Today @bbclaurak did the following: 1) made an outrageous claim that intimidation lost Jonathan Ashworth his seat 2) mocked labour policy in a sarcastic sing song voice 3) got Nigel farage to comment on divisive politics RT if you agree they need a new presenter.

Er, no. You have delivered guidance which, if followed, would be likely to have schools acting unlawfully. How is that helpful? When did educationalists ask for that? What legal advice have you had on the draft guidance?
Headteachers and teachers have been asking me for more clarity on how RSHE should be taught. That's what we're delivering today.

I’ll say it one more time: stop using Black people as your comparison group because it almost always reveals more about you than you think it does.
Does this apply to any other demographic, Landon? Do I get to be black if I like Motown and fancy myself in cornrows? What if I claim the authentic me has always been black and that you're being racist to me? Would that be OK, or would you find it ludicrous and deeply offensive?

Being black = cornrows and Motown, from the brilliant mind that brought you "Cho Chang."

Not the feedback I gave her directly. Both from my personal experience and from interviewing many parents and trans children. Not the feedback many parents and trans children I know interviewed by Cass provided very clearly. Cass chooses her anecdotes to suit her policy.
Dr Hilary Cass says young people spoken to during her review of gender services said they had "wished they had known there were more ways to be trans than just a binary medical transition". "Their advice to their younger self would be it's not urgent, you don't have to rush."

The proposed changes to the NHS Constitution, in respect of the accommodation of trans people, are, if implemented by any NHS Trust, virtually certain to be in breach of the Equality Act 2010. No surprise from the desperate ‘culture war’ party. archive.ph/2024.04.28-065453…

So @tiecampaign are getting more hate on Twitter for an absurd & laughable accusation that I won’t give more attention to. They do fantastic and vital work in Scotland tackling the scourge of LGBT+ bigotry & educating communities. Show them some love! ❤️ tie.scot/support-us/

It was amazing to go from our @LewishamNeu and @UniteCommGLAB (and other Unite and NEU branches too) demo against the far right this morning, at the Honor Oak, to this vital launch of the @The_TUC Trans Rights Network. Unity of theory and practice. #TradeUnionsForTransRights

Michael Knowles tells CPAC that "there can be no middle way in dealing with transgenderism. ... Transgenderism must be eradicated from public life entirely."
"If [transgenerism] is false, then for the good of society... transgenderism must be eradicated from public life entirely," says Michael Knowles of The Daily Wire at #CPAC2023. These attacks were never about "protecting kids," they were always about eradicating trans people.

Comedy audiences these days are too scared to hear viewpoints they don't agree with being expressed in an unfunny way. Comedians too afraid to say the unfunny things, for fear of noone laughing and them not getting paid. And that's why we're in this mess. That's why I'm quitting.
