@CommonsWEC @kimleadbeater @NadiaWhittomeMP Maybe you could start by asking @NadiaWhittomeMP what a woman is. If she cannot answer both biologically and legally accurately, she should not be on the committee.

@CommonsWEC @kimleadbeater @NadiaWhittomeMP But surely to be a member of a women's committee you must be able to define legally what a woman is? More elite women, more concerned about pleasing men than protecting women.

@CommonsWEC @kimleadbeater @NadiaWhittomeMP You have a transactivist who denies women their legal & political identity as a sex class; a woman who has no idea what coercion means for older people or the disabled; and a beardy bro, also a TRA. You don’t speak for anyone but your privileged class.

@CommonsWEC @kimleadbeater @NadiaWhittomeMP Perfect. Three people who don't know what a woman is to sit on a committee specifically about women, while one of them thinks that understanding basic biology means you should be 're-educated'

Just listened to the whole of Prime Minister's Questions. The death of Prunella Scales was mentioned. As was a fatal stabbing in Lewisham. The slaughter of Wayne Broadhurst, allegedly by an Afghan national who was granted asylum, wasn't mentioned at all. Says it all. #PMQs

@DrRebeccaTidy @JournalistJill @GoodLawProject I think someone at @YouGov missed stats 101 too. 74% of the unweighted sample were merely 'non-binary' (whatever that means), had a DSD, or were asexual / pansexual / demigender or whatever 'Other' means. Why would any e.g. asexual person be living in "abject terror"?

@euanmccolm It’s kinda cute that Police Scotland looked at a woman who took her own government to the highest court in the land and won, & thought … “Let’s threaten her with a warning for doing something there’s video evidence of her not doing. She seems the sort to buckle easily”

“A 5,000 year-old skeleton is believed to be a transgender person.” How does that work exactly? 🤔 Please do explain, as I’d be FASCINATED to know how one discerns that by examining bones…
@DreyfusJames Transgender and gender-diverse people have existed for millennia. A 5,000-year-old skeleton is believed to be a transgender person. The populations we identify as 'white' today did not exist around 5,000 years ago. Trans were here first dorks. Grow up snowflakes.

Interviewing Carole-Anne was an eye opener. This is the side of surrogacy that never makes the glossy magazines or reality shows. Surrogacy scandal: I helped a ‘desperate’ couple have a child, but they sold my baby to someone else

After giving birth, Carole-Anne discovered she’d been duped in a scam spanning America and the UK

We are calling on the govt to do 3 things urgently: 1⃣ACT to revoke the old code of practice & lay the new one before Parliament 2⃣COMMIT to fixing the problem of inaccurate sex data 3⃣TELL the civil service to follow the law across the govt own operations. WRITE TO YOUR MP!
Many organisations are still refusing to be clear about single-sex spaces. There are still men in women’s prisons and services, and playing in some women’s sports. This is neither right nor fair. Government needs to act.

@fraserihudghton @LucyHunterB @PoliceScotland @ForWomenScot While they’re at it, @PoliceScotland should also detail what they’re going to do to stop this serial abuser of women from pulling the same stunt at the protest this Saturday.

It is absolutely shocking and appalling that Susan Smith from @ForWomenScot could face vandalism charges. What kind of message is this sending to women fighting to protect their rights? That is why I have written to the Chief Constable asking for clarity on how Police Scotland

Possible behind the scenes convo at @PoliceScotland: ‘Sh*t lads, she’s not given in and not accepted the warning! Why did we take that bloke on his word and not check the video first? We look like clueless captured idiots. Retreat, retreat!’ https://t.co/YL2aWCu5hT

Police Scotland has backtracked on plans to warn a women’s rights campaigner accused of damaging an umbrella during a Holyrood protest.

After the @ForWomenScot rally at Holyrood in September, someone (@LucyHunterB?) collected information from people whose hearing or mental state had been adversely affected by the loud noise produced by Cabaret Against Hate. On Saturday, the noise is going to be knowingly harmful

This is what actually happened at the rally. Gethin is an award winning reporter who has worked in some of the world’s most challenging places, and Scotland. He reports the truth.
@bindelj The police let him sit there, blasting out a wall of sound, protected by his own police bodyguard. Challenged, he set police on Susan and they obliged. Police were told that the umbrella was clearly broken before she touched the opposite side of it. This is rampant misogyny.

It’s the little shrug about “casualties” that gets me. The same shrug MPs gave when they voted it through.
🚨THEY’RE NOT DENYING IT - “THERE WILL BE CASUALTIES!” When asked about “wrongful deaths”, pro-assisted suicide doctor admits to Peers that there would be “mistakes” & “casualties” if assisted suicide is permitted. This Bill is utilitarianism of the worst kind!

So let's rewind to 4 September 2025. One hour before the start of the FWS demo, I approached 2 police officers on duty and attempted a conversation.. I provided a brief history lesson on the carnage that @PoliceScotland allowed at ALL previous women's rallies - mainly their
