The ยฃ5m Farage took looks increasingly like his redundancy. Mail and Telegraph both moving over to Restore, and, more significantly, Musk now backing it. British politics obviously isnโ€™t going to get any healthier, but Farage now looks a busted flush.

So appears I'm not liked by at least 1 senior govt adviser. That's a badge I'll happily pick up off the floor and wear with dignity and honour. Here's a hint. Sort out the water industry, fix our rivers and you need never speak my name ever again. Massive thank you once again to Patrick Galbraith @PaddyGalbraith and all at the @Telegraph for the coverage and support. instagram.com/reel/DZkxUeMguโ€ฆ

Woman acquitted of sending persistent emails to cause annoyance to the PM, foreign minister and her MP about Gaza. So, she sent emails about Gaza, so her local MP @peterkyle reported her to the police? Imagine how much time and money was wasted on this. doughtystreet.co.uk/news/briโ€ฆ

i wonder if people outside of britain know a senior government minister is actively trying to get a major opposition leader (Zack Polanski) arrested for hypothetically tweeting โ€˜Yesโ€™

Do you support the Palestine Action group?

JK Rowling wants you to think she is being silenced. That she is the lone voice of reason. That by defending biological sex she is defending women. I have read her essay. I have looked at the science. Here is what is actually true. Her arguments are dishonest. Her concerns are manufactured. Her legacy is not empowerment. It is harm. She says sex is real. Nobody disagrees with that. But she presents it as a simple binary when biology has never been a simple binary. Intersex people exist. Chromosomes vary. Hormones and anatomy do not always align in the way she describes. She paints the world in two colours because the full picture does not serve her argument. She says trans people using bathrooms is a threat. The data says otherwise. When Massachusetts introduced trans inclusive public accommodation nothing changed. No increase in crime. No spike in assaults. The only thing that changed was that trans people could use a toilet without being in danger. The people getting assaulted in bathrooms are trans people, particularly when forced into the wrong ones. She does not mention that. She mocks inclusive medical language as if public health should centre her comfort rather than reach everyone who needs care. That language exists so trans men and non-binary people are not excluded from menstrual health services. It does not erase women. It means more people get the care they need. She cites rapid onset gender dysphoria as though it is a clinical diagnosis. It is not. The study that coined the term was based on parent reports from online forums, not clinical interviews with the young people being described. Every major medical body rejects it. She keeps repeating it because it sounds alarming. Because if you say social contagion often enough people stop asking for evidence. She says youth healthcare is dangerous. Puberty blockers are reversible and have been studied for decades. The evidence shows they improve mental health outcomes in trans adolescents. Suicide rates are higher in young people who are refused care. If she had read the literature honestly she would know this. The question is whether she has read it and chosen to ignore it. She says most people regret transition. They do not. Regret rates after gender affirming surgery are around one percent. Most people who detransition do so because of external pressure, family rejection, housing loss or job loss. Not because they were not trans. She knows what the research shows. It does not fit her narrative so she leaves it out. She says trans women in prison endanger other women. Trans women placed in menโ€™s prisons are significantly more likely to be raped or assaulted. The US Supreme Court addressed this decades ago. She says she is protecting women. She ignores the ones her logic puts in danger. She says trans women in sport are categorically unfair. The science does not support a categorical position. Hormone therapy reduces muscle mass and strength. Effects vary by sport. That is why most sports bodies are developing nuanced sport-specific guidance rather than blanket bans. She does not want nuance. Nuance does not generate the response she is looking for. She says she is asking questions. But questions have consequences. Every concern she raises has a downstream effect. It shows up in legislation. In bathroom bans. In protest signs outside hospitals. In children being denied healthcare. Her words are not neutral. They travel. They arrive somewhere and that somewhere has a body count. The woman who built her legacy on a story about love defeating hatred is now building a new legacy on fear. She has aligned herself with organisations listed as hate groups. She has become a figure celebrated by people who do not care about women, do not care about children and do not care about anyone who is not useful to their immediate political goals. She is not standing up for women. She is standing on trans people to elevate herself.

Afd is now at 29 percent. Afd will win big this September, unless @cducsubt @spdde wake up and do what they said they would do. (Which could still happen) Afd will run on blocking Ukraine & all enlargement. As will Bardella. Ukraine needs something credible, not symbolic, now. The recent Macron-Merz paper and the recent Austrian-Italian paper both point in the same direction: promise now access to EEA (four freedoms, single market San marino style) in return for deep reforms. The best (perhaps last) moment to offer this is: this summer. There is NO good reason not to. Except inertia and lack of strategic vision. @_FriedrichMerz @thorsten_frei @HendrikWuest @n_liminski @larsklingbeil @cem_oezdemir @ToniHofreiter @KubiliusA @AmbVWD @kaisauer @Kai_Whittaker @RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret

On the anniversary of Jo Cox's death at the hands of a far-right terrorist, you'll never guess who Shelagh Fogarty is having on to LBC as a guest to discuss violence against women and girls. A member of Reform UK. ๐Ÿคฌ The most divisive party in the country, built out of the far-right empire of the 80s and 90s.

This is absolutely insane. The suffragettes used far more extreme tactics than Palestine Action. They planted bombs, burned down private homes and smashed up art galleries. They killed five people! Her outrageous judgement is based on absurd historical ignorance.
The Lady Chief Justice: Palestine Action was not a direct action civil disobedience protest group like the suffragettes, but used violence to destroy property The suffragettes burned down country houses & train stations, bombed churches & sent letter bombs to politicians.

An early throwing-in of the towel by Reform. They brought a banana to a gun fight, to be fair. Kenyon is a stone-cold liability. Farage will have then overseen two by-election losses but will we see any media calling for him to resign?
Andy Burnham is making things difficult for Reform in Makerfield and beating him is โ€œa very, very hard askโ€, says Reform board member Gawain Towler. โ€œBurnham does change the weather.โ€ @GHWTowler | @KateEMcCann

You can't just change your job, there is no such thing as a bountiful selection of high-paying jobs available. And even if there were, somebody still has to do all the lower paid jobs that don't pay enough to survive.
Replying to @CallumLyon
So change your job. And give up coffees I bought my first house in the 80's, 60k, 2 bed flat. Salary was ยฃ12.5k. Needed a lodger to pay the mortgage, Fixed 10% i.e. half of my salary on interest. ยฃ500 a month on interest, mortgage was ยฃ700 a month. Lodger paid ยฃ300 or I couldnt have done it. Lived on Asda 6p tins of spagetti, a 28p loaf and tub of margerine for a year 6 days a week, roast on Sunday.

You can't really be this stupid @Helen_Whately. You KNOW that PIP is not an out-of-work benefit and that many people who claim it also go to work, and indeed use it to enable them to do so. So why do you keep lying about it?
1 in 4 people now report as disabled. But we can't afford to sign off 25% off the population. Bold action is needed. Not piecemeal tweaks. @Conservatives will rip up the current sickness benefits system and start again. This morning I'll kick off our review at @restate_thinks
