The Secretary of State responsible for the media has quit X — along with her department — because of what she says is the spread of misinformation, dubbing the platform a danger to democracy.
Despite professing to be a champion of free speech, Lisa Nandy also turned off comments on her post.
Lisa Nandy has served as Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport in the most authoritarian government in modern British history.
If she truly believes in free speech, was she not concerned that around 30 people a day are arrested for allegedly ���offensive” social media posts? Why was she in the House of Commons only last week spearheading government plans to dictate what content citizens see online?
And if Lisa Nandy cares so deeply about democracy, why was she so quiet when the Government sought to cancel a significant proportion of this year’s local elections?
Most concerning of all, Lisa Nandy — a close ally of our next Prime Minister, Andy Burnham — would, if she remains in post, likely be the minister charged with leading the Government’s campaign against Britain’s free press, acting on the wishes of Burnham and Hugh Grant.
Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch has said: “DCMS is supposed to counter and deal with misinformation, not run away because it’s all too much.”

@datadriven_tdoc@eddiegoerge2019 Real girls who happen to be genetically gifted (officially , no drugs etc) remain real girls and belong
Men who claim to be women are not the same as women who have a genetic mutation
You utter spastic
I don't think people realize how bad the rules have been for girls in California, even if you know about how much boys have been stealing from girls there.
California bases participation on "gender identity" which is declared through self-ID.
This means that if John wants to join the girls' team, he doesn't have to do anything other than say that he wants to. No change of ID required, no hormone use, no psychologists' note. Nothing.
But it's even worse, because boys have also been allowed to do this at ANY time.
For example, several years ago, a boy on the boys' badminton team at Palo Alto decided he wanted to switch to the girls' mid season, right before sectionals, and HE WAS ALLOWED TO, taking the place of a girl who had already been playing on the varsity team all year. She was suddenly booted out. He was in.
This means if a boy knows he isn't going to qualify in track and field, he could run with the boys all season but switch to the girls' team right before the conference meet.
But of course, California respects all athletes, right?
@PompeySteph@DalgetySusan men can clean women's toilets but they always have a sign announcing their presence & the toilet is often temporarily closed when they are cleaning. These cleaners are not using the toilets in the way that trans-identified males like u seek to do
It's a complete analogy fail 🤡

You mean men, men who claim to be women. You are a national broadcaster that consistently obfuscates facts around sex because you’ve taken an ideological position the public overwhelmingly rejects. This isn’t news, it’s propaganda.
What could the "trans" person possibly say to them?
Judge: "Why should we upend fairness and equality for female athletes and destroy the intent of Title IX just for you?"
Trans person: "Because it would make me really, really happy and losing against boys makes me sad."
How, exactly, do you think that's going to change things?
