The Office of the United Nations’ High Commissioner for Refugees has criticised the UK Government for granting asylum to migrants ‘who aren't entitled to it’. It found that Home Office interviews put ‘speed over quality’ & fail to ‘probe material facts’. thetimes.com/uk/politics/art…

We currently pay £1.5 billion a year to switch wind farms off when it's too windy. Rachel Fletcher from Octopus Energy has just told Parliament that could soar to £10 BILLION by 2030. Ed Miliband is writing cheques for wind farm developers before the grid can move their energy to where it's needed. This is a political choice and it is making electricity expensive.

1. 🚨BREAKING: County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust has paid £187,000 in damages, apologised, and committed to separate changing facilities for male and female staff following the Darlington nurses’ legal case. In January, the Employment Tribunal had found the nurses suffered harassment and indirect sex discrimination over workplace changing-room arrangement. The case, brought by seven nurses at Darlington Memorial Hospital, Bethany Hutchison, Lisa Lockey, Karen Danson, Tracy Hooper, Annice Grundy, Carly Hoy and Jane Peveller, was supported by the Christian Legal Centre, which has provided the nurses with legal, media and pastoral support from the beginning of their ordeal. The case has become one of the most significant legal challenges in recent years concerning the freedom of female staff to access single-sex spaces in the workplace, with the nurses being compared to the Ford Dagenham workers and being dubbed ‘The Angels of the North.’ In January, Employment Judge Seamus Sweeney, ruled that the policy, which had been in place at the Trust for years allowing men who identify as women to access the female staff changing room, had amounted to unlawful discrimination. Following extensive and at times deeply protracted negotiations, the Trust has now paid out £187,000 in damages to the nurses, which does not include legal costs, which are still to be decided at a further hearing. This figure also does not include the Trust’s own legal costs of £603,000, and counting, spent on defending its position of allowing men into female changing rooms.

Ed Davey has written to Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson demanding she WITHDRAW official EHRC guidance protecting female-only spaces in toilets and changing rooms. Let that land. The Equalities and Human Rights Commission — a statutory body — has produced legally grounded guidance telling employers and public bodies that biological men should not access women’s single-sex spaces. This is not opinion. This is not politics. This is the settled legal position following the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling on the meaning of “woman” under the Equality Act. And Ed Davey wants it gone. His stated reason? The guidance is not “compatible with long-standing British values.” British values. He used those words to argue AGAINST protecting women’s single-sex spaces. The same Liberal Democrats who lecture the country about tolerance, inclusion and human rights are now lobbying a Labour minister to tear up statutory guidance that protects every woman in Britain who walks into a changing room, a refuge or a hospital ward. This is not a fringe position within the Lib Dems. Their leader wrote the letter. The party has chosen its side. It is not the side of women. Repost if you think women’s single-sex spaces should be protected.

Keir Starmer dies... ...and ends up at the pearly gates. St. Peter looks at him and finds his name in his book. "So, you're a politician...hated one" "Well, yes. Is there a problem?" "Oh no, there is no problem. But we have a policy for people in your profession, you have to spend a day each in heaven and hell and then you will be free to choose where you want to spend the rest of eternity." "Why can't I choose now? Why do I have to spend a day in hell?" "Well, that is the policy." First, Starmer the hated spends a day in heaven. He sees angels singing and people playing harps. He finds heaven very boring for him. Next, he spends a day in hell. Upon arriving there he expects to see barren wastelands with rivers of lava and people being boiled alive, but instead sees lush greenery and a large five-star hotel in front of him. At the hotel entrance, he sees Satan wearing a tuxedo and sipping on a martini. "This isn't what I expected hell to be." "Oh, hell has been completely misrepresented. We have a luxury five-star hotel with seven-course meals prepared by the best chefs. And we have all the sporting facilities you could imagine with a very large pool. All this is for free." So Starmer spends the entire day playing golf and eating his meals by the poolside. At the end of the day, he sleeps in the most luxurious bed he could imagine in a very large suite. The next morning, when he wakes up, he is back at the pearly gates where St. Peter is waiting for him. "So what will it be?" "I can't believe I'm saying this, but I prefer hell." So, Starmer is transported back to hell, where he sees a barren wasteland illuminated only by the glow of rivers of lava and hears the screams of people being tortured. The people were starving and were dressed in rags. The air is full of the stench of sulphur. Once again, he sees Satan in his tux. "What happened to the hotel, the golf course, the pool and all the greenery I saw yesterday?" "Well'' said Satan, we followed your political career and decided to copy you. Yesterday, we were campaigning; today you voted, and now you must live with Socialist Fabianism."
