In this afternoon's debate about the Gov relationship with charities, @RealStephenKerr raised the issue of almost wholly-funded lobby groups which pose as charities to help push Gov agenda. He mentioned @DSanderson_85 report & comments by @AlexNeilSNP Gov benches not happy!

A small public service announcement from the Department of Things That You Should Know… It has not “peeked” your interest. Nor has it “peaked” your interest. …It has piqued your interest. You are not “phased” by something. You are fazed by it. If you’ve had a long day, you are weary. If you suspect someone is an idiot, you are wary. It is “due course”, not “do course”. “Per se”, not “per say”. And while we’re here, it’s “could have”, not “could of”, but that particular battle may already be lost. Thank you for your attention during this brief outbreak of grammatical housekeeping. This has been a @LairdofthManor announcement.🎩💙

Fantastic news! Surrey Pride was run by two child abusers until recently. It is now run by the men’s sexual partners. Despite promising to publish its review of safeguarding failures the organisation never has. Surrey Pride represents a clear and present danger to kids. 👇

This is truly what some people want. There are a lot of deluded people about

We are at the Royal Courts of Justice today. We hope to live tweet the judicial review brought by Sex Matters against the National Police Chiefs' Council and the British Transport Police.

135 British MPs are fighting guidance that would deny ‘Paula’ the right to enter women’s and girls’ changing rooms.

A horse is built to run. A donkey is built to stand and think about it. You have met Hector. This is the other half of his field. Here is the thing nobody warns you about a parade horse. Hector stood through the King's Troop and the massed bands and a nation's worst day without shifting a hoof, and he will still, in a quiet Welsh field, levitate sideways at a pheasant coming out of a hedge. A carrier bag on the wind is, to a horse, a clear and present danger. The guns were a job, and the job had rules. The hedge has a pheasant in it and no rules at all, and so the flight animal underneath the seventeen years of training remains, on the matter of pheasants, entirely undefeated. Nelson does not look up. Nelson has never looked up. A donkey does not flee, it assesses, and it assessed the pheasant long ago and found it beneath comment. People call that stubbornness. It is an animal declining to spend adrenaline it sees no reason to spend. And here is the domestic arrangement, which anyone who has kept the two together will know on sight. Nelson is a third of Hector's size and entirely in charge. He eats first. He picks the dry spot. He decides when they move. The black charger who carried the weight of the state stands by, with enormous patience, while a small grey donkey finishes the good hay. The one thing that reliably undoes Hector is Nelson leaving the field. Five minutes, a foot trim, a vet down the lane, and the great composed horse comes apart at the gate, calling and calling, because a horse is herd to its bones and has decided that its herd is one unbothered donkey. Nelson, for his part, despises rain. A desert animal washed up in Denbighshire, he stands in the shelter looking martyred while Hector grazes out in the wet, waterproof and serene. Two opposite natures, each propping up the other exactly where it is weak. The horse who fears small things and the donkey who fears nothing at all. It works. It was always going to.

M&S used to have staff at the entrance to every changing room. Someone to deter perverts from following a girl and pushing her into the cubicle to assault her. Someone to notice if a man is kicking the door open or holding a camera/phone under the door.

This exasperated man needs to understand that EHRC is not making any law. It is explaining how the law, as enacted by Parliament and as definitively interpreted by the Supreme Ct, is to be applied in general & certain specific circumstances. His beef is with the law, not the EHRC

Insulting beyond belief. And I say that as a two time different breast cancer survivor, lumpectomies and radiation on both and I still am lucky enough to not have needed a mastectomy. This is an insult to all women…

They say wild animals don't remember. But this dying chimp proved everyone wrong the second her old caretaker walked in

God above.

What is Swinney's end game? Other than reviving the obvious safeguarding deficit self ID throws up? Having a male CEO in charge of a rape crisis centre again? Having mediocre men dominating women's sports? To undermine the collection of accurate sex-based data?

Just a reminder Susan Aiken has resigned 4 weeks ago .

Not every woman can give birth. However, if you have a hundred heterosexual couples, many of those women will give birth. But if you have a hundred "transwomen" couples - not one of those males will give birth. Because it takes a female to be a woman.

Married his childhood sweetheart, has four kids, donates to the armed forces and mental health charities while running his own foundation. Doesn't drink or smoke. Zero career scandals, which is rare for anyone at his level of fame. He's also his country's and boyhood club's all-time top scorer, with six Golden Boots including four in the Premier League and one at a World Cup. He's easily the best striker in the world right now. And yet Harry Kane remains one of the most disrespected and underrated players in world football. Which is bizarre because he's exactly the type of footballer kids should be looking up to. 👏

Another £97.1million lost by SNP? 🤔

Unlike other parties, the Scottish Conservatives will always stand up for the rights of women and girls.

I am utterly appalled and disgusted by Malthouse’s approach to this Bill. Why is he so determined for state-approved suicide and euthanasia to be driven through parliament? What man, far less a parliamentarian, would strive to implement a law that is so inhumane on the basis of “cost” to the State? Sickening!
