I want you all to know this. There are 650 MPs in Parliament. Yet the one MP chosen by @UKLabour to Chair the Bill Committee for the controversial, dangerous and dismally bad draft legislation, the Conversion Practices Bill, is Alex Barros-Curtis. Until July 2024, when Alex was given a very safe Labour seat in Cardiff, he was the Head of the Labour Party's Governance and Legal Unit in London. This was a department set up to investigate complaints against members of the Labour Party. Complaints of antisemitism, Islamophobia, abuse, and of course latterly, mostly women holding legally-protected 'Gender Critical' (sex realist) beliefs. Alex oversaw the investigation of hundreds of members who liked or tweeted gender critical or feminist views. I was one of them. He investigated me, as a sitting Labour MP, for 13 months. 13 months to 'investigate' one like of one tweet. I had a great lawyer, one of the names we're all now familiar with, and I had to crowdfund to pay for his (excellent) work. They first tried in 2020. But the screenshots crudely attached to that passive aggressive, threatening-sounding email from LP admin staff were so risible that I replied that it was too ridiculous for me to waste my precious time on. They left it. Years of Starmer bumbling and stuttering through interviews about whether he had spoken to me, whether he supported me, etc followed. My feminist sins continued apace. And then I 'liked' a tweet by my GC comedian friend @Glinner. He had mocked Eddie'Suzy' for comparing his choice to wear traditional women's clothing, fake plastic breasts and nails, to those being persecuted by the Nazis during WWII. I found his sarcasm, as a award-winning comedy writer in the face of such offensive narcissism amusing and so 'liked' it. I found it absurd and obscene that Izzard, an extremely privileged and wealthy man, who openly changed his 'gender' at will, should write himself into history falseley as someone who would have been oppressed due to a circumstance beyond his control. We all know the groups who were tortured, starved and killed... There is obviously more to my story, I will tell it all, it's just one chapter of the years of spiteful abusive and bullying practices meted out to me by the Labour Party managers. Not those who'd achieved office on merit, or even unexpectedly, but those in the club, often having failed to be elected themselves. So Barros-Curtis who we were repeatedly told led 'the many *independent* inquiries into women members and MPs like me, now often stands as a trans-rights activist on the Labour backbenches. He has also been gifted the role of Chair of this Committee and is a huge supporter of this Bill. And I am not a part of the Bill Committee, although plenty of TRA MPs are. Does that sound like the democratic scrutiny of legislation to you?

When a female patient is raped by a "transgender woman" on a hospital ward your NHS say she could not have been raped because her attacker is "defined as a woman". It took the hospital a year to admit there was a rapist with a penis on the ward. They lied to save their misguided DEI policy and ignored the suffering of the victim and the safety of other female patients. And as far as I know, no one was fired or reprimanded. Real women are not even second class citizens to the NHS.

Shocked and bloody angry I think... it takes more than that to shake me. I may be a woman, but I'm not the snowflake here.
Exclusive: Nigel Farage's "physical altercation" during the State Opening of Parliament was with the Lib Dem MP Caroline Voaden - and has caused an major row between Reform and the Lib Dems. Lib Dem sources say Voaden was left "shocked and shaken" after he "shoved" her to secure a place in the procession of MPs to the King's Speech. Video from the Commons Chamber that day shows Farage and Voaden making their way down from their benches together. Voaden reported the incident to the Serjeant at Arms and says Farage was asked to apologise - but hasn't. A Reform spokesman denies any wrongdoing by Farage, saying "it was the Lib Dem MPs being aggressive towards Nigel". Lib Dems say that is "utter nonsense" Farage said yesterday that the "physical altercation" was the reason he didn't put up a fight to be in the Chamber for the Budget after his prayer card to save a space was removed. He said he thought that after the row with Voaden, it was "better to avoid conflict". But in a further twist, a Commons spokesman says Farage's card was only removed because it didn't have a date stamp, which are required to reserve a spot.

I'd say purposefully carrying a knife and stabbing a teenage girl multiple times because she won't date you is not the action of a "bright lad" more that of a depraved incel. That poor girl and her family 😔

This is the difference between men who (allegedly) rape women and the women they (allegedly) rape made explicitly clear. They dare not show their faces. She is determined to show hers even though she doesn’t have to. “Shame must change sides”. Men must know that when they are exposed for sexual violence against a woman it is not the woman who must hide - and due to the examples set by Giselle Pelicot and Joanne Young she may very well not. Brava Joanne Young. You are outstandingly brave. Phillip Young her husband has already admitted raping and drugging her. Four more men are accused. The details of what was done to her are truly horrific.

Wow… Auf X sind alarmierende Nachrichten aufgetaucht. Wenn das stimmt, ist das ein Fiasko für Forrest Musk !! Einer Untersuchung zufolge hat der Eigentümer von SpaceX einen Satelliten der USA und der NATO blockiert, um den Russen zu helfen, diesen nach dem Zusammenbruch der ukrainischen Luftabwehr abzufangen. US-Forscher haben eine Tatsache aufgedeckt, die Musk sorgfältig verheimlicht und von der niemand etwas erfahren soll. Es stellte sich heraus, dass SpaceX am 13. und 14. Oktober während eines massiven russischen Angriffs mit 39 Raketen und Hunderten von Drohnen nicht nur Starshield/Starlink eingeschränkt hat – wodurch die Abfangrate ukrainischer Drohnen um 23 % sank und sogar US-Personal in Kiew 48 Stunden später (am 15. Oktober) ohne Kommunikation blieb – sondern dass der Eigentümer von SpaceX zudem einen von den USA lizenzierten Orbitalradarsatelliten, ICEYE-X36 (der von der NRO, der US-Space Force und der NATO genutzt wird) und setzte seinen eigenen Satelliten ein, damit der russische Militärsatellit COSMOS 2612 diesen abfangen konnte (a-posteriori-Wahrscheinlichkeit von 99,89 %–99,98 %). Das Pentagon, die US-Space Force und die NATO sind über diesen Verrat an den nationalen Interessen schlichtweg außer sich vor Wut. Von nun an kann sich das US-Militär angesichts solch absurder Fehltritte nicht mehr auf die „Zusammenarbeit“ mit Musk verlassen oder sich sicher fühlen – ebenso wenig wie Partner aus anderen Ländern. Bin gespannt, wie das wohl enden wird? @EuromaidanPR
FINAL: SpaceX Blocked A U.S. And NATO Satellite to Assist a Russian Intercept After Crippling Ukraine's Air Defenses   New 5-page institutional brief & 60s 3D SGP4 orbital reconstruction with Craig Pirrong, Ph.D. @streetwiseprof | Data & Forensics: RAB @LibertyLynx Pages 1-3 & 3D animation below; Pages 4-5 in Post 2; full 5-page PDF link in Post 3 🧵👇   As Craig Pirrong's counterfactual framework establishes: The Russian intercept is not the smoking gun. The failure to maneuver is.   1. The Sprinting Satellite Paradox & -96.64% Target Freeze (Page 1): Between Oct 13 and 24, 2026, Russian counterspace weapon COSMOS 2612 (68762) converted a 5-month, ~170 m/s co-planar trailing option into a 0.759 km sub-kilometer hold against U.S.-licensed radar satellite ICEYE-X36 (59103), which guides Ukraine's autonomous deep strikes on Russian oil refineries without SpaceX links, at the exact moment SpaceX throttled Ukrainian military Starshield terminals (-23.0% USF air-defense hits).   In June 2026 (with no Starlink alert), ICEYE-X36 defeated a Russian approach by dropping 0.500 km, generating 71.08 km/day secular drift (3.62 km/h in the sprint frame), exiting Russia's 3.0 km braking box in 49.7 to 60.78 minutes, blowing past Russia's 12 km or under onboard KTZ sensor in 3.31 hours, and causing a 103.7 to 118.5 km miss.   In October, as COSMOS 2612 fired a -2.2184 km (370.8x perched shock / 449.1x fit jump) burn to sprint 14.29x faster (400 km/day / 278 m/min), ICEYE-X36's evasion collapsed by 96.64% (to 16.8154 meters or less, P3 = 3.363%). 

 * Why? The Alert Itself Was the Weapon: SpaceX maintained a 0.401 km (0.711 km Oct 16) public GP collision alert via STARLINK-35856 (67013) despite holding internal v3/v4 forecasts 4.80x to 5.00x wider (1.925 to 2.003 km) and withholding autonomous Starlink clearance (M_Starlink = 0, W_X36 = 1, W_COSMOS = 0), legally freezing X36 under David Goldman's 2023 FCC Condition 16 (DA 23-797).   * Rational Russian exercise across a 363.7 km blind gap required ex-ante certainty of K = (E1, E2, E3). Across all 5 capability levers, SpaceX is the sole actor (N = 1): Posterior = 99.893% to 99.978% (Tier A floor; 1 in 3,748 to 17,841) and up to 99.999% (Tier B K-set).   2. Four-Way Tracker Blindness & What NRO/USSF Saw Live (Page 2): 

 * Public Catalogs (18th/19th SDS): Blind for 21.824 hours (363.7 km unobserved closure) on sprint (k6 to k7) and 19.385 hours on brake (k9 to k10, -382.71 km SGP4 delta).   * Russian Ground Radars (SKKP Krona/Okno): Bounded by Earth curvature at 541 km to a 22.8 degree (2,530 km) horizon cone, blind for 8 to 10 hours/day (80% to 94.5% of the orbit) with zero Americas/Pacific coverage.   * The Sole Unblinded Commercial Panopticon: Only SpaceX's Stargaze (31,000 star trackers, 40M+ daily tracks, 17M associated, 850 sightings/day, 7 to 15 min global custody / 99.73% 10-min hit rate) and sub-1-minute Space Safety portal (Appendix A & Section 4(b), with Chinese operators onboarded Oct 6 & 16) had real-time visibility across the blind gap, while NRO & USSF watch floors watched live on the classified High Accuracy Catalog (HAC / Space Fence / Vantor WorldView NEI), realizing 348 Starshield satellites in orbit (245 NRO spy satellites) sit on the same SpaceX bus.   3. Contracted Capacity Is Not Combat Availability & The 6-Way C2 Collapse (Page 3): 

 * Combat Output = Sensor Availability x Link Availability x Platform Availability x Permission Arriving Before Mission Window Closes (T_permission <= T_mission).   * The Two-Pronged Pincer: SpaceX weaponized FCC Condition 16 to freeze the Sensor Layer in orbit and a Commercial ToS ($500 liability cap) to blind the Transport Layer on the ground.   * 70-90 km/h Civilian Baseline vs. 4 Collapsed Alibis: Civilian Starlink in Ukraine was already capped at 70 to 90 km/h since Feb 2026 (S. Beskrestnov). The Oct 13-24 101 to 161 km/h gate hit DoD-contracted military Starshield links (-23.0% USF hits; Oct 19 Nova Vodolaha strike). Musk cycled through 4 contradicting alibis in 12 days (blaming DoD/POTUS Oct 14 -> ToS offensive loophole Oct 24 -> "sympathy for poor Russian conscripts" Oct 25 -> Russian ASAT/debris fear Oct 26), while resolving the exact same "weapon ToS" objection on U.S. LUCAS suicide drones in Iran via a 5x price hike ($5,000 to $25,000/mo)!   * COCO vs. GOGO ($8.8B+ Sign-Off Chain): Under Contractor-Owned, Contractor-Operated (COCO/OTA) deals signed off by Pete Hegseth, Stephen Feinberg, CTO Emil Michael, Lt. Gen. Philip Garrant, Gen. Michael Guetlein, Col. Ryan Frazier, Clare Hopper & NRO's Dr. Chris Scolese, taxpayers fund the satellites while SpaceX's civilian NOC retains 100% of the physical thruster and velocity kill-switches.   (Continued in Post 2: Pages 4 & 5: Statutory Breach Matrix, CTO Emil Michael's $7M-$35M OGE Clock, the $19.5B SpaceX Bailout Loop, Iran Round Two Magazine Depletion & Subpoena Schedule.

Every Labrador in the land has had a difficult few days
The clocks went back on Sunday night and not one animal on this account has been informed. Hector was at the field gate on Monday at the hour he has presented himself at since the day he came off the lorry, the hour the farmer once looked up and has never told anybody. By the kitchen clock he was an hour early. He stood square in the dark, ears forward, waiting for the day to be explained to him, and the farmer, who had been handed an extra hour by the government and had planned to spend it asleep, spent it at the window instead. Nelson came out of the shelter when the light came, as he has every morning of his life, and found the hay hung an hour late by his reckoning. He ate it with the expression of an animal who has noticed, and has decided not to raise it, yet. In Wester Ross, Isla was at the byre door at the time Angus has fed her for four years, which is to say the time the sky said, and Angus was in the house in his socks being told by the radio that it was earlier than it was. She stood there in the drizzle. She has stood through a blizzard. A clock was never going to shift her. In Yorkshire the man opened the pop-hole at seven by the kitchen, and the sun had been up the better part of an hour, and four hens came out of that coop like a dropped tray. Beatrice first. She looked at him on the way past in a manner he has described, to nobody, as pointed. In Monmouthshire Marged issued Grunt Three, which is the one that means she is awake and this is your notification, at precisely the usual time. The farmer's wife, for whom the usual time was now an hour earlier, has lodged an objection with the only authority available, which is the pig, who has not acknowledged it. Gerald was in the south corner at first light. First light did not move. A cow, a hen, a horse, a pig and a donkey keep time by the sky, the same as they kept it before there was a clock in the country, and on Sunday night the entire nation moved its watches to catch up with them for the winter and called it the clocks going back. Nothing in those fields went back. They were already there.

This is shocking
A doctor rapes a patient. The victim reports it. THE DOCTOR ADMITS IT. He tells a hospital committee that it was a "one off" and he will not do it again. THE MANAGEMENT SAYS THAT IS OK. And allow him to carry on working. THE POLICE TAKE NO ACTION. The hospital concerned is the BLACKPOOL VICTORIA HOSPITAL. The same hospital where a 75 year old patient was raped to death and no one was ever convicted for it. Are women worth nothing to the NHS? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c172…
