The sychophanic sympathy trumpeting that so many political broadcasters are giving Keir Starmer right now is so cringeworthy. He deserves absolutely no sympathy whatsoever.

[James Melville 🚜 @JamesMelville]

Even Keir Starmer’s resignation speech was self aggrandising delusion. It would be refreshing if yet another failed Prime Minister actually showed some humility and blamed themselves rather than pompous boasting on their ‘integrity’ and ‘achievements’.

The Labour government are peddling a framed narrative that the ban on under 16s using social media is for “child safety”. Yet even Save the Children fundamentally disagree with this. ⬇️

This convicted stalker grabbed her hair, almost sat on her and absolutely terrified her before he "asked for a kiss".

The BBC headline frames this assault like a charmingly polite request in a mutual courtship. It's a strange mistake to make.

Good to see coverage of the issues caused by predatory men who become mass sperm donors.

This is a major problem; women coerced, children left with anonymous donors: another ticking time bomb developing.

And in the blink of an eye, the government have gone from “we need to reduce the carbon footprint to save the planet" to "we will build mega AI data centres that massively deplete energy and water supplies”.

Pleaded guilty 2yrs after being charged yet entitled to up to 25% off sentence

He’ll be out as part of pre release testing 3yrs before tariff ends

Victims family will not be updated unless they sign up to victims info scheme

I’ll be challenging all these in the Sentencing Bill

This extremely disturbed woman is planning to use the baby she's carrying for porn for the sick, degenerate men willing to take part or pay to watch.

Social services need to be ready to step in immediately when that poor child is born.

[Shambo of Luxembourg @BradfemlyWalsh]

With a horrible sinking feeling, I've just realised that there'll now be men who pressure or force their pregnant partners to endure golden showers because of this. Slowly, like strangling, it could become normalised. Because you can never underestimate the depravity of many men

The Labour government promised to solve the cost of living crisis. Another lie. They have made the cost of living crisis even worse through their petty, vindictive and growth stunting taxes.

[StopSurrogacyNowUK @WombsNotForRent]

We agree with commissioning parent & comedian Rikki Lindhome, #surrogacy isn’t a ‘journey’ and the disingenuous, frivolous language needs to end.

But you know who it wasn’t fun for? The woman who was pregnant and gave birth. She is invisible in her absence. @BBCWomensHour.

[Sonia Sodha @soniasodha]

And I remain of the view that it is deeply, deeply unethical to create a baby with the express intention of removing it from its birth mother.

You’ve had 2 years to build a stronger and fairer Britain. But instead, you punished the disabled, students, pensioners, pub owners, farmers, WASPI women, small businesses. You took a wrecking ball to the economy. You hired Mandelson. No one is buying this claptrap anymore.

[Reem Alsalem UNSR Violence Against Women and Girls @UNSRVAW]

But it is you who gets labelled as conservative at best and regressive at worst for saying #surrogacy should be abolished!
The signs of our time!

[Lord Moylan @danielmgmoylan]

It’s very sad to see some of my colleagues complaining that the failure of the assisted suicide Bill casts the @UKHouseofLords in a bad light.

It’s pure distraction from the failure of a bad Bill that is rejected by every single medical Royal College.

[Prof Katherine Sleeman @kesleeman]

In the last available accounts (2023) Dignity in Dying spent over £100,000 average every month on campaigning to achieve Assisted Dying legislation! And that was 2023…

I feel so sorry for any elderly person who struggles with online admin / isn’t online and doesn’t have a support network to help with online admin. Almost everything is online or automated now. And for those who aren’t online (in particular the elderly), they are marginalised.

Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

MSPs have rejected the chance to make Scotland the first part of the UK to legalise assisted dying.

The right decision.

“What CEDAW did in its February 2026 Netherlands report was by no means a minor editorial misstep, this was an institutional failure of the first order. This failure has consequences in the real world, because language shapes law, and law shapes who is prosecuted, who is protected, and who is abandoned.” ✍🏼@MatteaMerta
