A man just told me that I'm saying my own name wrong. My own name. I shit you not.

If trans women aren’t women, then presumably trans men aren’t men. So trans men can now sit on boards in women’s places and be put into women’s spaces even with a GRC that says they’re a man? 💩
Saying “trans women are women” was never true in fact and now isn’t true in law, either. A victory for all of the women who faced personal abuse or lost their jobs for stating the obvious. Women are women and men are men: you cannot change your biological sex. The era of Keir Starmer telling us that some women have penises has come to an end. Hallelujah! Well done @ForWomenScot!

Napoleon once said that the surprising thing was not that every man has his price, but how low it is, and I can't help but see that everywhere now

Football activism has taken over the stadiums. 🧵🇵🇸 Here is a thread of all fan bases calling for solidarity with Palestine and the suspension of Israel from the beautiful game: Leading the way — Celtic’s Green Brigade vs Bayern Munich

My wife wants to use a different Indian takeaway because they "stopped giving us free poppadoms". What actually happened is I started eating the free poppadoms in the car on the way home

Oh your "out of office" is on is it. You're off "all the way through" are you. I'll tell you where you couldn't put an out of office on. It's starts with B. And it ends with attle of the Somme

Fantastic. Let’s also get rid of Confession and marital counselling run by churches then. If the Muslims can’t have their own informal religious guidance, it should be banned for everyone, right? Right?
None of these courts should exist. There’s only one law in this country and it is British law.

Left the bird app for 2 years. Came back and unintentionally made a single popular tweet. The responses prove that standards are even lower around here than when I left. And I left because someone tried to sue me for defamation when I called her ballsy. 🙄

The shot I have waited for! Been many attempts and failed attempts with weather to get this shot. Finally things lined up for another attempt. When the moon rose it slowly made its way up the side of the mountain to finally come to the very peak and there I captured this shot! – at Donegal, Ireland

In Ireland (that’s in Europe) people ate dogs, cats, donkeys, sometimes other people. Bodies lined the roads with green foam around their mouths after eating grass and yes, dirt.
Haitians eating dirt has nothing to do with being poor, but has to do with the types of people they are. Take 1000 Europeans and place them somewhere with absolutely nothing. Make it even harder for them, and destroy a city and then place them there. They won’t eat a dirt cookie I promise you.

Just wanted to share quickly how lovely yesterday felt in Southport; a total contrast to the night before. 🧵 The mosque and people’s garden walls were rebuilt by builders and bricklayers volunteering their time and labour:

Went to the Royal Academy summer show and all I can say is a lot of young people have been encouraged too strongly to follow their dreams
