[The Sting @TheStingisBack]

In Witness (1985), director Peter Weir makes a brilliant stylistic choice here: the instant Samuel notices a news clipping, all dialogue and ambient sound drop out. The sudden silence, broken by a single, chilling synth note, allows the visuals to deliver the film’s key twist.

Often called the best-preserved medieval street in Europe, The Shambles in York has been a place of trade for nearly 1,000 years. Mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, this historic street is so old it predates the Crusades.

“Nah”, says I

[Richard Dawkins @RichardDawkins]

Belatedly, a government guidance document upholds the Supreme Court ruling that a woman is – guess what? – a woman. 70 MPs have signed a rearguard motion opposing it. Presumably they think a man is a woman if he says he is. Among them is Layla Moran, for whom I used to vote.

Thank you @sharrond62 for your question in @UKHouseofLords on the importance of being able to challenge male players in women’s sport.

@soniasodha @andrealj65 Yes we will.

[Sonia Sodha @soniasodha]

Not a single MP identified anything the Code got wrong about the law in the Commons statement on Monday. There was just lots of whinging about the fact they didn’t like the law. Well, you’re MPs. You’re in a better position than most to campaign to change it. I and other feminists will oppose you every step of the way though.

@Jeniwren00 @TerfyMcTerfy @stellacreasy Really? Her money doesn’t rely on nonsense. She’s an MP; she can turn back from the nonsense, can’t she?

[Jools @JoolsJuevans]

@stellacreasy You’ll kill the Labour Party with your stupid identity politics. Have you any idea what normal people think of this?

[Louisa Jones @FilmLecturer]

@JoolsJuevans @stellacreasy This. This, this, everyday!

[Louisa Jones @FilmLecturer]

@TerfyMcTerfy @stellacreasy But why?

[For Women Scotland @ForWomenScot]

Fantastic read from @PaulKnaggs
"the political damage...is measured in every working-class woman who watches Labour MPs sign a motion against the legal clarity she has waited years for, and draws the obvious conclusion. It is measured in every constituency where the word ‘Labour’ no longer carries the meaning it was intended to carry. The party that was built to represent the interests of those with the least power in society has, on this question, positioned itself against the sex-based protections of half the population."

[Sex Matters @SexMattersOrg]

NEW: Poll shows that the vast majority of people prefer straightforward single-sex facilities in workplaces and public spaces.

This varies little by age or voting pattern. Politicians who prevaricate over the Supreme Court judgment are out of step with the public.

Sex Matters commissioned an independent, nationally representative poll. We asked:

“For each of the following, do you prefer them to be single sex or mixed sex?”

@stellacreasy Men are not Women, Stella.

Stop this nonsense.
Just stop it.

Widely acclaimed as one of the greatest duets of all time, this 1987 archival footage from Ibiza captures the iconic song "Barcelona." It stands as a vivid testament to the perfect fusion of Montserrat Caballé’s sublime operatic vocals and Freddie Mercury’s captivating stage presence—a masterpiece that left an indelible mark on music history and went on to become the official and defining anthem of the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona.
