Well, fancy that. It wasn't just me, was it?

The UK's independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, Jonathan Hall KC, told Radio 4 this evening: "I don't know why it appears Devon and Cornwall police were trying to steer away from the idea of terrorism even once they'd discounted the idea of some local burglary that had gone wrong. I simply can't explain that ... I think it's much better to be simply open-minded and say to the public something that's true - 'We don't know what's going on' - rather than appearing to rule something out and then having to reverse their position when new facts emerge."

One of the worst things about two-tier reporting is that they’ll label Ann Widdecombe as “divisive” and present her as an extremist, whilst they present Peter Tatchell as a kind and cuddly activist.

🤯 Listen to this extraordinary exchange between Camilla Tominey and Labour’s Health Secretary James Murray. It is genuinely jaw-dropping.

Camilla: “You’re quite pro-trans, aren’t you? Do you think a woman can have a penis? Because you did previously?”

Murray: “No, I don’t.”

Camilla: “So you’ve changed your mind?”

Murray: “Yes.”

Camilla: “Why?”

Murray stumbles. He says he’s been thinking about the issue over recent years and would not now say trans women are women.

Camilla hits back: “You must have known that before. You are very well educated. How on earth can you have previously thought that a woman can have a penis?”

He had no real answer. Because there isn’t one.

This is not some backbench MP. This is the Secretary of State for Health, the man responsible for the entire NHS, puberty blocker policy, women’s health services, and child safeguarding.

He spent years either believing or pretending to believe that biological sex is fluid and that women can have penises. Only now, when the Cass Review, court rulings, and public opinion have made that position politically toxic, has he magically “changed his mind”.

Think about the damage done while he held that view. The eroded women’s rights. The confused children fast-tracked toward hormones and surgery. The female prisoners and athletes forced to share spaces with biological males. All enabled or ignored by senior Labour figures like him.

This level of ideological delusion at the very top of government is not just embarrassing, it is dangerous. Basic biology should never have been up for debate, let alone something a Health Secretary had to “evolve” on.

[Ro Edge @rosey_nz]

Brilliant submission. 👇

Thank you to all these Biologists with the courage to correct all the misinformation out there about biological sex.

Facts matter, as does the proper definition of sex in our legislation!

[Allison Pearson @AllisonPearson]

The Chief Constable of Essex Police said it was “madness” - the furore after two officers visited my house on Remembrance Sunday.

He described it as “just a five-minute conversation with a journalist”.

There is no “just” about a visit from the police. It is deliberately intimidating and an attack on free speech.

I was accused of a serious offence under the Public Order Act for posting a tweet, a year earlier. No one thinks the tweet came anywhere near the threshold for criminal investigation.

The CPS threw the case out but the process is the punishment.

In the same week, a 15-year-old boy was robbed at knifepoint a few miles from me. Terrified, he called the police and was told it was no longer a live incident!

Feisty tweet - police visit. Knife crime - you’re on your own, mate.

Police now think it’s their business to advise and to lecture to enforce “values”. Usually on the basis of an allegation by a “protected characteristic”.

They look increasingly sinister and ridiculous. They need to return to policing.

Allister did nothing wrong and I hope he joins me in suing the police.

Innocent, decent people must take a stand against tyranny,

Thank god for @SpeechUnion

I think you could set up an NRL team playing out of Christchurch to kick off the 2028 season without any problems.

There's so much junior talent in New Zealand. Add to that a $20 million salary cap, and you'd draw top line union talent in NZ too.

🚨 JUST IN: Sheridan Gorman's angel mom just dropped this raw truth nuke straight to Democrat members of Congress

"I don't understand why it's only the REPUBLICAN side that cares about our American children!"

"Basically what you just did, what you said was, 'I'm so sorry for your loss. I have a daughter too. I have a son. I feel your pain...'"

"You DON'T feel my pain. Because the next words out of your mouth were, 'BUT.'"

"There's no 'BUT' when your child is in a coffin!"

"And I need you to understand that. And if you ever want to talk about it, I'm here, I'm going to buy you a bench. I'm going to buy. You can put that on the record. I'm going to buy Congress the bench. And they can come and sit and hold my hand and look me in the eye and explain to me why illegal immigrants are more important than my daughter. I really want to know what because I don't understand!"

[David Atherton @daveatherton]

Matt Styler, 50, was quietly sitting on a wall 🧱 in Southampton at a Henry Nowak protest.

The @HantsPolice man handled him & gave him a good hiding. They even remanded him into custody on assault charges.

The CPS offered no evidence & was freed. I hope he takes them to the cleaners.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

You mean men, men who claim to be women. You are a national broadcaster that consistently obfuscates facts around sex because you’ve taken an ideological position the public overwhelmingly rejects. This isn’t news, it’s propaganda.

125,000 years ago, the Thames was full of hippos.

2,000 years ago, the Romans grew grapes on the Scottish border.

Today, British councils force people to rip out their aircon because of "unprecedented climate change".

This is why no one in any Western country can cut any welfare spending ever and why we keep going further and further into debt.

Because any time anyone reduces spending on anything, an example can be wheeled out of a person who suffered or even died as a result.

On this basis, there can never be too much spending, too much aid or too much tax.

Indeed, the author of the tweet I am quoting will almost certainly oppose paying taxes of 100% or having 100% of his country's GDP be used in aid to the developing world. Despite the fact that his failure to give all his/his country's money away is demonstrably killing people right now. How many lives could be saved by having all of his money go to Africa? How many millions could be saved by having all of the federal budget be sent to the poorest parts of the world?

A shop owner in my constituency was ignored by the police when he reported shoplifting.

But when he displayed pictures of the thieves, the police showed up - to tell him that those pictures violated GDPR.

Madness. A free run for criminals, while normal people get crushed.

[Ro Edge @rosey_nz]

Freyberg Pool in Wellington tells all women and girls uncomfortable with a man changing in their female only space that it’s they that should all use a third small changing space - rather than asking the one man who says he’s uncomfortable changing in the men’s to do so. Worse still, Wellington CC CEO said staff won’t act until something bad happens. 😡

Good on Emily for doing this petition, and shame on WGCC for being so blatantly misogynistic! For them it seems the safeguarding, feelings and ‘lived experience’ of many girls and women comes second to the feelings of one perverted bloke. Because only a perverted bloke would do this.

Newly released police bodycam footage from just after the murder of Henry Nowak.

Digwa: “But I’ve been racially attacked.”

The officer: “I know, mate, I know,” and adds: “I’m not saying you’ve done anything, mate.”

Digwa moans about being tired and police lights hurting his eyes.

He was never handcuffed, Nowak was as he died.

🚨🚨So there is evidence that those nurses were aware they were being videoed! This changes everything!

Please share my friends - they cannot get away with this 😡
