Journalism 101: what’s the story about? Is it about a trade union discriminating against its female members who’ve paid their subs for decades? Or is it about how a working class woman had the cheek to find funding to take on her powerful union?

[Mark of Mayfair XX @RogerofCroydon]

.. this is poor from Channel 4 .. speculative reporting ..

[Channel 4 News @Channel4News]

Scottish nurse Sandie Peggie is taking action against her own union, the Royal College of Nursing. She says her union reps didn't support her when she was suspended for complaining about using the same changing room as her transgender colleague Dr Beth Upton.

This is her second tribunal. Previously a judge upheld a harassment claim against her employer NHS Fife arising from the same facts.

Her team said they can’t tell Channel 4 News who is funding the case for legal reasons but they did say it was a 'left wing individual'.

JK Rowling's office won’t confirm if she is financially backing her.

Cambridge has abandoned its plan to investigate the hiring of Jason Arday. It will only investigate whether it offered him enough support.

The UK Government cut £30 million from the Military because they were so short on cash

They then gave £88 Million to Gaza

🚨BREAKING🚨

One of the most prominent drag queens in Germany has been spared prison after being convicted of possessing child sexual abuse material for the second time.

Mario Olszinski, who performed under the stage name "Jurassica Parka," was a well-known gay rights activist and was formerly appointed the "Queer Berlin Ambassador" for the city's Place2Be tourism campaign.

Olszinski was charged after investigators found child sexual abuse material on his electronic devices during a search of his home in July of 2025.

Olszinski was ultimately sentenced to ten months in prison, but the sentence has been suspended, meaning he will not spend any time behind bars so long as he complies with the court's conditions.

This is the second time Olszinski has avoided prison after being convicted of possessing child sexual abuse materials.

He was previously convicted in 2023 of distributing, acquiring and possessing child sexual abuse material and was sentenced to pay a fine of €11,200.

I won't be shaking the hands of the Iranian Regime.

Instead, I told it to them straight after their "MPs" had the audacity to lecture the world on women’s rights at the Inter-Parliamentary Union a few weeks ago.

A regime that killed Mahsa Amini over her hijab, imprisoned women who mourned her, and continues to execute women for demanding their freedom has no credibility on women’s rights.

I won't allow Iranian MPs to be in the same room as me and not feel shame for their nation's war on women. Woman, Life, Freedom.

It's easy to forget that Tony Blair had been in power since 1694 when the Bank of England was founded. Good job Brain of Britain Liz Truss is here to remind us.

Naomi Cunningham’s questioning is showing the institutional belief in gender identity theory *inside* the top echelons of the Royal College of Nursing. This belief led them to be discriminatory in their treatment of her. @michaelpforan explains why this matters

Britain Can Find £88 Million for Palestine. Its Army Is Told to Find £30 Million in Cuts

There are moments when two government announcements, placed side by side, tell you more about political priorities than a hundred speeches. Britain has committed more than £88 million this financial year to humanitarian and early recovery support for Palestinians. At home, the British Army has reportedly been ordered to find savings of around £30 million, with major training exercises suspended and reservists losing service days.

Read those figures again. £88 million for Palestine. £30 million squeezed from the training of the men and women whose first responsibility is defending Britain.

The package forms part of a wider £127 million bilateral aid allocation for Palestine in 2026/27, intended for healthcare, clean water, sanitation, waste management and rehabilitation for children injured in the conflict. Those are stated humanitarian purposes, and money earmarked for a hospital is not the same as money handed to a militia.

But that distinction has a history of not holding. The Palestinian Authority already runs a payment scheme, worth over $300 million a year, that rewards convicted terrorists according to sentence length. In Gaza, donors from the EU to Qatar have watched their own materials, water pipes, concrete, fuel, repurposed into rocket casings and tunnel networks, with Hamas leaders openly admitting as much on camera. Money is fungible. Aid that frees up funds for a hospital frees up other funds for something else entirely. Britain has no serious mechanism to guarantee that £88 million stays confined to bandages and water pumps.

Meanwhile the Army is being asked to save roughly one third of that sum, at the exact moment Europe faces its gravest security environment in decades. Defence officials have warned the measures risk weakening Britain's military credibility. Ukraine has shown what modern industrial warfare actually consumes in men, ammunition and armour. NATO wants greater readiness. Somewhere inside Whitehall, someone still decided that training exercises were the place to find £30 million.

The government will say these are different budgets. Of course they are. Treasury accounting can put money into whatever departmental boxes ministers choose. The taxpayer has only one pocket, and that taxpayer is not in a generous mood. Real wages have barely moved in years, mortgage costs remain painful, energy bills are soaring, and household budgets are stretched thin enough that asking people to accept squeezed defence spending while £88 million heads abroad, to a territory whose governing bodies have a documented record of diverting aid toward violence, is a harder sell than ministers seem to appreciate.

It's also worth asking what recipients of British generosity, more broadly, actually think of the country supplying it. Britain's aid budget flows disproportionately toward states and territories where Western values are treated with open contempt, and where women's basic freedoms are routinely stripped away by law. That's not a reason to abandon every humanitarian instinct. It is a reason to stop pretending gratitude, partnership or shared values are guaranteed to follow the cheque.

A government has countless responsibilities, but one precedes all the others: defence of the realm. Without security, everything else is academic.

Britain can afford compassion abroad. It cannot afford compassion abroad purchased through diminished readiness at home, financed by a public already struggling to make ends meet, and directed toward institutions with a track record of letting aid slip toward the wrong hands. If ministers can commit £88 million to Palestine, they should explain to British soldiers why finding £30 million for their training has apparently become too difficult, and to British taxpayers why their patience is the resource nobody in Whitehall thought worth budgeting for.

Wait, so our oh-so-ethical Foreign Secretary won’t talk to Israel but has a friendly sit down with the representative from the Islamic Republic of Iran which killed 40,000 protesters in January and is still killing protesters?
The world grows ever more upside down.

[Jonathan Hinder MP @Jonathan_Hinder]

Lads, the women are saying “NO”…

That’s your cue to sod off.

It’s really simple.

What kind of socialist protests against women organising collectively within their own political party?

[Clash Report @clashreport]

Tony Blair on Gaza:

There is talk of free Palestine, but for Palestinians living in Gaza, they don't need a slogan; they need a solution.

To be free, Gaza must live in peace with its neighbors and with itself.

And this cannot happen if it's governed by those who use Gaza as a base for war against a neighbor it has no chance of defeating.

Morning. My report on Day 2 of Peggie v RCN: Trans-Organisational Madness.

Weird things happen when gender ideology gets into an organisation. It's a sort of fear/taboo cognitive dissonance which prevents rational institutional thought.

I find it fascinating that supposed left-wingers are campaigning to put male sex offenders in women’s prisons, trying to shut down women-only rape crisis centres and cheering on Big Pharma’s lucrative move into chemical castration of minors, but here we are.
