He can take back Thames Water, and show the British public that he’s serious about putting people over profit

This whole thread is brilliant. But this is the single most extraordinary stat: if women committed serious offences at the same rate as men who ID as women do (using Scottish figs), more than 10,000 women would be in jail for such crimes. In reality there are just 77.
@CjgbVictoria@ForWomenScot@BSIC_XX Sexual predators will do virtually anything to gain access to their victims--a fact well known in the prison service, according to a female prison governor.
And what could be easier than dressing up as a woman and claiming to be "trans".
Were women to be convicted of offences carrying terms of over 4 years at the same rate as Transwomen, there would be at least 10k women in prison for these crimes instead of 77.
There would be a similar number of men (it is actually 2787)
Even if we use the higher figure for general TW population (using half the non specified category) it equates to about 6700 for both women and men.
@DoreyMeryl67438@salltweets It's not always "mental illness"--which might be equated with gender dysphoria or gender dysmorphia.
It can be sexual fetishism: autogynephilia, as one of the male paraphilias
Amazon made £55 MILLION in profit in the UK last year, but only paid a fraction of what they should in tax. Jeff Bezos is rubbing his hands together, avoiding tax, while we pay our dues. Don't think that's right? Sign the petition now. https://t.co/BpEJJwCDOQ
Politics isn't working. It's time to call time on the broken culture in Westminster and have a fresh start with a fair voting system. Add your name to @electoralreform's call to #MakeSeatsMatchVotes https://t.co/JLkFGq9IKV
Take action for the uncontacted Hongana Manyawa people! They could be completely wiped out by a massive Indonesian project to produce nickel for electric car batteries.
Powerful companies are involved. The Hongana Manyawa urgently need your support. https://t.co/malaM9H7ph
@Jebadoo2 I think it's much more likely to be ignorance, than deliberate lying. Polanski has already demonstrated his ignorance on other topics--eg modern monetary theory--that as a party leader he should know about. He appears to be driven by ambition & elected on charisma: not ability.
1/ Zack and pals are peddling the attack line “no jury convicted them of terrorism” to try to undermine the sentences in this case. Let me explain why this is fundamentally wrong. In a criminal trial the jury is the judge of the facts and the judge is the judge of the law.
@mrs_counter@NadiaWhittomeMP There is, however, the 0.018% of the population (18 people per 100,000) with Differences / Disorders of Sexual Developnent (DSDs)--which can make it harder to tell which sex they are, without genetic testing.
Even so, anyone with a Y chromosome is male.
