British medical student claims that biology can't answer the question, "what is a woman," because it's a "societal" matter, and claims "TWAW." Yikes. A walking malpractice case.

Any PM needs an exceptionally on it team to unearth things like this. Its called due diligence. It just beggars belief that it is not done πŸ™„ #informationmatters

Different social media posts. Starmer was referring to ones Fattah had made in Egypt that got him jailed there again. The PM seemingly didn’t know about the far worse ones whose unearthing has kicked off the current scandal.

Love it! I buy socks for my adult nephew. He requests them in plain black so he doesn't have to bother about pairing them up πŸ˜‰ #socks #for #Christmas πŸŽ„

Yesterday my son pulled a box of new socks out of his stocking and said β€˜ah, this is great because I’m down to only two matching pairs.’ I had no idea we failed to teach him that socks can be purchased by the prospective wearer themselves.

It is very worrying. Your words are so telling "This is the politics of pressure blocs". Yet it carries on happening in all walks of life in our country, insidiously #appeasement πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

Britain is learning, late and painfully, what happens when a state imports mass immigration without assimilation and then loses the nerve to enforce its own authority. The Birmingham bin strike makes the point. On the surface it's pay and council failure. In truth, it's the rise

The UK is committing economic suicide. Norway: drills for oil and gas... and gets rich - Norway’s sovereign wealth fund: ~$2 trillion - Exports the same oil and gas to the UK UK: taxes the O&G sector heavily (~78%) and bans exploration - The O&G industry is in recession,

Read this and weep. In order to restrict all Civil Service internships from August to working class school leavers, Labour has divided up jobs by class, deciding an Β£80K train driver is working class as is a plumber or electrician and therefore their children can be considered,

This paragraph is very telling: "It's self-dealing. No serious system allows those in power to decide how long they may remain there without consent. Yet this is now presented as a "locally led approach," as though outsourcing democratic suspension makes it virtuous." Its not 😠

Well said Jim πŸ‘. I agree and likewise "refuse to be passengers on your managed decline". I am a Christian and love my country, its as simple as that. My ancestors fought fiercely in wars to maintain its freedom and independence and I will not dishonour their memory πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ #heritage

@theAliceRoberts @theAliceRoberts Let's be clear about something else: what you call "Christian nationalism" is, in Britain, nothing more than ordinary citizens asserting that their own history, faith, and culture should not be erased. That is not extremism. It is survival. You smear fathers,

It saddens me immensely as our great independent nation stumbles because of poor decisions. Is laid out like the sacrificial lamb the EU clearly wants to punish for daring to leave; then to take control back again. Its gradual yet deliberate and for me, totally unacceptable πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

There is a pattern now, and it can't be denied. Britain shrinks abroad, bends at the frontier, and pays to be managed by others. What are sold as separate, sensible decisions amount to a single posture: retreat dressed up as cooperation. Under Keir Starmer, Britain isn't just

Inheritance Tax on family owned businesses is expected to raise about Β£600m a year. That covers about one day of NHS spending. Massive disruption for small businesses - all for a rounding error in revenue. Maybe she could have found Β£600m of spending cuts instead?

I agree. If they can do that on the back of packs of charity Christmas cards, they can put that information on all advertising, etc. Personally I only donate to local charities who will freely give that information about how your donation is spent #charity #donation #spending

I think all charities should have to publicly show on all advertising, banners, & charity collections pots what % of every Β£ given finds its way to the actual reason any of us donate. So we can pick the charities that are the most efficient not those paying CEO’s the most! Not

And lives are being wrecked. Sadly there are more job losses to come after the boost of the Christmas & New Year then the January sales; particularly in retail & hospitality exacerbated by employer NI costs, business rates plus the uplift in the National Minimum Wage in April 🚩

Meaningless since we can’t store any excess to use on days when the wind is weak or close to zero. Get back to me in January when we could be in the middle of a dunkelflaute.
