decriminalise abortion today - an historic vote to protect a woman's right to choose.
