No one wants to harm Parkrun @parkrunUK it is a fabulous event. I’m spent my life trying to get people more active. That will carry on. My point is a simply one of fairness & equality. 28 women’s records are held by men, over 200 1st places in the women’s category have gone to men. More every weekend. It’s demoralising for those women wanting those places & records. This only goes one way. Women just want their own course records & places based on the reality of biological sex, which matters in physical activity. There are ways that extra categories can be added. So records & places remain, which is what the vast majority want to happen, which proves there is a competitive element to Parkrun as it stands. Hence a 30k petition to bring them back. Everyone runs together dresses as makes them happy. Non of that changes but simply enable a fair female category for females please?

🚨NEW: Bluesky will not be included in the under-16s social media ban

In 2025, "An entire team - 50 girls - lost the state championship because the boy won the (girls’) pole vault event, which gives you 10 points, and that girls’ team lost by 1 point… that person probably affected at least 100 girls that season.” - Coach Allen Cornwall The Maine Women’s Lobby - and many others - continue to say that it’s “not happening here” and it’s a “manufactured crisis”.  There’s a word for that: GASLIGHTING. If a female wants a female only space or sports opportunity she is owed that by law. Period. Same with Males. This isn't a new concept nor a new right - this is a reclamation of Sex-Based Civil Rights that have existed for 54 years. Anything else is sex-based discrimination of young female schoolchildren, and it's sexist, regressive, and illegal. Sex-based discrimination cannot continue in our schools, and we believe the solution is inclusive and progressive. Testimony in Augusta on 4/14/26 made it clear that: 🚨 Males are in female private spaces (bathrooms and locker rooms), every day. This is commonplace 🚨 Males have been reported to be masturbating in female safe spaces at school (as testified by school children and parents) 🚨 Males have won female state championships even last year, and continue to play in female sports across the state 🚨 Young female students stay quiet and are scared to bring this up, as adults have made them feel as if THEY are the problem for not being OK with males in their safe spaces and their sports The ballot referendum to "Designate School Sports Participation & Facilities by Sex" protects the Sex-based Civil Rights of ALL kids: ✅ The act designates all competitive school sports and safe spaces (bathrooms, locker rooms, showers) by Sex. ✅ Sex is not Gender (definitionally, legally, scientifically) ✅ The act respects Gender Identity while recognizing biological fact, designating all competitive sports and private spaces in public schools by innate, immutable Sex. Every human has a Sex (Sex includes ALL identities)! ✅ We have the progressive belief that there is no right or wrong way to be a male or female! Dress, feel, present, identify how you want. Sex is big enough for everyone. ✅ Nobody is banned. Ever. Everyone plays sports and accesses private spaces, simply designated by Sex.

In the early hours of this morning, I directed our Armed Forces to intercept a shadow fleet oil tanker attempting to pass through the English Channel. This successful operation delivers yet another blow to Russia and reminds those fueling Putin's war in Ukraine that we will not let them hide. I want to thank those involved, including our Armed Forces and law enforcement officers who keep this country safe 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

I own 158 changing rooms and none have individual cubicles. Stop speaking for perverts

Gut wrenching to see four young people jailed for direct action against an arms supplier to Israel. Years in prison for protesting to save lives in Gaza, with 'terrorism' used despite no jury convicting them of it. A truly dangerous attack on the right to protest.
