Yesterday this MP voted to support a clinical trial of puberty blockers for children as young as 11.

Today she’s proudly promoting Lush’s campaign to end animal testing.

Oh the irony. And what an interesting choice of campaign partner.

Lush has a history of promoting gender-affirming healthcare for children and young people, and was criticised only last week over a display that many felt glorified mastectomy scars associated with gender transition.

End testing on animals.
Support a puberty blocker trial for children.

Some people may struggle to reconcile those positions.

Incredibly insightful article by Aidan O’Neill KC.

A 20 year long experiment on the most vulnerable and traumatised people in our society - women in the female estate. 20 years!

- Miserable pipsqueak
- A demented Dalek on speed
- A foetus in a jar
These are just a fraction of the insults directed at @michaelgove by @UKLabour and its activists during his time as Education Secretary. All this pearl-clutching from Labour MPs in relation to @KemiBadenoch's row with @bphillipsonMP is pathetic. They need to get over themselves. @bphillipsonMP's class war has caused school closures, cost people their jobs and messed up the education of countless children, many of them with special needs. She deserves to be called out for it. 'Spiteful class warrior' is the least of it.

This is the bit the politicians dont see. These are things too small to call the police, but have changed our once low crime, high trust societies.

My daughters primary school is now sending out emails to warn our children to be vigilant walking to and from school.

We never had this.

We had "dont talk to strangers" and I told my children that no good man would ever speak to a child he didnt know.

But this is endless, constant and daily and not reported anywhere, in any data. But its real. And our children have to face a gauntlet of sexual harassment to and from school.

Im old enough to remember the feminists complaining about builders whistling - where are they now, when little girls are asked for sex and air dropped photos of foreign mens privates, or accosted and dragged in to shops, dragged in to bushes and raped... ?

How to manufacture a crisis

A WHO commission wants to declare climate change a “global health emergency.” Their big evidence? Rising heat deaths in Europe. But once you adjust for an aging society, the “crisis” essentially disappears.

Even more dishonestly, the report conceals that cold deaths have declined by approximately 250 times as much as heat deaths have risen.

Meet James Purnell, Andy Burnham's Chief of Staff. In 2018 he devised the BBC's LGBT+ Plan. This enforced 'preferred pronouns' and greater portrayal of "LGBT+ identities". The man behind the glut of drag queens on TV is Burnham's right hand man. Dearie me.

How does the Scottish Prison Service know which "women" to relocate to men's prisons?

Are they guessing at random?

Communism through (my) ages:
1) When I was 15, a teacher told me "It isn't as bad as they say, and makes a lot of sense."
2) At about 19, college friends, "Socialism isn't communism."
3) At 20, on meeting my grandfather-in-law, "They are evil. We escaped in 1949."
4) At 30, "China is a wonderful developing Democracy"
5) At 35, I was sent to communist China on business. It was a crowded, smelly, dirty, factory of despair and hopelessness. This I saw with my own eyes.
6) At 36, "China doesn't count. Successful socialism is in northern Europe."
7) I moved to northern Europe when I was 40. It was much nicer than China, but also felt like I was living in the past. I had to wait 6 months for a hernia operation.
8) When I was about 45, the migrant crisis began. The socialist/globalist/pacifist allowed them entry into every country, regardless how many crimes they committed along the way. Just 20 minutes from my house, in Calais, I was shocked to see migrants jumping onto trucks, breaking open the doors, scattering the contents across the highway, then climbing in. They went through the Chunnel and got out in England.
9) At 52, the soft socialism around me had transformed into globalism. I was told I had to call people by their preferred pronouns, though it was a lie, and even if I didn't know what the preferences were. I quit.
10) I returned to the US, and am now 60. "Socialism" is no longer a dirty word here. People openly espouse the virtues of it. Politicians run as socialists and win.

Socialism has taken many forms, from the Bolshevism of Russia, to the CCP in China, the Nazis in Germany, Fascists in Italy, and the many forms of it found in Latin America. It is one of the two most destructive ideologies on earth. It is designed to deprive, despirit, and murder everything that comes in contact with it.

Socialism is a great lie at every level. It helps no one, not even those who benefit the most. This is because the cost is the imposition of one's will on everyone else, and that destroys the soul of the usurper and the life of the oppressed.

Socialism always fails on its own, but only after destroying almost everything in its train. It can also be conquered. Those are the options.

No, stupid, since official records began 78 years ago,

That rules out the hottest days ever witnessed - in the 1930s.

A supposedly smart ECB board member claims climate disasters are worsening

Media bias makes it feel that way — more dramatic coverage

Reality: Weather-related deaths and costs dropping for decades bc adaptation, wealth, and resilience

Stop scaring people and do your job

‘The fact that the NHS is getting ready to run a live experiment on vulnerable children before it has even established the fate of those it has already experimented on is utterly damning’

[Sharron Davies HoL MBE @sharrond62]

9000 GIDS patients 2000 given puberty blockers yet when these clinics were asked for the data & follow up info they refused to supply it. This is a scandal of epic malpractice proportions. It’s why the Tavistock was closed down after whistleblowers spoke out. Don’t do new experiments, find that data

I already want Andy Burnham to resign and he isn’t even Prime Minister yet.

Andy Burnham to make ‘Northern’ a protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010.

[Reem Ibrahim @ReemAmirIbrahim]

I do find the fact that Andy Burnham was not even an MP a week ago, was parachuted in, and could be the PM in a matter of weeks, rather distasteful.
