Statement on the EHRC guidance. The EHRC ‘guidance’ put out at 10pm last night is a bigoted attempt to segregate trans people in public spaces. It is almost certainly unlawful. Full statement on our website.

Matt Walsh says, "Remember when they spent years telling us to panic over the hole in the ozone layer and then suddenly just stopped talking about it and nobody ever mentioned the ozone layer again?"

Derek replies, "What happened is scientists discovered chlorofluorocarbons were bad for the ozone, countries believed them, the Montreal Protocol was signed, and CFC use fell by 99.7%, leading to the stabilization of the ozone layer, perhaps the greatest example of global cooperation in history."

The image shows a view of a small tidal island with the tide largely in, cutting it off from the land in the foreground which has the base of a concrete structure on it. There is more land in the background. Occupying much of the land area of the island is a grey stone castle which has a surrounding wall with ruined gables extending above it. The sky is blue. The image is heavily edited, with a castle from elsewhere in Scotland placed in the location seen here. The front cover of ‘A Tangled Web’ is shown in the top right corner.

You can’t ask a dead man who pulled the trigger. ‘A Tangled Web’ is a fast-paced new thriller set in northern Scotland. The fictional Culkein Drumbeg Castle in Assynt has an important role in the story.

Nine months in power: how does Labour’s legislative plan look? Since the election, the government has been busy making new laws, but most people have not noticed. So, here’s a roundup of progress.

What you don't see in the headlines about Labour; so far, 36 bills have been presented, the highest number in a single session for 20 years. Sixteen of them have already received Royal Assent. eastangliabylines.co.uk/politics/nin...

Trudeau: He has said repeatedly, what he wants is to see a total collapse of the Canadian economy. Because that will make it easier to annex us. First of all, that's never going to happen. We will never be the 51st state.

Americans of conscience, we must stand together and confront any president so wholly unsuited to lead the United States.
