Yes, I mostly retweet as I don't have an original thought in my head.

When our government is allowing this, it shows you that their net zero cult, is absolute fucking bullshit. And this is just one data centre, they’re planning to have hundreds, all over the country…

It's astonishing how many people think that the rights of half the population don't really matter - because they're only women and girls.

One of the tragic side effects of being nonbinary is that it causes you to adopt all the same gestures and mannerisms as someone with a narsacistic personality disorder.😥

@Rob_ThaBuilder This nonsense would’ve stopped in its tracks if they started off calling fathers “ejaculating parent” when they stared calling women “birthing parent”.

I recently spoke at the 2026 International Working Group (IWG) on Women and Sport.

Here are my slides.

In my mental health assessment, the doctor determined that I was: “Deranged and unhinged, with no grip on reality, and the critical thinking skills of a three-year-old” This was the final stage of the interview process, and I've now been approved as a Green Party candidate.

Soccer is the most European of sports because while the athletes are real and there is actual activity, the final outcomes are determined by procedural manipulation of random bureaucrats

Activist: "Farmers are millionaires sitting on land worth a fortune. They can afford the inheritance tax."

Farmer: "How much did I earn last year?"

Activist: "I don't know. A lot, surely."

Farmer: "Twenty-two thousand. Before the tractor broke."

Activist: "But the land's worth millions."

Farmer: "On paper. I can't eat the field or spend it. The only way to turn it into money is to sell it, and then I'm not a farmer, I'm a bloke who used to have a farm."

Activist: "So sell a corner of it."

Farmer: "A corner doesn't work as a farm. You can't run a suckler herd on the bit that's left after the taxman's had his slice. You sell one field, then the next bill comes, then another field. It ends one way."

Activist: "The land only costs that much because you won't sell it."

Farmer: "It costs that much because a hedge fund three counties over wants it for carbon credits and a footballer wants it for the view. Neither of them has ever calved a cow at three in the morning. They set the price. I get the bill."

Activist: "It's still an asset."

Farmer: "It's a workplace that happens to be expensive. You've decided the value of the shop is the same as the wage of the shopkeeper. Come back in February and watch me not be a millionaire in the rain."

I’ve always found the dietary concept of “a square or two of dark chocolate” incredibly depressing. That’s not a treat! Might as well be a couple of radishes.

Astonishing scoop from @johngconnolly in The Spectator today...

The Treasury removed its Numerical Reasoning Test from the department's graduate scheme in 2019 "due to evidence of the test having adverse impact on candidate diversity".

After dropping the requirement HMT boasted that "subsequently, the levels of adverse impact decreased in the 2020 campaign".

The James Webb telescope has just discovered a galaxy near the limit of the observable Universe that 'Manchesterism' can fuck off to.
Then it can fuck off a bit more.

On the spiteful nature of Labour’s education policy, let’s revisit the single decision Bridget Philipson made that has been most revealing, as well as frustrating.

Eton and Star Academies wanted to open a great new free school in Middlesbrough to help more talented young people access the best universities - a noble endeavour backed by funding from Eton as well as a commitment to share their passion and expertise.

The last Conservative government said yes in 2023 under @GillianKeegan, in a victory for local children and parents and for a great campaign led by independent Mayor Andy Preston @centre_right_ and Conservative Councillor @MiekaSmiles.

But astonishingly, Labour locally campaigned against it. Andy McDonald MP raged against Eton as a "hallmark of stifling elitism”.

What did Bridget Philipson do when she became Education Secretary? She killed the project. Prejudice trumped social mobility.

Senior Labour source: “Andy has started a coup against Keir and then demanded Keir slow down the coup until such a time as Andy knows what he’s doing.”
