Crazy discussion in the House of Lords around women’s sport. @Baronessjenkin highlighted a UN study published in August calculated: "By March this year over 600 female athletes in more than 400 events were defeated by trans-identifying males who took a total of 890 medals."
🚨HAPPENING NOW🚨
The International Boxing Association is holding a press conference in Paris to address the issues surrounding Algerian boxer Imane Khelif and Taiwanese boxer Lin Yu-Ting.
Dr. Ioannis Filippatos, the former Chair of IBA Medical Committee and an OB/GYN with three decades of experience, has spoken.
He has confirmed that neither Lin nor Khelif are biological females, and has slammed the IOC for using passports as a system for determining gender.
"Medicine is knowledge, it is not opinion ... One passport can give to us the opportunity to be men, and, tomorrow when I go back to Athens, I can go to my government and change my name from Ioannis to Ionnia. That means I am a woman tomorrow? Please. The nature and the biological world do not change."
Out on the FLOOD earlier today after a sunny clear day. @thameswater care to comment? I tell you what, get a bot in the comments and I’ll give you what three words. @LBCNews@LibDems#thames#sewage
"Thames swimming race cancelled over sewage fears."
It's been going since 1890 and now it's cancelled.
I'm being serious. Do the boards of @Ofwat and the @EnvAgency have absolutely no self-awareness at all?
It's time for change. It's time to go.

River conditions on the Tideway the worst I have seen in over 20yrs. Consist raw sewage every day now.
Boats covered in sewage after training.
Videos are just a small glimpse. Dead wildlife & human sickness incoming. @thameswater@BritishRowing@SteveBackshall@BBCLondonNews
@vetfourshead@richardphelpsie Completely understand that. Just wondering why red flag surge levels are currently reduced by PLA? It’s currently at previous yellow status. Do the PLA need to communicate their updated river status levels or is this something already agreed?
