Before we all blame the Met for not dealing with the egregious Steve Bray: they did arrest him and confiscate his equipment in 2024.

He was acquitted by a (clearly sympathetic) magistrate because he had a "reasonable excuse" under Articles 10 & 11 of the ECHR. This was despite a clear prohibition on "operating any amplified noise equipment in the Palace of Westminster controlled area."

That's the problem our country faces in a nutshell.

I’ve got a lot of respect for Andy Burnham after he posted this video. He’s put my mind at rest that all he’s interested in is his constituency.

@PatrickChristys Oh yes, him going will be almost as wonderful as seeing Reeves out the door. Tricky to know which of the two has caused the country the most damage

It genuinely amused me that people think replacing Starmer will make things better.

From Boris Johnson's election onwards, we've been shuffling the bollards on the Titanic.

You have to actually change direction if you want to avoid crashing into the iceberg:

- End Net Zero
- Make business viable again
- Get welfare under control
- Fund defence
- Ensure equality under the law
- Arrest criminals and keep them in jail
- Deport illegal immigrants and close the border
- Bring the civil service to heel

Burnham will become as unpopular as Starmer within months since he isn't going to do any of that.

@TheFigen_ Wonderful!

@LGBTQPrideUK @DreyfusJames As trans ideology views same-sex attraction as transphobic and 'sexual racism' are you certain you want to out yourself as gay?!

To men who identify as women:

Just because a woman doesn’t object to your presence in a female-only space, that doesn’t mean she’s comfortable with it, or that she doesn’t know you’re a man. I know a lot of you think you pass because no one says anything, but you don’t. Women are just too polite - or too afraid - to call you out and tell you to leave.

And who can blame us? Women have been brutally assaulted on multiple occasions for trying to stand up to a male trespasser, and are regularly threatened with rape and death by trans people online. Moreover, there’s a solid chance that even if we do say something, we’ll get zero support from the management of whatever establishment we’re in, because they’re all afraid of getting mobs of angry protesters outside their business if they side with common decency.

These spaces are ours. They exist for our safety, and to protect us from sexual exploitation by giving us privacy while we conduct intimate bodily functions. Your presence in them negates their usefulness, and strips us of the protections they once offered, putting women and girls at risk of assault and violation.

Whether we say it or not, whether we comment or not, we all know that you’re a man, and we do not want you in women’s spaces, no matter what lip service some of us may feel forced to pay.

If you were really women on the inside - or even saw women as human beings - then the last thing you’d do would be to bring your male body into female-only spaces, knowing - and you do know this - that you are making women uncomfortable and afraid. Your staggering lack of empathy and your refusal to listen to any voices that don’t tell you that you’re entitled to do exactly as you please have blinded you to the fact that you are unwelcome trespassers who destroy the sense of safety that women have in these spaces.

Your utter disregard for the needs and feelings of the actual women to whom these spaces belong is beyond comprehension: the selfishness is astounding, the entitlement stunning. Women make up 51% of the population, but you think that your 1.6% should be thought of first and foremost, and given anything it demands, no matter how much harm it does to women and girls.

Women deserve to be seen as human beings, not a costume, or a set of stereotypical behaviors and preferences.

@jk_rowling @WillyWoofter @IndiaWilloughby Great comment!

Name a better take than this on the Iran war, I’ll wait.

@LGBTQPrideUK @DreyfusJames As a gay man it's embarrassing to be lumped in with an organisation wanting to experiment on children. This is the sort of thing helping set our movement back by decades

[AghastofDevon @AghastofDevon]

@LNallalingham There's a Treasury minister who goes even further and claims debt is falling!!

[AghastofDevon @AghastofDevon]

@JamesEsses I'm glad you are continuing to fight this

[AghastofDevon @AghastofDevon]

@RussianEmbassy Oh now I understand. Your post has completely changed my view of Russia..

[AghastofDevon @AghastofDevon]

@RafHM So pleases this sort of debate is taking place. Perhaps we can finally stop pretending Islam is just great for womens' rights....!

[AghastofDevon @AghastofDevon]

@TrisOsborneMP @afneil I think it's likely Brexit had a short term cost in terms of EU trade. However, to me, the opportunities we have outside of the EU which I view as a growth-strangling bureaucracy outweigh those.

[AghastofDevon @AghastofDevon]

@Gerashchenko_en Wow!

[AghastofDevon @AghastofDevon]

@SamaHoole Natural England have been duplicitous since the the start of this process. They should have been abolished years ago. They are a nightmare for farmers as well

[Benonwine @benonwine]

This delusional Trans Man says he is experiencing really bad period pains! 🤔🤭

He says he gets monthly cycles and exactly the same symptoms as a woman.😳

Don’t want to be cruel matey, but that’s either a big shit or fart that you need.

What ADVICE would you give him?

[AghastofDevon @AghastofDevon]

@TheGreenParty So zero actual achievements then...

[AghastofDevon @AghastofDevon]

@Heccles94 I marvel at a person's ability to so badly miss the point
