Happy New Year! Here's a suitably uplifting story of how a group of teenagers and a biologist replanted a forest in #Kharkiv burned down by a Russian glide bomb. They buried 40,000 acorns, some of which will grow into English oak trees https://t.co/uNEZxWOyew

Sunak commenting on @jk_rowling’s April Fool is an opportunistic unfunny political stunt

🎉🌼🌸April Fools! 🌸🌼🎉

Only kidding. Obviously, the people mentioned in the above tweets aren't women at all, but men, every last one of them.

In passing the Scottish Hate Crime Act, Scottish lawmakers seem to have placed higher value on the feelings of men performing their idea of femaleness, however misogynistically or opportunistically, than on the rights and freedoms of actual women and girls. The new legislation is wide open to abuse by activists who wish to silence those of us speaking out about the dangers of eliminating women's and girls’ single-sex spaces, the nonsense made of crime data if violent and sexual assaults committed by men are recorded as female crimes, the grotesque unfairness of allowing males to compete in female sports, the injustice of women’s jobs, honours and opportunities being taken by trans-identified men, and the reality and immutability of biological sex.

For several years now, Scottish women have been pressured by their government and members of the police force to deny the evidence of their eyes and ears, repudiate biological facts and embrace a neo-religious concept of gender that is unprovable and untestable. The re-definition of 'woman' to include every man who declares himself one has already had serious consequences for women's and girls’ rights and safety in Scotland, with the strongest impact felt, as ever, by the most vulnerable, including female prisoners and rape survivors.

It is impossible to accurately describe or tackle the reality of violence and sexual violence committed against women and girls, or address the current assault on women’s and girls’ rights, unless we are allowed to call a man a man. Freedom of speech and belief are at an end in Scotland if the accurate description of biological sex is deemed criminal.

I'm currently out of the country, but if what I've written here qualifies as an offence under the terms of the new act, I look forward to being arrested when I return to the birthplace of the Scottish Enlightenment.

If you agree with the views set out in this tweet, please retweet it.

Archbishop of Canterbury says peace deal must not be forced on Ukraine https://t.co/P2yvKTPvME

[Archbishop of Canterbury @ArchbishopSarah]

In Bucha and Irpin, I saw the face of Christ in those who have suffered so profoundly and cared so courageously.

The evil unleashed by this invasion is why we must stand in solidarity with the Ukrainian people.

The darkness does not overcome the light.

@MartinSLewis Scottish gas low user, typical yearly bill c. £340. Just got offer of fixed tariff for £607. This could save me about 30 quid but where, then, is the £400 rebate from Government?
