Yesterday I spent over five hours in Southampton General Hospital with my very poorly 17 month old grandson. All the staff and care was exemplary. Please never let Farage and Reform get their grubby greedy hands on our NHS.
"Sir Stephen Fry, the renowned psychoanalyst, says he believes that JK Rowling 'has been radicalised'.
"[If] Ms Rowling has indeed been radicalised, that means she harbours beliefs that are 'radical'.
"[Would] Sir Stephen be so kind as to tell us which of her beliefs he has in mind?
"Take, for example, Ms Rowling’s belief that women don’t have testicles. Or her belief that men can’t give birth. Is either of those beliefs radical? Extreme? Wildly at variance with established medical science?
"Or her belief that confused children should not be pumped with drugs designed to prevent them from going through a normal, healthy puberty.
"Or her belief that we should not grant a convicted rapist his wish to be placed in a jail full of women merely because he’s suddenly taken to sporting a blonde wig and pink leggings.
"Does Sir Stephen consider those beliefs to be radical? I do hope he’ll let us know. It’s urgent. Otherwise, there’s a serious risk that innocent members of the public will become radicalised, too."

MPs are so keen on means testing I suggest we means test MPs salaries. The salary could be reduced for any second income or freebies and a capital limit ruling them out of any salary if above the threshold. That way we only support the MPs who genuinely need it.
@DrCalumMiller Many of us, for one reason or another, have spent part of our lives in fear of being killed. Are we now to spend our old age with that same old fear coming back to haunt us?
@jhallwood Ffs there are many of us who have been attacked in the past through no fault of our own and subsequently don’t like dogs near us. Have some respect for others’ point of view.
@LeftismKills@wolfofx Just bear in mind each twin baby is distressed at seeing the other stealing his or her beloved Mum. Twice as much love and affection for each is a start.
@fiveam@alexarmstrong I guess you use a knife and fork to eat a sandwich? Or maybe a spoon? Ffs let people eat what they like how they like, I bet no one dares tell you what and how to eat!
“The way to control people is to frighten them, and to divide them. Divide them by race, by religion, by nationality, by class. And if you can set them against one another, you can control them.”

Thanks, Sunday Times, for the tedious parade of wealth in your rich list. Now do a feature listing the poorest people in Britain, and why they're getting poorer.
Labour keep on saying: “our reforms will mean the social security system will always be there for those who will never be able to work, and that their income is protected”. Let’s be clear: this is a lie. No one, I repeat no one, who is a specialist in this area believes this.
