I would go further. This bill will tear families apart and it will cast the shadow of criminal law across every kitchen table where a distressed teenager is having difficult conversions with mum and dad.
This isn’t gay rights. This is tyranny.

“I think this bill is ripe for a declaration of incompatibility. And what an embarrassment that would be for the signature centre piece of human rights legislation to run a risk of incompatibility. Particularly on Article 8 when the first poor, unfortunate parents, I suspect mothers, are arrested under this bill”.
Yesterday, at the first oral evidence session at the Joint Committee on the draft Conversion Practices Bill in Westminster, the panel was asked how the bill will interact with the European Convention on Human Rights.
Watch criminal barrister Dennis Kavanagh @Jebadoo2 set out how the bill will be incompatible with Article 7, 8, 9, 10 and 14 of the ECHR.

“If my husband takes my phone away from me because he doesn’t want me contacting people, that’s coercive control. If I do that to my child, that maybe responsible parenting”
Well said @HJoyceGender! #BinTheBill

The pause before answering the yes/no question was because the genderised woman answering in the affirmative was confronted by one of the many absurdities created by corruption of the word "woman".
At some point, her intellectual fortifications will crumble; just not quite yet.

"There is a gigantic machine operating to radicalize and influence Western societies, and there is not enough defense in place. It doesn't just influence elections, it sows discord, engulfs societies in culture wars, radicalizes teenagers, and shapes political decisions when elected officials fail to read the room."
Zelenskyy: "When our strikes reached Yandex data centers, it suddenly became little easier to breathe on many social media platforms. Many people noticed it.
There was less hate, less division, fewer provocations because there were fewer bots. It's pretty clear where those bots were coming from.
If they disappeared when Yandex went offline, this proves once again that Europe is not the source of the problems."
The big problem is that Russia figured out how modern society consumes information a decade ago, but the West hasn't.
There are millions of bots commenting and posting Russian propaganda. There are paid influencers spreading it, with Russian bots supporting their content.
There is a gigantic machine operating to radicalize and influence Western societies, and there is not enough defense in place.
It doesn't just influence elections, it sows discord, engulfs societies in culture wars, radicalizes teenagers, and shapes political decisions when elected officials fail to read the room.
That needs to change. And fast.

“It makes looking after gay children a crime...this bill causes — and not prevents — gay conversion therapy”, says Dennis Kavanagh.
The Bill is both confusing and confused. It is framed as protecting vulnerable people from coercive attempts to change their sexual orientation or gender identity. In reality, it risks criminalising well-intentioned conversations and imprisoning parents, teachers, therapists, religious communities and even friends.
Speaking at the Free Speech Union and Genspect’s event in Belfast on Friday, criminal barrister and co-director of the Gay Men’s Network Dennis Kavanagh highlighted that the law already rightly bans abusive conversion practices.
This Bill would create new offences that could criminalise important conversations between parents and their gender-confused children.
It will inevitably and inadvertently harm the very children it purports to protect by casting “the shadow of criminal law across your kitchen table”.

During @LibDems conference I also spoke on the defending democracy motion. I highlighted the fact that Orwellian denial of basic reality undermines faith in democracy, including when politicians do not speak honestly about basic facts such as female biology. See 👇

Paul Simon pays tribute to 9/11 by performing "The Sound Of Silence".
A native New Yorker, you can see the deep emotion in Paul's face as he sings.
Heartbreaking.

In Albo’s woke world, ideology comes before biology.
In mine, the rights of women and girls come first.

I very much regret this decision by the High Court. The ball is firmly in the Parliament of #Australia’s court to correct this historic injustice and affront to the rights of women and girls.
Today the High Court 👨⚖️ refused Sall Grover special leave to appeal Giggle for Girls v Tickle. The legal fight is over. 😤
Parliament must now act. ‼️
Giggle was a women only app. @salltweets built it so women could have a female only online space.
As the law now stands, a woman can be punished in court for running a female only service without the inclusion of men who identify as women.
The courts applied the Gillard government 2013 amendments. They did not invent them. Only Parliament can restore the right of women and girls to single sex spaces, services and sport.
@SenKatyG @MGrahMcIntosh
WRNA stands with Sall Grover. 💪💜 We call on every MP and Senator to amend the Sex Discrimination Act and put sex based rights back into Australian law.
