Turns out @MayorofLondon was telling the truth and pro-Israel trolls like Lampert were the ones lying and gaslighting us.

People making the point that this is about creeping authoritarianism aimed at adults, which it is, but the ongoing crusade for "parent's rights" e.g. to reaffirm that children are the property of their parents and deserve zero autonomy whatsoever is also a crucial aspect of this.

This is extraordinary and it needs to be seen.

Jolyon Maugham KC of the Good Law Project has just published a WhatsApp message sent to Wes Streeting on 11 July 2024, days after Labour won the general election.

The message reads: “Promise I won’t make a habit of messaging. But we are going to have to decide today how hard to slide in on your decision to defend Atkins’ regulations. There is a world in which we coordinate and don’t slide in very hard at all, indeed protect you politically. But we can’t do it unless your team coordinates with us.”

Read that carefully.

This was sent in the context of a High Court challenge to the puberty blocker ban. Streeting was being asked whether he would make Victoria Atkins’ temporary ban permanent. According to Maugham, Streeting prevaricated and then announced he would make it permanent the morning the hearing started.

Maugham says he and colleagues who knew Streeting tried on multiple occasions to reach out to him. They were all blanked. Every single one of them.

His conclusion was clear. By refusing to even speak to the Good Law Project on an issue of huge importance to trans people, Streeting was telling them loud and clear that they could have no influence over the government. There was no point even trying to be critical friends to Labour.

Wes Streeting is now on LBC saying he fears the clock being turned back on LGBTQIA+ progress.

The man who made the puberty blocker ban permanent. Who blanked every attempt to discuss trans healthcare with the people challenging it in court. Who ignored WhatsApp messages from one of the country’s leading human rights lawyers.

Now ‘fears’ the clock being turned back.
The record is the record. And now it is public.

@wesstreeting is a transphobic bigot

You say that post-Floyd DEI training created the policing culture that killed Henry Nowak. This is testable. If you're right, the pattern should begin after 2020. It doesn't.

Christopher Alder, 1998. Falklands veteran. Dragged handcuffed and unconscious into a Hull custody suite. Left face down on the floor. Officers stood around while he choked to death. Ten minutes before anyone helped. Inquest: unlawful killing. Five officers charged. All acquitted.

Sean Rigg, 2008. Schizophrenic man, died at Brixton police station after restraint. Inquest found "unsuitable and unnecessary force" and police failings "more than minimally" contributed to his death.

Robert Edwards, 2011. Died in a Suffolk cell. The IPCC found police "failed to take appropriate care" and didn't carry out proper welfare checks. The coroner said he should never have been deemed fit for detention.

Wayne Couzens, 2015–2021. Reported for indecent exposure in 2015. Kent Police had his name, address, and plate number. The investigating sergeant knew his brother, also a police officer. No action. Failed vetting twice, still became a Met officer. Exposed himself days before murdering Sarah Everard. The investigating officer lied about CCTV. Three forces had twenty years of red flags. Nothing to do with DEI

Post-Floyd, still no DEI involvement: Stephen Reardon, 2023, had seizures in a police van while the officer said he was "playing games". Died. Jerome Cowan, 2022, found unresponsive in a library, officers failed to provide first aid. Died. A man at St Erth, 2022, left drunk and vulnerable outside a railway station on a cold night, officers drove past without stopping. Died. All officers dismissed or facing gross misconduct.

Same pattern every time. A person in distress needs help, officers dismiss it or walk away. It happened in 1998, 2008, 2011, 2022, 2023, and 2025. DEI didn't create it. It predates it by a generation.

You also claim "determined, institutional silence". The Speaker acknowledged the case on 1 June. The Home Secretary called it "a horrifying act" and Digwa's false accusation "an evil act" in an oral statement to the Commons on 2 June. Debated in both Houses. Starmer and Baddenoch clashed over it. Front-page news for a week. There is no silence. You invented it because your baseless argument needs it.

You ask pretentiously what you call a system where a dying teenager's word counts for less than his killer's.

I'd ask you: what do you call a system where Christopher Alder choked to death on a custody floor in 1998 while officers stood around, and twenty-seven years later Henry Nowak bled to death saying the same words?

That is an ideology. But not the one you're describing. It's an institutional ideology of indifference to people in police custody, and it has been killing people for decades.

Blaming a training course that's existed for five years for a rot that's existed for hundreds of years isn't analysis. It's a deflection that protects the actual dangerous ideology.

Nowhere in the source post is ‘DEI’ mentioned, because DEI is specifically American terminology - it’s now been weaponised by the US far right and it’s being pushed on the UK by US far right actors. This account is either acting in bad faith or isn’t British.
