You might find it difficult to do two things at once, Paul, but I find it remarkably easy to enjoy the millions I've made while continuing to care about women's rights.

Grateful to Times columnist Giles Coren for putting to the sword a local council pipsqueak for trying to put out of business a restaurant in the middle of nowhere where owner Ruth Hanson does all the kitchen prep herself, the washing up, the bookings, the till, payroll and then cooks it.
The restaurant is called Hansom in Bedale, North Yorkshire. To give you an idea of its remoteness it’s 7 miles from Northallerton and 31 miles from York.
So, on occasions, her husband Mark, who had a job of his own, gives up his evenings to chauffeur some guests to and from their homes.
Coren points out when he reviewed the place last year ( he gave it a glowing recommendation) he had to hitchhike from Northallerton station.
No Bedale train, no metro, no Uber hanging around at the corner.
Enter Chris Doyle, licensing enforcement officer for N Yorkshire council, who has written to Ruth saying in his view Mark was operating a taxi service and that would require a raft of expensive and time consuming licences.
Ruth responded that Mark was her husband, he was unpaid and there was no separate charge for the journey.
Doyle said he didn’t care as there was deemed to be a commercial benefit and warned without a licence the council may take legal action.
Coren has a great last paragraph; “ Yeah, you sue her, you absolute local heroes.
“ You teach Ruth and Mark a lesson for being great at their jobs, for treasuring their customers, for trying to create a little joy and make ends meet in a collapsing world.”
PS Thought you’d like to see what a Ruth menus looks like. This is called the Sunday Sharing Feast.

With publicity thanks to Coren’s column and this tweet I suspect the queue will be out the door and Mark can have his evenings off again.

My choir - which specialises in singing at charity running events - has been dropped from Sunday's London Marathon.

Because I don't believe people can change sex - and said so publicly.

We were dropped by the disability charity Scope - who we've supported for the past two years - on the basis of two anonymous complaints. About MY gender critical beliefs.

So not only am I being discriminated against due to my lawfully held views - so are other people.

After months of preparation ... disappointed is not the word.

Suffice to say, if there are any organisations out there who are happy to welcome volunteers with lawfully held beliefs on sex and gender, we'd love to be your 'cheer squad' at Sunday's London Marathon.

Our running themed 'set list' is always a hit with runners and we bring fun, enthusiasm and props in spades (hence the 'Eye Of The Tiger' mask).

We'd love to help support runners raise money for good causes at this year's London Marathon - as we have done in previous years.

Keith is a three-year-old Anglo-Nubian goat in a field in Devon.

Keith has opened 7 gates, occupied a barn roof for 11 consecutive days, cleared an entire knotweed stand worth £4,000 to remove chemically, eaten Steve's bindweed, been in the churchyard twice, been in the road an estimated 14 times, eaten the water heater instructions, been in Dave's kitchen (standing there, not eating anything, just standing), and filed the structural details of every fence on the farm into a memory that has never once been cleared.

He has done all of this while also being the single most cost-effective conservation intervention on the property.

These are not separate facts. They are the same fact.

Keith does not distinguish between the work and the escape. The escape is work. The work is escape. The fence is a project. The project is completed. The project leads to the next project. The knotweed leads to the churchyard. The churchyard leads to the road. The road leads back to the east ditch. The east ditch was cleared in one season.

There is a man named Steve who has filed twenty-nine formal complaints about Keith.

Steve's bindweed is gone.

Steve does not yet understand that these are the same story.

Dave has £387 in gate receipts, a positive net outcome column on every row since entry seventeen, a churchyard booking for next month, and a corner post with a 4mm flex that Keith has known about since Margot's visit and has not yet acted on.

Not yet.

Keith is not done.

Keith is never done.

Keith is ten thousand years of Zagros Mountain goat compressed into a Devon field, and the fence between him and the rest of the world has always been a negotiating position rather than a boundary.

Be ungovernable. Do the work. Leave the field better than you found it.

The knotweed is at 6%.

Keith is thinking.

Dear Pope Leo,

Instead of visiting mosques and meeting Islamic leaders in countries like Algeria…

Go to Nigeria.

Go see the millions of Christians being massacred by violent Islamists. Pray with them. Show solidarity with them. Care for them.

Sincerely,
Christians everywhere

[Royal Osteoporosis Society @RoyalOsteoSoc]

Ministers have promised early diagnosis clinics for osteoporosis more than 60 times. Two years on, there’s still no plan. Meanwhile, 2,000 people die each year from injuries these clinics prevent. Patients can’t wait any longer.

🚨 Having spent 30 years as a mental health nurse, I have faced many vile situations. While resilient. However, participating in the @RupertLowe10 inquiry has been emotionally overwhelming for me. I have never felt so distressed; the accounts haunt me and have caused disturbing nightmares. The suffering described is truly heartbreaking. It is crucial that grooming stops immediately, and I urge the government to act on this disgusting behaviour now or you're complicit.

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

Earlier this week in our inquiry, I sat across from a woman who was raped and abused by ‘hundreds and hundreds and hundreds’ of men. All Muslims. Mostly Pakistani, some Kurdish, some Indian.

She was transported all over Britain, like a piece of meat.

When she was 12, she was raped. Not only raped, a glass bottle was forced inside her. It shattered in her body.

A 12 year old. For a moment, think about a 12 year old close to you.

She went to hospital. No questions were asked. She told the police. Their response? ‘Nothing I can do about that.’ They asked if the rapes were consenting sex. She didn’t even know what consent meant. Please just think about that.

So many knew, and did nothing. How? How can such evil be tolerated? How?

The woman is furious. Furious that in 2026 we’re still having this conversation, still trying to get people to talk about it.

We are trying to change that.

The way she conducted herself in our hearing was remarkable, such grace and courage.

She has rebuilt her life - simply incredible bravery and resilience.

Why did she want to tell her story at the inquiry? She said if she can save one soul from going through the same fate, then she’s ‘done her job’.

‘Just one’ child she told the inquiry.

She has certainly done that.

@bindelj Call me wildly idealistic, but I like to think we'll one day have a PM who gives a shit about protecting the rights and safety of girls and women.

THIS VIDEO WILL LEAVE YOU SPEECHLESS. 11 & 12 YEAR OLD LITTLE GIRLS FOUND NAKED, DRUNK AND DRUGGED IN A PLACE WITH ADULT MUSLIM MALES AND THE POLICE ARRIVED AND ARRESTED THE LITTLE GIRLS FOR BEING DRUNK!!!

LISTEN TO THIS SENIOR OFFICERS PATHETIC RESPONSE

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

I have just sat in a room all week listening to women describe how they were brutally raped by gangs of Pakistani Muslims, and how the authorities did nothing for fear of being labelled 'racist'.

So please let me be abundantly clear here, @maitlis.

You are full of shit.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

I would like to help fund legal actions against corrupt officials who aided and abetted the rape of Britain, per the official government inquiry.

Please reply below for consideration.

Dear Donald Trump,
Sergeant Joshua Mark Leakey was awarded The Victoria Cross when aged 25, he ran under machine gun fire and rocket propelled grenades to rescue his injured comrade, a US Marine.

Not the "front line"?

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

To be completely honest, I am becoming increasingly pissed off with the aggressive gangs of foreign men who are plaguing the streets of our towns and cities.

We can all see it. They don’t speak English, they don’t work, they certainly don’t respect us.

I get dozens of messages every single day from women who hate it. They feel uncomfortable, harassed, intimidated. But we’re all supposed to think it’s normal?!

It didn’t used to be like this. Five, ten years ago.

And it doesn’t have to be like this. It isn’t normal, and we shouldn’t accept it as so.

Women should be able to go for a night out with their friends without the fear of foreign sex pests and weirdos assaulting them.

Of course there are sordid and abusive British men, but sadly we can’t deport them.

We can remove the foreign ones. I thoroughly believe we should do so.
