The annual ritual of reviving and then cancelling the Chagos Deal under a new Prime Minister whenever the Americans object to it was originally a pagan festival, actually

Leader of the Scottish Lib Dems tells an interviewer the party has "separate legal advice" about EHRC guidance.
Turns out this actually means party activists have offered him their views.
The brazen dishonesty on display here really is quite something.

[Scott Wortley @Scott_Wortley]

Still can't get over a party leader in essence pretending to have seen independent legal advice when he was actually speaking to activists. The mendacity is shameful. I can't imagine any former leader of the Scottish lib dems acting like this.

Over 50 years ago, we rescued the church of St Mary's, Mundon from dereliction, saving this curious medieval structures and its beautiful array wall paintings for future generations.

I’m not legally allowed to say why I left my Lib Dem job.

And I’m not legally allowed to say why I’m not legally allowed to say why I left my Lib Dem job.

But I can say that it wasn’t me that was doing cocaine at conference & Westminster events, then bullying junior staff.🍾

@Tesco @Spencer83809805 Hmm

This man, who groomed and raped a girl, worked in @Tesco in East Bristol and attended Bristol Pride with the Tesco Pride group. @BristolCouncil have been working since 2022 to encourage this man to use women and girls' changing rooms and toilets. Thinking of his brave victim.

In Canada you cannot suggest that someone take their own life, even as a joke. This is considered practicing medicine without a license.

There are astronauts on the International Space Station who can see he's male before he's even opened his mouth...

1. Never happens.
2. If it happens, the paedophile isn't trans.
3. The real crime here is the deadnaming.
4. TERFs love it when this stuff happens.
5. OMG why do you even care?

[Sonia Sodha @soniasodha]

Spot on. This is an area where brave women have been working on a cross-party basis, sometimes in the face of real nastiness and misogyny from within their own parties. It’s great to see such a senior female politician acknowledge that bravery across party lines.

@SarahPears5915 @VicktoriaSponge @KemiBadenoch @CrunchAlias Oh, we've heard, we've heard of little else for a decade.
You're a bloke.

Zoe Hollowood is incredibly brave to challenge her party in this way. I know what it’s like to state biological sex is real and be attacked for speaking common sense and telling the truth. She is not on my side of the political spectrum, but courage calls to courage everywhere.

Zoe should be supported in trying to get the Lib Dems to stop being silly, follow the law and respect the supreme court judgement.

[Jon Pike @runthinkwrite]

Three things to highlight from this terrific speech:

1) the sheer guts it took to make it.
2) the use of 'male' - the defensible, accurate term to use of 'Rose'
3) the gym example: men need to get used to gnc males in male spaces.

@hollowood_zoe is mightily impressive.

Wow just look at all the women at the office of equality & opportunity 🤪

[Long Off @LongOff5]

Yep, that's what we need - more misogynistic, homophobic, moronic, beardy blokes.

Youth housing in Australia is unisex. Girls are groomed and exploited to the point that they believe the streets and prostitution are safer.
Monique and the other Teals are against single sex housing for vulnerable girls, which would prevent a lot of the sexual harrassment, sexual assault and grooming girls in state care endure.

Not only is @jk_rowling genociding Vancouver’s genderwang community with her donuts, but the donuts are “not fucking easy to make”

So two genocides

[For Women Scotland @ForWomenScot]

A sane party would have @hollowood_zoe as an MP instead of pandering to the incels and misogynists determined to trash human rights.
