The sass of the person writing the minute by minute on England v Scotland is to be admired

Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement. Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph Because this does NOT add up! No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies… 🧵1/9

Systematic peer-reviewed assessment showing the fundamental flaws of the Cass Review. Many in politics and beyond have used the Cass report to justify the erosion of gender-affirming care. This study is a litmus test for those who claim to "follow the science" on the topic.

Reflecting on Starmer’s comments on the CS yday and on the response it’s got in Whitehall since. If there’s any piece of advice I’d give Starmer - and at this fragile juncture I want to shout it from the rooftops - it would be: ‘Blame the system, not the people’. 🧵

I'm going to do some coverage on here of the assisted dying debate. If you're not interested please mute this thread now. It'll probably go on a while.

Update from the right-wing press: disruptive protests are good now. But rest assured that as soon as the landowners are finished, they will be bad again.

You can be a guy that claims WiFi causes brain cancer and vaccines cause autism and this is how you'll get covered by mainstream press
