County lines are PHONE LINES, not border demarcations. You can’t traffic people over them. The Rape Gang Inquiry Report is junk.

People are telling me Elon's wealth is tied up in shares. OK then, why doesn't he give every American homeless person $1 million in shares? SpaceX could be governed by a panel of thousands of homeless people instead of just one man.

LGBT people deserve to be able to live freely and safely. I don't believe the EHRC's guidance is helping to make that possible. My statement on why I've signed EDM 240 to stand up for trans people in my constituency and across the UK.

'When people see people in positions of power who belong to the marginalised identities that they've only seen in quiet corners, there is an element of pride there' Scotland's first openly non-binary MSP has said they hope more transgender people will seek election 👇

Politicians who fanned these flames should hang their heads in shame. Time and again we've seen this story play out. Single incidents used to fuel a far right narrative - and communities across the nation paying the price.

So there we have it: @Daniel_Sugarman has just called me - a brown skinned woman - and three other journalists of colour incl one with Jewish ancestry - sh*t hires. This is why we need independent media more than ever. @mehdirhasan @zeteo_news

Another horrific event. Another weaponisation of an incident with zero information. Farage has actively been responsible for two sets of riots already, but he's still allowed to punt ill-informed, thinly disguised racism from his hiding place.

The horrific scenes in North Belfast should not be used by English, right wing politicians to further their own ends. I don’t ever remember them commenting on any of the other hellish things that community has experienced over the years.

Different words. Different context. Different tone.

Like are you dense?

🟠 BREAKING: CHILD RAPIST SUES VICTORIAN LABOR OVER CONDITIONS IN THE WOMEN'S PRISON LABOR PUT HIM IN 🟠 A man convicted of raping his own 5-year-old daughter, filming the abuse and sending the footage to a US paedophile is now suing the Victorian Labor government over conditions in the women's prison Labor placed him in. WHAT HE DID Anonymised by the court as Hilary Maloney, the offender pleaded guilty in 2024 to three charges: Persistent sexual abuse of a child under 16 (Victorian, max 25 years, standard sentence 10 years) Producing child abuse material via a carriage service (Commonwealth) Transmitting child abuse material via a carriage service (Commonwealth) He offended on at least 19 occasions over 33 days in May and June 2023. The victim was his own 5-year-old daughter. He lived in the same home as her and her mother. He produced 77 files. He sent them to Samuel Booth, a US paedophile he met online in a self-described master and slave dynamic. THE SENTENCE County Court Judge Nola Karapanagiotidis sentenced Maloney to 4 years 9 months. Non parole: 2 years 6 months. The standard sentence for the state offence alone is 10 years. The judge accepted gender dysphoria reduced Maloney's moral culpability. She accepted online manipulation by Booth reduced it further. She said Maloney was "highly unlikely" to reoffend unless coerced again. THE WOMEN'S PRISON Maloney was placed in Dame Phyllis Frost Centre under a Victorian Labor policy that imprisons offenders by gender identity, not sex. The same policy was in place in 2022 when a female prisoner was sexually assaulted by a trans identifying male murderer in another Victorian women's prison. The Allan government settled the victim's claim in secret. THE LAWSUIT Maloney is now suing the Victorian Government over treatment in custody, including 13 months in solitary confinement. The taxpayer pays the damages either way. THE FEDERAL FIX The Coalition's Crimes Amendment (Mandatory Minimum Sentences for Child Sexual Abuse) Bill 2025 would impose a 5-year mandatory minimum on serious federal child sex offences. Albanese Labor has blocked it twice. Maloney is eligible for parole in 2027. His daughter will be 9. Read the full story here: onenewsaustralia.com/trans-p…

It’s worrying how people don’t seem to realise that the only protection from Being fired at work for being gay comes from the equalities act which Reform UK will rip up. Farage has already also said that gay marriage isn’t ’proper marriage’ Wake up, reform UK are homophobes.

Muslims don’t all believe one thing. We’re not a hive mind.

Yes, I had a very severe reaction to my second Moderna shot. But part of being a responsible scientist with a large platform is not extrapolating my personal experience to the entire population. I also have a rare autoimmune condition called Parsonage-Turner syndrome (diagnosed in 2013), so I may have been particularly vulnerable to side effects. Who knows. Given my bad experience with the first mRNA vaccine I've ever taken, I have made the personal decision to avoid them in the future. However, it would have been incredibly unscientific and highly irresponsible of me to take this personal experience of mine and start telling millions of people online to not get vaccinated for COVID. There's a reason quack alternative medicine practitioners plaster personal testimonies all over their websites. They sound convincing to a lot of people. But it's purely manipulation. Personal testimony, even a large collection of them, isn't a substitute for real, population-level data. I am not an expert on vaccines, the COVID vaccine, or epidemiology in general. So when I experience a serious side effect taking something with a non-zero rate of serious side effects, I understand that my personal experience likely isn't an indication that we're all being lied to about safety. You should understand that as well. The impulse to extrapolate a very negative personal experience to the entire population is very strong. But responsible scientists, and especially those with large public platforms, should resist that impulse.

Furthermore, shifting to 'population-adjusted' is cynically misleading. Black people are disproportionately stopped, arrested, charged and subjected to force. You have to take that into account, rather than respective population sizes.
