She's hoping for a gold in the women's kayak single KL3 on Fri 6th September.

KL3 = moderately affected movement affect in one leg, highly affected in one foot and ankle, or the absence of limbs.

Laura Sugar competes in the para canoe.
This is the third different sport she's competed in for GB. When she was born, doctors told her parents that she'd never go on to be an athlete due to club foot.

In Tokyo, she won gold in kayaking and has won four consecutive world titles.

I'm not saying @jk_rowling is a male. I'm just saying we have zero proof that she's not a male. And until we see her chromosomes, can she be trusted in women's spaces?

We’ve written to the Health Secretary to raise our concerns on the ongoing discussion around puberty blockers.

Everyone knows Labour are going to win the election, but if you’re feeling like there’s no point in voting as the outcome is a foregone conclusion, I’d like to draw your attention to something really radical that is on offer tomorrow: 1/8

[Beth Mead MBE @bmeado9]

Disgusted to see this decision, the women’s game is on the up but we still have committees making these horrible decisions. It’s not good enough, these young girls deserve better. I’d love to send the team a signed England shirt to keep them inspired @ThornabyFCWomen ⚽️

Krishnan Guru-Murthy, "Your friends at The Spectator have used your own methodology to cost your plans. They say it would cost £3,000. Do you accept that?"

Bim Afolami, "No I don't. I haven't seen that figure at all"

KGM, "They did it the same way you did it. The point is, this is a dishonest way to present numbers, isn't it?"

BA, "I'm afraid it isn't"

@CRobertson_LD @PFarmbrough @adamboxer1 Nothing about how increasing pay for trainees will help with retention.

Hi for those of you who might be new-ish to the #PostOfficeScandal could I possibly recommend my book? Currently lurking in the low three-thousands in the Amazon charts but still sporting five full stars after more than 1000 reviews. It's technically at 4.8/5. It briefly went down to 4.5 stars after it started aggregating at 4.7/5, but a recent run of 5-star ratings got it back up to 4.8/5 which re-lit the second bit of the 5th star. Not that I've been paying that much attention (ahem).

ANYWAY, please do buy my book. Amazon are selling the paperback lower than the RRP. it will be in your hands tomorrow. Also I think it's only going for 99p on Kindle which from a royalty perspective is not literally giving it away, it's actually giving it away.

If you don't want to send Dave Amazon your money, please do order it direct from the publishers (Bath Publishing) rather than anywhere else as they deserve the cash. And if you buy my #DeppvHeardtheunrealstory book (currently celebrating its one year anniversary with far fewer stars because a bunch of Depponauts went tonto on it) from them at the same time you get a 20% discount and it just about nulls out the postage.

Not sure what to link to now...

Amazon, I reckon:

There's a lot of hate-farming fuss about flags and what some see as the perversion of the original Union Jack.

Much of the fake rage has emanated from the Tory party, which is ironic given how many times they've bastardised it for their own use.

It's been a tree...

The Crawley runners loved the County Cross County yesterday. Thank you to the awesome leaders from @Oriel_PE, @Bennett_PE and all the Teachers and SGO's for making it happen #CrawleySchGames

On International women's day let's remember that there is discrimination still happening in sport.

All sports.

women are not equal until "all" woman can play sport without fear of prejudice or hate.

[BBC More or Less @BBCMoreOrLess]

Is funding for schools in England at a record high ‘whatever way you look at it,’ as Education Secretary Gillian Keegan told BBC Breakfast?
