I suggest @PeterTatchell reads my @thetimes article.
I denounced Operation Midland as a “homosexual witch-hunt”. Ann Widdecombe stood by me. Not one LGBT charity even dared. Tatchell was remarkably silent. Ann stuck her head above the parapet to offer support - privately, publicly & practically.
I was accused of being a child murdering paedophile & was forced to declare “I am a homosexual. I am not a murderer. I am not a paedophile.”
Ann was always at the end of a telephone or an email whenever I needed her. She gave me private, public & practical support when it came at a personal & political cost.
That speaks for itself.

It’s appalling. There is no other word to describe it. Our grandchildren will look back at our time the way we do the witch-burners of the 17th century…. with a bewildered confusion at how an entire generation could have been SO WICKEDLY IDIOTIC.
I’d just like to state that I, as a Scottish person, will be supporting England to beat Norway on Saturday & will be supporting Arthur Fery to beat Zyerev in the Wimbledon semi finals because I applaud British succes, & I’m not a bigoted Scottish nationalist moron like Lara Bird
This 👇 is utterly INSANE 🤯
Labour's ban on 'conversion therapy' makes 'conduct causing someone to believe that they have or do not have a transgender identity' illegal...
Explaining to some one that their biology is fixed and they are not in fact 'born in the wrong body' becomes a criminal offence.
Telling the truth = criminal offence!
This is right down there with the puberty blocker trials on 11 year olds as a basement-level low for this government. Absurd. Scary!
@JohnSwinney Thanks John for taking time out of your busy schedule at the world cup to give us these words of wisdom. Without your guidance one wonders how the world would survive?! We are so lucky to have such a great statesman guiding the people of Scotland....
@TessWhiteUK I’ve been saying this for weeks and yet people kept assuring the match would run into early hours of Monday morning. Seems SNP can’t count money or time.
I will never understand how this constant insulting parody of women is allowed, but parodying any other group is frowned on. Still a man’s world, & getting worse by the day for women’s rights. Shame on any woman clapping this on.
Mastoureh Narimani, an elementary school teacher from Ahvaz, was arrested in her home during a nighttime raid by regime forces on January 11, and a death sentence was issued against her. She's facing execution.
Share this, be her voice, don't let them kill more innocent people.

Iran: where 35,000+ Iranians have been shot dead.
Doctors are being arrested for saving lives.
In Iran, security forces are storming hospitals to finish off wounded protesters.
Now they’re storming doctors’ homes.
At least 40,000 people killed.
More than 300,000 injured.
Doctors who treated the wounded are being hunted.
•Dr. Alireza Golchini, a general surgeon in Qazvin, faces possible execution for posting an Instagram story offering free medical help.
•Dr. Ameneh Soleimani, a physician in Ardabil, was arrested for treating injured protesters.
•Dr. Farhad Nadali, an orthopedic surgeon in Gorgan, was abducted after condemning the killings.
•Dr. Saber Dehghan, a neurosurgeon in Sirjan, arrested for helping the wounded.
•Dr. Babak Pouramin, an emergency physician, has been detained for over a week.
Their crime?
Practicing medicine.
This is what a terrorist state looks like.
