So much of what is best in us is bound up in our love of family, that it remains the measure of our stability because it measures our sense of loyalty.

3/ So the committee kicks off with about half an hour of the kids table saying it is COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE to ever tell if a bloke is a bloke if he puts a dress on. MAS has to patiently explain people have eyes and seem to be able to work it out. MPs think this is genocide.

[Dennis Noel Kavanagh @Jebadoo2]

This is a really well thought out point of substance. No matter how miraculous modern science is, we still have no single reliable way of ever telling men and women apart, mots of us just got lucky in our relationships. I completely agree with this disgruntled medieval peasant.

A good start to the Holyrood career of @StephenGethins

@Artemisfornow @shadeybluefox Alien cultures work against the culture here, it undermines it and our laws unless we apply our laws to such practices. So why are we supporting men to have several wives via benefits? It’s crazy

[Bernie @Artemisfornow]

Just when you think Claire Fox couldn’t be more brilliant … she is. Here’s Claire on Alien Culture.

“We do not think for example that stoning women for adultery is modern, that it’s just a cultural practice, what’s wrong with that? We do not think that child marriage is an interesting cultural expression. We have to say that’s a backward medieval thing. So ‘Alien culture’ was well chosen, it’s importing Alien culture”

Exactly what we were all thinking🔥

What does Dorothy Bain do all day? Where can she be found? Why isn't there a reporter doorstepping her there and asking her to explain her office's refusal to prosecute the perpetrators of a serious crime who have publicly admitted their guilt?https://t.co/Bhba62RlEz

[Maya Forstater @MForstater]

The City of London is defying the Supreme Court in pledging to carry on with allowing men into the women's bathing pond.

Which men? City bosses say they will leave that to the "common sense" of frontline staff.

Lawful...? We'll see them in court in November.

@thomsonrichardg Don’t think you are being entirely honest here. No freebie here

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

The SNP’s latest use of freebies to buy votes (which the Scots keep falling for).
Of course, it’s not a free £10,000 grant—it’s a shared-equity scheme (like an interest-free equity loan) where the Scottish Government takes a proportional ownership stake in the property, which is repaid later.
You need to qualify for a mortgage in the usual way first. Then you can take Scot Gov’s £10k to help with the deposit.
If that comes to say, 5% of the purchase price, when you come to sell, say for £300,000, then you will pay back Scot Gov £15,000.

Both sides eh? I don’t think so (share link)

@joss_prior @DalgetySusan Scepticism and criticism isn’t hate. It’s a reasonable testing of an ideology and culture which demands their will be done and which stonewalls any discussion

[deborah ferguson @dmf500]

@DownWithTheSNP ‘Take his son into women’s toilets’ ?? Why would you? And why would a grown man want to join the girl guides ? 😳

[deborah ferguson @dmf500]

@salltweets I watch in disbelief

[Sall Grover @salltweets]

“What is a woman”

“It is pride month”

That’s a new one.

[deborah ferguson @dmf500]

@NadiaWhittomeMP You’re bonkers if you really think this is a difficult ask - stop inventing problems. This is a issue affecting 0.1% of people - a tiny number. We are used to people who don’t conform to stereotypes - men and women and children. Any problems can be talked about not legislated for

[Sonia Sodha @soniasodha]

Ladies and gentlemen, it’s 2026 and there are MPs who think human beings can’t detect the difference between male and female members of our species with almost-perfect accuracy 🫠

[deborah ferguson @dmf500]

@salltweets Any country is mad to change laws for all of society for such a tiny group of chameleons

[Lesbian Action Group @ActiveLesbians]

Well said, @Glinner. It’s an unbelievable situation we find ourselves in right now & it feels like there’s a long road ahead to unfuck governments, public institutions & the general public to overcome this new breed of homophobia.
