The EHRC meets with organisations hostile to trans people and our rights. But would it meet with people opposed to homosexuality, race-realists, or organisations wanting to remove women’s bodily autonomy? If not, why are trans people the exception? These are the questions we have asked the EHRC!

I've seen too many hope-posts about Labour going all-in rejoin EU, how it'll make everyone love them etc. But I cannot support - let alone vote for - a govt that actively denies existence to the people I know and love. It needs to be addressed, and can't be hand-waved away by policies elsewhere.

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

Can't even set up a court in exile and plot to seize the throne anymore, because of woke

Give us a day off like when the arseholes get married.

It was Mandelson wasn’t it.

Why can't they all just fuck off back to Saxony and leave the place to us Welsh?

and the signalling staff , in under 4 minutes they had to reroute the train and make sure that didnt lead to it hitting another train that was scheduled to be on that line.

I mean…. and the home invasion assasination of the leader of the opposition party in a divided state house, by a christian nationalist goon, whose actions the right is trying to gaslight at massive scale.

Here's a pitch for what the National Data Library should actually be - a guest post by @iosad.fyi ! (FREE TO READ!) takes.jamesomalley.co.uk/p/tbi-ndl

And to accompany the publication of our NDL paper, something of a bucket list item for me with a guest post for @jamesomalley.co.uk. You also have the opportunity to ask burning questions/hurl questionable fruit at me tonight at our long-planned in-conversation about AI in govt – info in the post.

New parenting level unlocked: helping eldest’s German homework thanks to Rammstein’s lyrics and other 70s German prog. “No, I’m afraid that one is DU HAST”

🚨NEW & EXCLUSIVE Using our country's Freedom of Information laws for their intended purpose, I have uncovered the 50 names Network Rail shortlisted for their leaf-busting train before putting it to a public vote🧵

Will many of those prisoners released early reoffend? Yes. Guaranteed. Would they have reoffended if they’d served their full sentences? Yes. Guaranteed. The problem isn’t early release, it is a prison system that fails utterly to rehabilitate people’s lives.

It's 2028. The entire general election campaign consists of everyone calling everyone else "WEIRD!" except Ed Davey, who skydives into a tub of baked beans while dressed as Mr Blobby and nobody calls it weird

Loving the sheer front from Pete Best to pretend that excluding Ringo is only about historical accuracy, no pettiness whatsoever (but you can rent a room named after their bass player at the time!). www.theguardian.com/music/articl...

I desperately wish that the Mail ghostwriter story was better known. Being able to introduce myself as 'the UK's second most prolific black writer after Leo McKinistry' and/or lightly dismiss another black British writer as 'the person you call when Leo McKinistry is busy' are great bits.

Poor Ruby, not one of the great Labrador intellectuals at the best of times, and currently utterly defeated by these grates.

Ruby is on holiday

Being this stupid really should be an aggravating factor - if it weren’t so funny www.northamptonchron.co.uk/news/crime/n...

Ruby is indignant about the idea of waiting for treats.
