Former Labour Party deputy leader @HarrietHarman expresses her disdain to Sky's @BethRigby at the apology given today by Keir Starmer. Does she think he can come back from this? You can find out on tomorrow’s Electoral Dysfunction episode.

The government knows that puberty blockers are dangerous - that’s why they announced a ban a year ago.
So, before giving them to any more vulnerable children, why don’t we find out what happened to the 2,000 who were given them over the past 15yrs?
Common sense, surely?
This woman is so brave.
Keira was put on puberty blockers at 16, then given testosterone, then had her healthy breasts removed.
She regrets it all. She was just a tomboy.
She needed support, not medicalisation.
Thank you @KBtheYoungOG for sharing your story.

@RosieDuffield1 Just a note. Children can’t provide legal consent to any clinical trial. They provide ‘assent’ and good clinical practice requires information about what will happen on a trial is provided in an age-appropriate way. I was a member of an NHS research ethics committee for ten years
The most sexist & misogynist concept is “men claiming to be women harms no one”.
It means women aren’t their own sex class. It harms women. It allows men to speak for us, as us. If you give AF about women, it’s crystal clear.
“The quotas now apply to sex at birth...[LVW said] "the fact the party has changed these quotas - despite some strong opposition - cements the position that the Lib Dems accept April’s supreme court ruling.”" https://t.co/4B2IqoWQgh
The @LibDems showing they accept the SC ruling by changing their quotas. "The leadership said the rules had to change to comply with April’s Supreme Court ruling, which said that trans women were not legally women under the Equality Act." https://t.co/lVqB1WDfXD
It is not ‘hate’ to speak the truth.
It is not ‘hate’ to defend the rights of women and girls.
It is not ‘hate’ to be deeply worried about an unevidenced medical experiment on minors.
Rationality goes out of the window when you pretend men can be women.
🚄 Brexit means Britain’s left off the map and cut off.
The EU is launching a Europe-wide high-speed rail network: 49,400 km linking every capital and major city at 250–350 km/h.
It’s the future of green travel and connection.
And we’re not on it thanks to Brexit

#ICYMI: Israeli soldiers detained two Palestinian boys in the occupied West Bank, demanding to know their father’s whereabouts. A passerby called for their release because of their age, a soldier replied, “I don’t care.”
So unutterably stupid.
I hope the Embassy @IsraelinUK is conveying the message to the Israeli government about the damage this does to Israel’s reputation and to the efforts of those of us who are Friends of Israel
