Daphne Caruana Galizia is back in the news because the former economy minister and PM's chief of staff have been named in court as having ordered her murder.
Reminder: Daphne was a TERF before it was cool.
Her blog is still up, and you can see what she thought of gendershite. Chillingly, one of the two senior government officials who *allegedly* ordered her murder is the last person she wrote about.
Tonight, Channel 4 will broadcast an episode of The Accused: Beyond Reasonable Doubt featuring the case of Stacey Hyde.

I have good news. I'm delighted to share that Judge Campbell refused PCS Union's strike out application rejecting their argument that my indirect discrimination case had no reasonable chance of success. You can read my update here: https://t.co/6tWcRAFZK5

I spent yesterday in Manchester ET watching proceedings in the Young v Manchester case. This is one to follow closely. Here is a little write up of a small exchange in the cross examination.

Disabled person says they’ve taken Scope out of their will.
I used to have @parkrunUK in my will but removed them & pledged the money to @SexMattersOrg & @fairplaywomen instead.
On Saturday evening I got a personal email from the Scope CEO that said:
‘Following reflection, we would like to restore our invitation to the choir to sing at the marathon tomorrow. We do this wholeheartedly and do hope you will be able to attend as per the previous arrangements.’
Had he sent this email after our telephone conversation on Thursday afternoon, it’s likely I’d have accepted.
I may even have chosen not to tell the choir - why upset them unnecessarily over a ‘misunderstanding’ that has been resolved?
But they didn’t. Instead they doubled down - and later tripled down - by publishing multiple damaging public statements about me.
So I did not take up this invitation.
By this point I’d had to tell the choir they had been excluded over MY lawful views. The damage had already been done - to all of us.
So I pulled together a group on Saturday evening - and we found our own spot at Mile 15
As you’ll see from this video people were clearly very ‘distracted’ by my presence 🙄.
Today we're celebrating a win for academic freedom in England. If you're wondering why universities lost sight of such a foundational value in the last ten years, I'd recommend watching this documentary.
It features powerful interviews with @Docstockk and @hoovlet
(And, for the eagle-eyed, footage of the UCL Women's Liberation WPUK 2020 conference protestors. #TheresNoCisInTeam!)

I have written to the Judicial Office for Scotland in relation to errors in the interpretation of evidence in the Sandie Peggie case.
To: Judicial Office for Scotland [email protected]
Dear Sir/Madam,
I write in relation to the Judgment in the case of Peggie vs Fife Health Board and Upton.
While some of these points have already been discussed in the public domain, the judgment suggests a preference for a ‘skilled witness’ regarding research evidence. As a professor of sociology at UCL with many years of experience in the field of social statistics, I trust that I meet the criteria to be considered as a skilled witness.
Paragraph 1047 suggests some confusion on the part of Judge Kemp regarding the following publication: Dhejne, C., Lichtenstein, P., Boman, M., Johansson, A.L., Långström, N. and Landén, M., 2011. Long-term follow-up of transsexual persons undergoing sex reassignment surgery: cohort study in Sweden. PloS one, 6(2), p.e16885.
The judgment notes: ‘The following was stated “Transsexual individuals were at increased risk of being convicted for any crime or violent crime after sex reassignment (Table 2); this, however was only significant in the group who underwent sex reassignment before 1989.” ‘
However, this is sentence is irrelevant to the point at hand. The judge appears to have either misinterpreted the evidence or missed the point.
The paper states ‘regarding any crime, male-to-females had a significantly increased risk for crime compared to female controls (aHR 6.6;95% CI 4.1–10.8) but not compared to males’. In other words, the paper finds that ‘male-to-females’ retained a male pattern of criminal convictions.
The judge’s misinterpretation of Dhjene et al, combined with his dismissal of Ministry of Justice data on the grounds that clicking on hyperlinks would have been required to gain access to the relevant documents, underpinned his conclusion in paragraph 1049 ‘In our view, having read all of the documents, there is very far from sufficient reliable evidence to establish as a fact that a trans woman who is legally and biologically male is a greater risk to any person assigned female at birth within a changing room environment at a workplace than another woman assigned female at birth’.
This conclusion is based in error. In addition, it misunderstands the burden of proof. It is well-established that males are far more likely to commit violent and sexual crime than females. In order to argue that this does not apply to a subset of males, one would need strong positive evidence of this point.
I would add some further evidence. The most recent data from His Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS, 2025) further supports the view that males who identify as transwomen retain a male pattern of offending. Only around 4% of the prison population in England and Wales is female. The transgender prison population in 2025 (0.4% of prisoners) included over four times as many biological males (276) as females (63). If transwomen were counted as women, they would constitute 7.3% of women prisoners.
I hope this is helpful.
Yours faithfully,
Professor Alice Sullivan, UCL
Trans reddit and BleakSky have found this case & are claiming he took his life because they wouldn't move him to the female estate. Actually, Riley wanted to remain in Perth Prison & refused to go to CV or Polmont. He took his life after being kept in isolation while they tried to persuade him! Naturally, no one has read the details, so the lies are being lapped up.
