GC woman who wants an Independent Scotland 🕷🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🦕

[Anya Palmer @anyabike]

Surgeon admits HEAD-BUTTING and PUNCHING a woman. The sheriff court gives him an ASBOLUTE DISCHARGE (no punishment whatsoever) and now the MPTS lets him off with a rap on the knuckles. WTAF?

And no doubt NHS Scotland will now keep him on. It's not as if he misgendered anyone!

Andrew Galbraith, 50, was convicted of coercive control after a campaign of abuse… and walks free.

His wife recorded nearly 100 incidents of him trapping her and shouting threats. While heavily pregnant, she endured him calling her a “useless c***” and a “spastic,” telling her she would “probably miscarry.” She gave birth two days later.

“He would follow me, block doorways, and confine me in rooms. I felt trapped,” she said.

Galbraith was sentenced to 200 hours unpaid work and a 5-year ban on contact.

Failing to jail perpetrators of coercive control dismisses the severity of their abuse and the relentless escalating pattern of harm they inflict on their victims.

I will be on @TimesRadio at about 950 welcoming @_KateForbes support for single sex spaces & giving my views on what the Scottish government & parliament need to do to clarify the law & to reverse policy capture in
our institutions #IStandWithSandiePeggie

I remember being shocked the first time I discovered that men - right here in the UK - could change their birth certificate and passport to ‘female’, wiping any trace of previous identity and therefore any offences.
And now we find doctors can do same…

BREAKING: @Telegraph reveals how General Medical Council "wipes" the disciplinary records of doctors that transition

@HJoyceGender: "There are extremely serious implications for the GMC issuing new numbers – essentially new identities – to 62 doctors"

[Lewis Brackpool @Lewis_Brackpool]

The UK government has finally responded to my FOI requests about meetings with Bill Gates and BlackRock’s Larry Fink.

After months of delays, here’s what they said:

- Bill Gates: After repeatedly delaying my request, the Cabinet Office now claims no records exist of his meeting with government officials in October 2024.

If no records exist, why were they concerned about releasing them?

- Larry Fink: They confirmed the Prime Minister met with him on November 21, 2024, but are refusing to disclose what was discussed, citing exemptions for policy formulation and commercial interests.

If there was nothing sensitive to hide, why not release even a summary of the topics covered?

The contradictions in their response raise serious questions about transparency.

I break it all down here:

LIVERPOOL: Illegal immigrant Sayed Miah, 44, has been JAILED for 12 years for r@ping a 15 YO girl.

He was only identified in 2021 when CSA images were found on his phone & he was convicted of making category A, B & C CSA images. His DNA matched DNA data collected from the r@pe.

[Jill Foster @JournalistJill]

This young woman was badly failed. Not only was she sexually assaulted by a superior but her own line manager harassed her with over 4,600 messages, showing her a 15-page "love story" he had written, detailing his ‘fantasies’ about her. Dreadful. https://t.co/HieHwuCF3l

Scottish First Minister @JohnSwinney and NHS Scotland are simply wrong about the Equality Act.

It does not require that employers make “case-by-case” decisions about excluding males.

Employers are required by the 1992 Workplace Regulations to provide separate-sex facilities. They can only do this by being clear about who can use which facilities. This is not up for negotiation.

[Bruce Bowman @boswelltoday]

I’m sure it’s not just my feed—everyone else seems to be waking up to this issue too. People who never paid attention before are suddenly reading the actual law and realising women’s rights exist.

The political class thought we were too stupid or scared to push back. That illusion is gone.

Wherever the Peggie case lands, millions of women now understand their rights—and they won’t be gaslit again.

[MurrayBlackburnMackenzie @mbmpolicy]

This article in today’s Telegraph highlights that the Police Scotland ‘Transitioning at Work’ policy is in breach of employment law. We have been raising concerns about this policy with PS and the SPA since it was first published in 2019.🧵

They can spin it however they want, but this is the Bovaer effect and it serves them bloody well right

I hope everyone is continuing to boycott Arla

Let's send them to the bin folks

Extraordinary special treatment “an upheld suspension, which would normally be visible on the register for years, depending on the circumstances, would be obscured from public view if that suspension had been incurred by a doctor pre-transition.” https://t.co/8mV5pCUODe

[Michael Foran @michaelpforan]

The First Minister is citing guidance that is clearly advocating a breach of the Workplace (Health, Safety, and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and, by extension, the Equality Act.

[Michael Foran @michaelpforan]

Good Lord give me the confidence of a gender studies academic trying to ‘correct’ lawyers on the law. It’s like bringing a banana to a gun fight.

[Michelle Thomson @MichelleThomson]

This is an excoriating article by @Claire_Ob - and I commend her bravery in writing it. I hope some humility emerges at how badly the body politic has got this wrong. If the original thought was to improve transgender rights: it has made matters worse and markedly so for women.

[Simon Johnson @simon_telegraph]

Staff working at ⁦@scotgov⁩ and ⁦@PoliceScotland⁩ who self-identify as women are allowed to use female toilets and changing rooms. ⁦@michaelpforan⁩ says the policies are a ‘clear breach’ of employment laws 1/3 https://t.co/EpeXW7ULUV

[Bernie @Artemisfornow]

LABOUR - Well this is interesting.

▪️Nigel Pocklington is the CEO of Good Energy, a UK renewable energy firm (25% owned by Ecotricity).

▪️His brother, Jeremy Pocklington, just happens to be Permanent Secretary at the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ)—the department shaping green energy policy.

So, the top civil servant responsible for Net Zero policies has a brother running a private company profiting from those very policies.

Oh

“As a mother and as a woman I can say unequivocally that I support single-sex spaces, and they are a critical part of how we protect women.” Bravo @_KateForbes. Another @theSNP woman standing against Sturgeon’s Self ID legacy. https://t.co/OHUqf6OfKk

[Joanna Cherry KC @joannaccherry]

A searing analysis by Scottish Human Rights Commissioner @claire_ob1 of the “binning of inconvenient legal truths:” on self ID not just by our politicians but also by the Scottish Human Rights Commission. This merits a public inquiry.
