I have seen a lot of people doing intro posts, but there’s not much interesting to say about me, so please let me introduce you to my feline housemates, Star and Oreo, who will probably be main characters in most of my posts

This tactic worked well against trans people so the NHS is now using it against other groups
Unfortunately this is not a "new" story. People are forced to get private assessments because the NHS backlogs are years long, meds are already limited, and now even with a diagnosis you can't get a prescription on the NHS. It is a nightmare for so many people, and a failing of healthcare. 1/

Could there be a better example of "the trans debate" than 98% of women supporting trans people and then one single lone person voting against them and getting their way regardless. It's all such a fucking sham
"Forty-nine votes were cast against the new rules, whilst only one vote was cast in their favour", yet still they went ahead with the ban. Clearly, women's opinions do not count!

Fwiw I don't think protests should be banned. If people are doing illegal things on them they should be arrested under existed laws. Otherwise it's important to protect free speech.

Sir Oliver “Olly” Robbins is a clever, well-informed person. He’s also ambitious & diligent. Sir Keir Starmer & his team now have a potentially highly dangerous enemy. Not because Sir Oliver wants revenge (though he might) but because of the facts of the Mandelson case.

Suspect blaming Olly Robbins and the Foreign Office will not end well for Starmer.
Starmer has thrown Sir Olly Robbins to the wolves by blaming FCDO officials for not telling any ministers that Peter Mandelson failed security vetting for the US ambassador job
If true it would be an extraordinary lapse of judgement for such an experienced mandarin

Has he got hold of a copy of Giles Coren’s novel?
Trump: "They came in so fast and so hard. 'Let's go -- bwaaaa!' They came one right after another. Not as the same time. They don't want to come at the same time. They had to come right after each other. There was barely any room to land. A tiny little patch of very wet earth."
