🚨Puberty Blockers Trial Update🚨 I’m deeply saddened to announce that the High Court has refused permission for us to proceed to a full Judicial Review hearing in our pursuit to block the deeply unethical and highly dangerous puberty blockers trial. This judgment does not negate the serious and avoidable harm that will be caused if this trial is allowed to proceed. Vulnerable children should never be used as guinea pigs in medical experimentation that may lead them down a path towards irreversible physiological and emotional damage, including infertility. This trial is the antithesis of child safeguarding and I will now be consulting with my lawyers regarding the possibility of an appeal.

The fact that standing up for Israel results in an onslaught of anti-Semitic abuse disproves the notion that you can uncouple hatred of Israel from hatred of Judaism.
I am a Jew from Ireland. To see the national football team behave so disgracefully in tonight’s match against Israel, saddens me. Disrespecting the Israeli anthem. Refusing to even shake hands with the Israeli players. Ireland has become a shadow of its former self.

Just some of the messages I’ve received since criticising the Irish football team last night. Now tell me this isn’t about hatred of Jews.

MPs were recently given chances to stop the puberty blockers trial. This is the proportion of each party that voted to allow it to continue: Conservative: 0%
Reform: 0% Lib Dem: 77.5% Labour: 86.4%
Green: 100% Left-wing parties cannot be trusted to safeguard children.

Typical grievance politics. If you don’t like something, label it “discrimination”. I genuinely wouldn’t be surprised if Andy Burnham now added ‘football supporters’ to the list of protected characteristics in the Equality Act 2010. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c933…

The current state of left-wing party leaders in the UK: Zach Polanski (Green): “Transwomen are women” Ed Davey (Liberal Democrat): Women “quite clearly” can have a penis Andy Burnham (Labour): “Trans rights are human rights” All 3 support giving puberty blockers to children. Left wing parties cannot be trusted to uphold biological reality and safeguard children.

Social integration and a shared commitment to British values matter far more than rigid definitions of ancestry. Ethnicity is real. But it does not determine Britishness. If you contribute positively to society and fully assimilate into our culture, you are British.

From 3 November, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which represents seventy thousand therapists, will make “anti-oppressive practice” a mandatory ethical principle. BACP’s President has called for “decolonising whiteness”. jamesesses.co.uk/p/critical-…

🚨I see that the NSPCC is in the news today for all the wrong reasons. I was a volunteer counsellor within the organisation for over 5 years. After whistleblowing my concerns regarding the safeguarding of children, I was told to leave. Here are some of the things I witnessed: -Message boards in which children advise each other about sourcing cross-sex hormones and genital surgery -Advising vulnerable girls on wearing breast binders -Defending men who want to ‘chest feed’ babies -Telling children that, if they are left infertile after transitioning, they can always get a surrogate to carry a baby for them -A CEO who has said that ‘transwomen’ should be “celebrated” -A webpage which reads as a roadmap to transitioning -Trans flags flying in its counselling rooms -Collaboration with Mermaids -Enlisting children to make pride flags for marches -Selling ideological reading material through its online shop -A Head of Childline, Shaun Friel, who said that it is a “privilege” to work with children “coming out” regarding their “gender identity” If our children are not safe contacting the NSPCC, where are they safe?

Making British citizens pay taxes for the privilege of holidaying in their own country is a blow to the hospitality industry, as it will drive people to holiday abroad. It also causes more financial misery for a nation with its highest tax burden since WWII. Typical Labour.
Big day today - we're confirming plans for an Overnight Visitor Levy. This is the right policy to help raise funds to support regional leaders to invest in growth and the visitor economy in their region. Some Mayors will use it and do great things with the power. Others will decide not to use it. The opportunity for different decisions is good. We will see how different places fare over time with different choices. And whether or not to use it will be a source of debate at the next Mayoral elections - also good. Over to you now Sadiq, Bev, Tracy, Helen Steve, Kim, Oliver, Richard, David, Claire, Paul, Ben, Luke and Andrea!

With wars raging across the world and regimes seeking to do us harm, our Prime Minister delivered the shocking and dangerous line: “National security cannot come at the expense of social security” If we can’t protect ourselves, there won’t be anything left to socially secure.
