Hi Emily , sorry you were too busy choosing the next King. Hectic day! My use of ‘minions’ was in regard to your white van man comments. I apologise to your staff for that. I wasn’t offered any alternative dates, and now I wouldn’t accept them anyway. You’re a traitor to women and everyone can see that now.
My god!
1: Charles III is the King of the United Kingdom
2. The Privy Council doesn't choose the next monarch. The UK is a constitutional monarchy. The heir automatically succeeds upon the death of the previous monarch.
I, a foreigner, know this better than an MP? Jesus wept.

What about the vast majority of women who only want women in the ‘women only’ spaces. And don’t forget the many men who also want women only spaces for their wives daughters and mums. What’s the matter with you @EmilyThornberry - Labour politicians are so out of touch!

I've joined more than 120 colleagues in signing this EDM to reject the EHRC Code of Practice.
Trans people deserve love and equality. I’m worried these new rules won't achieve that.
We need a proper debate in Parliament on them, and what they mean for our trans constituents.

“New rules” @EmilyThornberry?
It’s statutory guidance. Surely you know the status of statutory guidance? Surely you understand it’s not law? And that if it’s blocked the law will simply remain the law? Incredible if not.

Hi @EmilyThornberry so you would deny women privacy, dignity and peace of mind when undressing? You’d deny raped women male-free spaces and counselling groups? I thought you had more sense than this. Very disappointing.

A 15-year-old girl who had loved wrestling since she was four got put on a mat against a fucking male while the adults in charge knew exactly what they were doing.
She didn’t know. They did. By the end of that match she was sobbing and running to her mother after getting digitally raped through her singlet. She still had to shake the bastard’s hand. Her own coaches just walked the fuck away.
Her mother reported it the next day like any decent parent would. The law and their own policy said report it to the Title IX coordinator immediately and get law enforcement involved within 48 hours.
These gutless fucks did nothing for 53 days. Fifty-three fucking days of silence while they protected their precious policy and kept letting males into girls’ sports.
Only when a journalist started asking questions did these cowards suddenly remember how to do their fucking jobs. The next day they finally filed the report.
The principal had the balls to call the mother afterward and say they take this shit “very seriously.” Seriously? You spineless pricks sat on a sexual assault complaint for nearly two months and only moved when the press showed up.
And what did it cost? The girl quit wrestling. A sport she’d loved since she was four years old. She quit because she no longer trusted the adults in charge to protect her. Students bullied the shit out of her after the story broke and not one coach or administrator lifted a finger to stop it.
They protected the policy. They protected their own asses. They left the girl to carry it alone. Fuck every last one of them.

We have grown used to saying that ministers never resign on a point of principle anymore. But that’s what John Healey has done, and I admire him for it

Extraordinarily - and this seems to demonstrate a complete disregard of the seriousness of defence at the heart of government - John Healey was only told what the offer was for additional defence funding on Monday afternoon.
I am told Number 10 then tried to rush and publish the Defence Investment Plan on Thursday.
Then a handbrake was applied by Mr Healey and his military chiefs. The (now ex) defence secretary made clear that racing to release the blueprint without a settlement that had been accepted by him and his team would be a risk for defence and for its soldiers, sailors and aviators.
You can only imagine the tone of the exchange that must have taken place - and I know that people were in the MOD until very late last night.
But John Healey firmly believes the settlement was inadequate and, if left unchallenged, would not enable the UK to keep the country safe or meet its international commitments - such as help defend Ukraine in the event of a ceasefire with Russia.
A key detail is that Mr Healey believes defence spending must be increased to 3% of GDP by 2030, up from 2.3% now. This would guarantee tens of billions of additional pounds for defence.
But - despite the stakes and the position of the defence secretary - the Prime Minister and Chancellor agreed just to inch it up to 2.68% of GDP within that time frame, after hitting a new target of 2.6% next year (which is already being inflated by lumping in the 0.1% that is spent on the intelligence agencies).
Utterly incredible.
What must our allies and our adversaries be thinking, let alone everyone in the UK armed forces and, frankly, everyone in our country?
We all rely on a secure UK to live, work, go to school, enjoy holidays, access healthcare, spend time with friends and families.
This is not a divine right. It happens because we have security - something that might not be apparent until or unless it is compromised...

Healey’s resignation is arguably the worst crisis faced by the PM, and he has faced a few. Because he is saying that Keir Starmer - encouraged by Rachel Reeves and the Treasury - is jeopardising the security of the nation by refusing to fund any significant increase in defence spending between 2027 and 2030 (he says that on Monday the Defence Investment Plan was shared with him, and it would involve defence as a share of GDP rising from 2.6% to just 2.68% of GDP by 2020).
One implication is Starmer simply does not have the authority over his cabinet colleagues to compel them to make the kind of cuts to their budgets that could have released funding for defence. He will face the charge that, with Burnham campaigning in Makerfield to replace him, he is prime minister in name only

Perhaps the grimmest part of John Healey’s brutal resignation letter is that defence spending, projected to be 2.6% GDP by 2027, will only reach 2.68% in 2030. A pathetic 0.08% increase over three years after all that Starmer rhetoric about the dangerous times we live in and how UK would lead the way stepping up to the crease. A real leader would have told Reeves to cough up the dosh and ordered Miliband to hand over a big chunk of his net zero budget. But he’s probably too weak to do either.

I’m heartbroken by this. When I was at University, we debated & then went to the pub together.
An Oxford professor has cancelled lectures following abuse and disruption by pro-trans protesters.
Associate Professor of Law Dr Michael Foran has been forced to cancel a series of lectures because of what he described as “escalating disruptive protests” by trans activists.
Dr Foran, an expert in equality law, was cited in last year’s landmark Supreme Court ruling which confirmed that, in law, the definition of a woman is based on biological sex rather than gender identity.
The lecture series, open to Oxford students and members of the public, explored themes from his new book, Sex, Gender Identity and the Law. Rather than engage with his arguments, a group of activist students chose to disrupt the events.
Dr Foran said: “This is deeply lamentable, but disruption has undermined the academic nature of this series.
“Students should not face bullying or harassment for attending academic events.”
He added: “It is unfortunate that these protesters have chosen disruption over genuine intellectual engagement grounded in academic charity and rigour. In attempting to shame students into de-platforming these lectures, they embody the antithesis of what a university stands for.”
At the first lecture on 29 May, two activists walked to the front of the lecture theatre and began addressing the audience as Dr Foran prepared to speak.
One protester claimed Dr Foran “masks his transphobia behind a thin veneer of academia”, adding: “If you are here in a critical capacity to challenge his ideas, that is not the same as refusing to platform him. He will not be convinced by your arguments. Please join me in walking out and refusing to platform this bigot.”
We are witnessing a growing crisis on university campuses, where academics and students face sustained campaigns of intimidation from activists unwilling to engage in debate.
While the University of Oxford says it is “committed to freedom of speech, academic freedom and respectful debate”, it must do more to uphold those principles.

USA is such a strange wonderful land. They have rockets to the moon, the biggest Military on the planet, the topography is beyond mind blowing, yet, the whole world just watched them cheat & lie in CA elections & they shrug their shoulders. It’s baffling.
