Changes in Suicidality among Transgender Adolescents Following Hormone Therapy: An Extended Study To examine changes in suicidality following hormone therapy (HT) among transgender and gender-diverse adolescents and young adults.A retrospective cha…

A very, very important peer-reviewed empirical study published in the academic journal Pediatrics shows that hormone treatment of young trans people decreases suicidality very significantly.

Doubtless it will be ignored by Simonoff et al, who are not even measuring this in the “Pathways” study.

I find this deeply unsettling…

First Farage platformed notorious UK anti-vaxxer, Aseem Malhotra, who insinuated that Covid vaccines caused the Royal Family’s recent cancers.

Now he’s openly trashing scientific method & evidence, pretending neither can be trusted & facts are a free for all.

This is deeply dangerous populism.

Trans folk aren't killing people.
Black history isn't killing people.
Empathy isn't killing people.
Feminism isn't killing people.
Left wing YouTube isn't killing people.

It's guns.
It's literally guns.

What do we know about the arrests at the ‘Unite The Kingdom’ march? – Full Fact Claims that most of those arrested were counter-protesters don’t tally with what the police have said.

We’ve seen social media posts claiming 70% of those arrested at the ‘Unite the Kingdom’ march were counter-protesters.

There’s no evidence for this. The Met Police said only one of the 24 arrests was someone believed to be involved in the counter-protest.

Good morning. Did a little activism.

Flags is it?

Democracy has been manipulated by the Rich (Corporation's & Individuals). Governments don't work for the people they work for their paymasters.The Average person does not follow the news on a daily basis. Financial inequality is the catalyst. Those marching need to read & understand modern history

Worth a read. Wild how easily rich people can get their opinions into influential news programmes just by setting up a think tank, presumably just by packaging their announcement in a way that comfortably fills a slot on a quiet morning.

Over a million people now seeing and hearing what Nigel Farages constituents really think of him.

Keep spreading the word! 👇🏼

Dividing us is the whole point, the whole aim of everything Reform are about. They want that enemy within so, so badly, they crave it, so they can divide us.

Here’s something the British people should know about Reform that never featured on a mainstream media platform as far as I know. @yorkshirebylines.co.uk @bylinesnetwork.co.uk

Oh 😦

“I too came from a poorish family,” says the 3rd Viscount Monckton of Brenchley, eldest son of Major-General Gilbert Monckton, 2nd Viscount Monckton of Brenchley and Marianna Letitia, Viscountess Monckton of Brenchley.

Dismayed by the "I loathe Gl**ner but his arrest should scare us all" takes. The bar for arrest over a social media post *should be extremely high*, but a guy who's harassed trans people 19 hours a day for 8 years, telling his 600k fans to attack any trans women they see, clears that bar v easily?

This is the quintessential Farage. Wild simplistic statements hitting a wall of reality when questioned.

Hmmm no mention of Angela Rayner 🤔

Nigel Farage uses private company to pay less tax on GB News earnings Exclusive: Reform leader’s use of personal services firm is a practice criticised across the political spectrum

This is a huge story.

Don't let him get away with it.

I've read Sir Laurie Magnus's conclusion and Rayner's resignation letter.

Rayner did breach the ministerial code, but in a very minor way. Under previous governments, we saw more serious breaches on a daily basis without consequence.

I hope her absence from government is short.

Tax aside, this is objectively a very sad end to Rayner’s political career: a teenage single mum from a deprived family who went onto be deputy prime minister. The right wing press detested her for not knowing her place. Their glee at her downfall will be palpable in tomorrow’s front pages.

Agree with this completely

Now do Fartage.

Reform's Cost-Cutting Unit Struggles With The Reality Of Local Pressures After more than 100 days in office, those in charge of Reform-led councils are facing a political reality check in the form of soaring social care ...

I know there’s a bit going on but this feature about Reform rubbing up against the reality of local government is great www.politicshome.com/news/article...

Tip for the Mail, Telegraph, etc - imagine how you’d report this if this was Angela Rayner

Absolutely with you on both these points

Rayner is absolute class. She's been a bit silly in organising her taxes, but that's not why they hate her. They hate her because she did not know her place.

get why she had to go but irksome she lost her job to something quite complex and, let's be honest, reasonably minor in the grand scheme of things, when shadow cabinet members get to merrily hang out with Eddie Swastika without any repercussions

This is vile. Local guy speaks to Sky News about the impact of asylum seekers protests. Watch what happens and share widely

People need to understand who and what # Farage is.
