Women who give birth are not ‘birthing people, or chest feeders’ it’s so bloody insulting. No child has ever, in the whole history of time been born from a man. Stop removing our words for a tiny minority who pretend biology is irrelevant. The utterly frustrating thing is this does not go both way when talking about prostates or erectial dysfunction problems.. men don’t get called penis or prostate owners! 😡 It’s why it’s so obviously a men’s rights movement. It’s just women who are supposed to give up opportunities (sports/awards/places) & our descriptive words. Nothing changes. And stupid handmaidens cheer this new erasure along.

'Give us a chance to fight for our lives'
Commonwealth Games swimmer Archie Goodburn, who was diagnosed with brain cancer when he was 22, made an emotional appeal on #BBCBreakfast for more funding despite the passing of the Rare Cancers Bill aimed at improving research and trials

I strongly believe this incredible man should receive the Helen Rollinson award at BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2026
What Archie has achieved while undergoing active treatment for brain cancer & campaigning for change - is truly astonishing.
A true hero.

I know everyone is poring over election results, but let’s not forget… Today is VE Day.
It’s still living memory and being able to have elections is one of the freedoms fought for.
That freedom was bought by men and women who served our country.
Even now our veterans need defending.
The battles are different…like stopping brave veterans being dragged through the courts for vexatious claims in their old age.
Conservatives continue to fight. Just yesterday, the Supreme Court reinstated immunities after my Shadow Attorney General, Lord Wolfson stepped in, acted pro bono for veterans, and won.
We’re the only party doing the work.
On VE Day, we remember their sacrifice.
But remembrance is not enough. We should also honour our veterans by looking after them and defending them in Parliament, in the courts just as they defended us.

In a recent initiative from Coalville Station, crews held an Experience Day for a group of Nurses, Doctors and other specialists from the Burns Unit at Leicester Royal Infirmary. This was a valuable event and we thank LRI staff for joining us on the day to share their expertise.
