Lucy Letby is serving 15 life sentences for the murder & attempted murder of 15 infants at the Countess of Chester hospital from 2015-2016. I spoke to two parents recently, Clare and Carl, whose baby was in Lucy's care at that time, and what they told me left me shaken. /🧵

📣🚨 FSU Victory!! The Free Speech Union has just heard from South Wales Police that it has withdrawn its guidance on “anti-Muslim hostility”. The force had effectively adopted its own Islamic blasphemy law, instructing officers to record any conversation that went beyond “legitimate” discussion of Islam. Under this guidance, criticism of Islam could have been recorded as an anti-social behaviour incident and potentially appeared on DBS checks, affecting someone’s ability to work as a teacher, carer, or in other regulated professions. South Wales Police has backed down because the Free Speech Union threatened them with a judicial review if it chose to press ahead with the policy. The force has described this move as a “pause” to the guidance — but we think it is highly unlikely to return. We must also thank Shadow Equalities Minister @ClaireCoutinho for referring South Wales Police to the Equality and Human Rights Commission after we brought this issue to her attention. Blasphemy laws were abolished by Parliament 18 years ago. We must not allow them to return through the back door. Let this be a warning to any other public body — particularly police forces — considering the adoption of its own blasphemy laws. Watch Lord Young below 👇

This from the Scouts is insane!!! @scouts

Not so long ago Christians were being told not to wear a cross at work, the NHS was one place where it happened. Now we are being told that carrying a knife is permitted if you are a Sikh. The contrast is stark and utterly indefensible.

“Housing crisis? I don’t think you have, mate”

Good moment 🤣

'You can ask people, what is your sex? If you don't ask that question, you won't be able to do the rest of your obligations under maintaining single sex spaces' Baroness Falkner tells Mornings what she thinks of the govt's latest single-sex spaces guidance.

It's difficult to deal with people who are so far down the climate net zero rabbit hole that they have forgotten that just 150 years ago those same people would be tilling the ground for 14hrs a day or working in a factory, would be living in a tenement with no toilet, no electricity or gas and no heating. Would have no holidays or very much leisure time, would be likely to die before 45 and their kids lucky to make it out past 5 years. The fossil fuel, machine driven revolution has given those people a century of prosperity so that they can now sit there and pontificate about climate and net zero when there are still 2 billion people who heat and eat with dung and wood. You people are a disgrace. You've forgotten the face of your fathers. You're an embarrassment to your ancestors

Remember when saying “All lives matter” was deemed to be ‘hate speech’ when the BLM riots were kicking off? Apparently it’s fine to say it now 🤷‍♀️

Death penalty ☠️

If there is one place where you can expect old and technology lacking people it's going to be a hospital. The person who came up with that policy has probably already been promoted.

What's everyone doing to celebrate Pride month? I am decorating the outside of my villa with dildos and buttplugs.

Good morning @ChrisGPackham As you are both a famous lover of animals, and a devout pro-EU campaigner, we were curious about a few things. Seeing as the UK outside the EU has for example: ⚫ banned the live transport of livestock for fattening and slaughter ⚫ improved recognition of animal sentience regulations ⚫ improved regulations banning shark finning ⚫ banned the overfishing of sandeels that out endangered Puffin populations depend on ⚫ re-introduced the effective ban on testing cosmetics on animals All of the above, and many other changes we could do but haven't yet, would have to be reversed if we rejoined the EU. Are you really telling people that poor animal welfare is a price worth paying? We look forward to hearing your reasoned response.

We need flying euthansia squads so that people who have serious accidents can immediately be offered the chance of dying quickly and painlessly.

So what you're saying is, prices are going up again, even though you promised they will go down.

Le Creuset makes brilliant cookware. It’s also French. Samuel Groves makes superb cast iron in Birmingham. 24cm Britannia pan: £130. Le Creuset equivalent: £149. Same premium cast iron game, but supporting local industry feels better. #MadeInEngland

Temperatures have risen 20 degrees in the past 4 months where I am. What do climate change deniers say to this? They have no explanation.
