My darling boy, Jack Merritt. My best friend, Jack Merritt. My heart is hurting and I can barely breathe.

To have coverage on your loved one’s murder be politicised against your own ethics, morals & values takes from you the person you knew & the way you need them to be remembered. It turns them into a political football rather than a human being without a voice.

[Hollie 🌻 @holjenn]

Knowing how to understand something gives you back some sense of control when everything around you feels totally and utterly out of your control.

To have people suggest you’ve got it wrong is harmful. To have politicians sew narratives against that understanding is traumatic.

lIf you do anything today, watch @MaeveHalligan at the Cambridge Union. I genuinely think this was the first time many people in that room were confronted with the hard reality of the trans debate, rather than the slogans that usually surround it.

@BuckAngel was exceptional: calm, articulate, humane. Ultimate respect.

And then there was Helen Webberley. I remember once thinking the criticism directed at her by GC women was excessive, especially the claim she was ‘pure evil’. After hearing her speak, I no longer think that. She is totally insincere. I can deal with hard ideologues- they believe they are telling the truth; they are genuine, @HelenWebberley is different.

One audience member, a trans-identified male and former patient of hers, stood to speak during points of information. His account of how he had been treated was deeply disturbing.

Watch the full debate. It is worth your time.

I wrote, for @unherd, about Believe Me, the drama series on ITV about the serial rapist John Worboys, the catastrophic police failures, and the incredible courage and tenacity of those survivors (assisted by @HWistrich) to hold them to account:

This, all day long.
I’m watching Believe Me right now the ITV drama about John Worboys and the women he raped. It starts exactly where you describe: women not being believed, treated with suspicion, their accounts dismissed etc. Police laughed at these women, failed and let him keep going for years. It’s utterly terrifying.

Women know from lived experience why single-sex protections and taking female victims seriously matter. When women who’ve benefited from those hard-won rights use their platforms to say others no longer need them, it really is egregious hypocrisy.
Thank you for saying it plainly.

The BBC commentary of York’s INCREDIBLE 105th-minute title clinching goal at Rochdale…goosebumps 🤯

[Not The Top 20 Pod @NTT20Pod]

Kell Watts just thighed it back to the keeper.

The Bromley fans appealed for a pass back.

This has happened a dozen times this season and is truly 25/26 heritage I’ll tell my grandkids about.

[Cambridge United FC @CambridgeUtdFC]

STATEMENT WIN! 👊

i find it extremely fcked up when you have to ask men “what if she was your sister, daughter or mother” in order to make them see women as valuable human beings

[barney @barneyxbt]

onlyfans is one of the worst things to happen to modern society and i don’t care how unpopular that take is

they built a platform that incentivized young women to sell themselves by dangling life changing money in front of them.

and every girl who made it big became a walking billboard for the next wave of 18 year olds who thought it was their ticket to freedom

it’s not empowerment it’s exploitation with a marketing budget.

the damage this has done to an entire generation of women and the way young men view relationships is something we won’t fully understand for another decade
and the owner sitting back collecting 20% of every single transaction isn’t a genius businessman.

he built a machine that profits off the commodification of women at scale.

that’s not innovation that’s a pimp with a payment processor

if you believe in the afterlife that man has a very uncomfortable conversation coming.

but sure keep putting him on magazine covers and calling him an entrepreneur

have a good day

BBC reporting that Andrew Mountbatten Windsor has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

There is no precedent for a senior member of the royal family being placed under arrest in modern British history. A seismic moment for the monarchy.
