RIP John Edward William d’Ancona CB (May 28, 1935-June 24, 2019). Beloved husband, father, grandfather, public servant, footballer, and patriot. He played for Newcastle and rose to the heights of Whitehall. But love of family came first. There was nobody like you, Dad. Thank you.

Absolutely right that Nigel Farage's schoolboy antisemitism is being called out. But what about Primal Scream's antisemitic symbolism this week? And no - it isn't "anti-Zionist". Linking the swastika to the Star of David is one of the worst antisemitic tropes

While it's understandable @wesstreeting has found himself in this position, I think there are *many* reasons why this trial is unethical. I'm surprised it got signed off on ethical grounds. And as tricky as he might feel it is, I do think he needs to intervene.

The law should be fair & seen to be fair. Claimants put their life on hold & spend on lawyers to get justice. It is utterly disrespectful of Kemp to produce a judgment which does not meet basic standards. Making up quotes and then quietly changing them is not acceptable.

I am wondering how many Certificates of Correction Judge Kemp is planning on adding to the Sandie Peggie judgment? Perhaps in the next one he could correct the title of my case. It is CGD Europe.

Dress however you please. Call yourself whatever you like. Sleep with any consenting adult who’ll have you. Live your best life in peace and security. But force women out of their jobs for stating that sex is real? #IStandWithMaya #ThisIsNotADrill

Judge Sandy Kemp and the Judicial Office need to explain exactly how this bogus quote made its way into the ruling. Misrepresentations of the Forstater ruling are commonplace in the trans activist community, but for this to turn up in an actual court ruling is truly shocking.
One of the many things wrong with the Sandie Peggie judgment. This "quote" from my judgment doesn't come from my judgment. It is completely made up. 🤯

I’m surprised. I was pretty sure she’d discover he was killed by Brigitte Macron.
Candace Owens now claims she has proof that the U.S. military played a role in Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Owens says she received an email from “a man in the military,” which she claims arrived last night. “It feels like today will be the day that the government can no

One must assume, from reading this judgment, that the tribunal was more concerned with discouraging further litigation than with giving full and fearless effect to the Equality Act. At the heart of this case lies a straightforward question: does a biologically male employee have
The judgment in Sandie Peggie vs NHS Fife and Dr Upton has been published. We are pleased that Sandie Peggie has won her claim of harassment against NHS Fife, and that the hospital trust was criticised for its terrible handling of the complaint against her.

There are some extraordinary things in the Sandie Peggie judgment that ignore reality and women's rights and will surely not stand up to appeal. https://t.co/6gjAlPlTtT

The more I see this,the angrier it makes me. Men like John constantly praise Angie Rayner as a working class woman who overcame that to enter Parliament. Well, she's not the only one. Until June 2017, I brought up my boys as a hard-up p/t TA. I will defend women's spaces forever.
This is truly shocking. How is this to be enforced? Is the Labour Party bureaucracy seriously suggesting that checks will be made on entrances to the conference hall on whether a person is trans? Are we going to see trans women being dragged from the hall?

In these battles with the judiciary, Trump has postured as the defender of urban order against the liberal elite and its supposed indifference to imported savagery ✏️ @MatthewdAncona

Martial law is on the way in the US - because violence and civil strife, real or imagined, are the dark core of Donald Trump’s aggressively authoritarian governing ethos
