@gilescoren Noo! Love this podcast! It’s genuinely my favourite.

[Nick Wallis @nickwallis]

This article makes you feel sad, fearful and finally angry at the fuckers who decided to green light this experiment on kids. I defy any supporter of this trial to read it and still think it’s a grand idea.

@LissaKEvans Superb opening sentence. I adore these books! Thanks for creating them.

[Rosie Duffield MP @RosieDuffield1]

So just to be clear, it's completely ok to edit politician's speeches, but never ok for women presenters to silently express the views of the majority of people by highlighting the absurdity of Orwellian language-policing...? (Only *women* can and do get pregnant).

@CUSocOfWomen Good for you! Congratulations and thank you!

[Colleen McKenna @Mckenna4C]

@johnarmstrong5 Excellent interviews tonight!

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

This is a national disgrace.

How have things come to this?

Starmer pledged that Jews are welcome and safe in Britain. That he stands shoulder to shoulder with the Jewish community and will use the full force of his government to prove it.

Will he back those words with action and guarantee that Jewish fans can walk into any football stadium in this country?

If not, it sends a horrendous and shameful message: there are parts of Britain where Jews simply cannot go.

@nickwallis Really appreciate your reporting today Nick!

[Colleen McKenna @Mckenna4C]

@nickwallis @Glinner Done! Thanks for your excellent journalism.

BREAKING: 💥 Single-sex spaces must be based on biology, @EHRC says.

New statutory guidance will warn shops, gyms, NHS and public bodies that women could sue for harassment if orgs allow trans-identifying men into women's spaces @thetimes

@nickwallis Thanks very much Nick. Really appreciate the detailed account.

Labour had a chance to admit they got it wrong. Instead, Keir Starmer told Bridget Phillipson to gaslight the Commons with a shameless rewrite of history — pretending Labour had always been on the side of women. Nobody bought it.

They claimed the govt accepts the Supreme Court ruling — yet Labour, SNP, and Lib Dem MPs queued up to attack it. One even called for puberty blockers to be brought back for children.

They refused to criticise their unions who vow to ignore the law.
Refused to apologise to Rosie Duffield.
Refused to recognise the bravery of JK Rowling or Sharron Davies.

I’ve always known what a woman is. I didn't need a Supreme Court ruling to say so. And under my leadership, the Conservative Party will hold this government to account 👇

Scottish women today:

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

Spare a thought today for the UK employers, government departments, health boards, academic institutions and sporting bodies who've been breaking equality law to appease activist groups. So many HR manuals to pulp. So many out-of-court settlements to pay. #SupremeCourt

A stunning victory for women. And for science. Nice to have something to celebrate, for a change.

[Giles Udy @GilesUdy]

The internet never forgets.
Don’t let these people either.
They stood on the side of insanity and nothing they now do or say is going to erase that.

[James Esses @JamesEsses]

I have a massive smile plastered on my face.

The country (and the rest of the world who will be looking on) owe a debt of gratitude to the brave women who took on the State and won.

[Faber Books @FaberBooks]

‘History says, Don’t hope
On this side of the grave.
But then, once in a lifetime
The longed-for tidal wave
Of justice can rise up,
And hope and history rhyme.’

Seamus Heaney was born on this day in 1939.

@RosieKayK2CO @TheEveningStand Well said! This ideological posturing is tarnishing so much of the arts.
