When you think about it, "men cannot be women" is probably one of the least controversial things you could ever say. The fact that activists managed to reframe it not just as an opinion, but as a radical one, is astonishing. Even more astonishing is that so many people, including our politicians, went along with that narrative.
131 MPs have now signed my motion to stand up for trans people and stop the EHRC's Draft Code of Practice coming into force. For it to succeed, the motion needs to be debated and voted on, so I asked the government if it will allocate time. Unfortunately the Leader of the House did not make that commitment. We will continue to press for a debate and a vote. Please encourage your MP to sign EDM 240.

Childless Public 18 % MPs 33% Greens MPs 60% These wokists don't represent the public. They clearly present a danger to children and to society at large.

Despite my efforts, and a tied vote, Councillors decided that the historic Hillhead Baptist Church is to be demolished after 143 years standing proudly on the corner of Cresswell Street and Cranworth Street. A depressing outcome.
Tomorrow, Glasgow City Council's Planning Committee will decide the fate of the listed Hillhead Baptist Church. I will be making the case for Councillors to reject the demolition application, on behalf of the 378 people who have objected. My full letter: pauljsweeney.com/post/planniโ€ฆ

A judge in Sweden has jailed a man for just four years and five months after he forced his wife to provide sexual services for over 120 men in exchange for money. The defendant - who has not been identified - used threats of death and extreme violence, drugs, security cameras, isolation, and the remoteness of their home in order to force his wife to participate in his moneymaking venture. The court heard that at various times, the defendant threatened to kill his wife, pour gasoline on her, burn her alive, and cut off her fingers. He also drugged her and used a network of home security cameras to control her movements. Shockingly, the court dismissed 8 counts of rape against him because it claimed to be incapable of establishing that the victim had not slept with her abuser voluntarily. I donโ€™t know about you, but if Iโ€™m afraid that my husband is going to cut off my fingers and set me on fire, Iโ€™m not going to feel safe in denying him sex. Youโ€™d think a judge would be smart enough to understand that, but standards have declined sharply in that field over the last few decades. bbc.com/news/articles/crlwxgโ€ฆ

Amnesty's message to vulnerable young women: get your healthy breasts surgically removed and you can be one of the cool crowd too. Amnesty bookshop in Kentish Town uses this dangerous and irresponsible messaging to celebrate Pride. With a backdrop of the trans flag of course.

My son reminded me throughout that Denmark match that I promised to take him to the World Cup if we ever made it. Heโ€™s right, I did, so here we go.

Intriguingly, word reaches Wings that Stephen Flynn is not currently at the World Cup because the US Government revoked his ESTA shortly before he travelled, for reasons currently unknown. The SNP are trying to keep it quiet.

Unemployed disability benefit recipient Euan โ€œSophie Mollyโ€ Weddell raised money ostensibly to get his boyfriend an operation at the weekend, by claiming to have walked 25km from somewhere in Aberdeen to Inverurie. Did he really, though?

Weddell posted numerous pictures and videos along the way as โ€œevidenceโ€. However, all of them were close crops of him standing near generic foliage or walls, without a single identifiable landmark.

The @ForWomenScot Supreme Court judgment applies to all parts of the United Kingdom. John Swinney can't simply pick and choose which parts of the EHRC's guidance he likes and believes should be applied to Scotland. At the same time, he must rule out resurrecting Nicola Sturgeonโ€™s dangerous Gender Recognition Reform Bill. Women and girls deserve better than this rotten SNP Government. heraldscotland.com/news/2619โ€ฆ
