Dad, husband, some time runner, occasional cyclist, still kick a ball on a 5-a-side pitch. Evertonian.

Of course we don’t need Park Police 🙄🤦‍♀️
I’ve never seen it this bad! Education matters, but it doesn’t stop e-bikes tearing up the Skylark protection area, chasing / herding deer.
Education then enforcement. Bring back Park Police! @theroyalparks #richmondpark @MayorofLondon

@GeoffNorcott @vittorioangelon Did you consider the radical option, I don't know, maybe cut spending and not raising taxes?

@dieworkwear @Shteyngart Beautiful suit but what's your take on the shirt? I would have to go white with a cutback collar but then I'm British.

Every few years, I search for this 2019 clip of Blair again. The bluntness of his ‚power is power!‘ doesn‘t only apply to geopolitics, but equally to energy policy & the delayed energy transition. Raw power. No longer a lack of technologies or knowledge.

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.

@CitySamuel @bbcquestiontime And you were very good!

[Chris Lewis #COYB #NSNO #UTFT @MrCJLewis]

@bbcquestiontime Well done @bbcquestiontime for a mature and sensible discussion on tonight's programme. Everyone given the time to make their points and very little shouting out/over from the audience. Maybe Somerset is the nicest place to live in the UK.

@Carra23 @thetimes Pit touchy Jamie @carra23. Of all the things to get angry about this is the least of them....

My @thetimes column: Why is the UK tiptoeing around these hate merchants?

@BBCMOTD @BBCMOTD why no mention on the post match #SHUEVE analysis from @GaryLineker and others of the foul on Danjuma initially outside the box but continuing inside? New FA rules means this should've been a pen.

@Autism Mandatory autism training for all police officers and grades would certainly help in situations like this. But one thing that worried me is not one of the officers appeared to ask whether what they were doing was sensible and proportionate or not. No senior officer stepped in.

[Chris Lewis #COYB #NSNO #UTFT @MrCJLewis]

@WestYorksPolice As a parent of a child with autism I hope that the @MayorOfWY ensures this disturbing event is investigated thoroughly

Finally found it. Bit disappointed tbh

@tracey_thorn Says everything you need to know about The Guardian. Stopped reading it ages ago.
