Would be glorious if Mandelson takes them both down.

Trans athletes may not have fitness advantage in women’s sport, landmark study finds Findings suggest physical performance in trans women converges toward that of cis women over time

A new systematic review has found that trans women on HRT have the same level of fitness as cis women and don't retain any advantage in sports.

The figures here also show that 7% of all child suicides were trans children. That compares with trans children making up only 1% of the population.

Trans kids are seven times as likely to die by suicide as cis kids and all this government can do is make things worse and cover these figures up.

As a doctor I don’t understand why one of the recommendations isn’t to upskill GPs on Trans healthcare so they are better at initial assessment, early referral to specialist services and able to provide maintenance care.

We can all upskill. This isn’t hard.

These were warm.

Dunno it was hard spreading the cream on the jam.

Age old question…what’s the right way to eat scones?

You were in my neighbourhood.

Progressive politics works only if you stick to your values. If you appease the right you lose credibility with your base and help to give the arguments of the right credence.

UK Labour is the best example of how not to do it.

Several pharmacies are allowing self pay.

Self paid for mine but they are pricey. £100.

The driver "managed to contact the control centre at Network Rail and get the train diverted onto the slow line", Calder says. "That was absolutely crucial because this train was scheduled to be travelling through Huntingdon station on the tracks with no platform at 125mph." "It didn't stop in the middle of nowhere, which would have been very difficult." Calder thinks this was handled in the "safest possible way" thanks to the "incredible professionalism from the driver and the police". Train drivers are trained on how to take appropriate action, he adds,

Next time someone tells you that train drivers "just push buttons" show them this from the BBC

Agree. Can’t believe it took so long.

I like Jimmy Kimmel. I really do. I have no issues with him.

I'm talking about something very different.

Kimmel was only suspended. But he's back now. Karen Attiah and all the other Black journalists are still fired.

Y'all do know how to fight, when you want to.

But you don't really want to. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Jimmy Kimmel is coming back. It’s proof that you still have power | Robert Reich Disney saw hurricane-level blowback over the talkshow host’s suspension, thanks in large part to consumers

‘When our outrage translates into withholding our consumer dollars, a big corporation like Disney is forced to listen – and respond.
Next time you’re feeling powerless, remember this.’
- Robert Reich

Sounds like Labour now!

“Free speech is an inalienable right.”

Unless you want to protest genocide, refer to someone with their correct pronouns, criticise someone for being a bigot, boycott an organisation for their human rights abuses, etc. Then politicians aggressively try to regulate and police speech. It’s perverse.

We're 7 months in and Trump and the oligarchs have completely seized control of the media. If you criticize them, your show will be pulled from the air.

This is what dictators do. Fascism isn't coming, it's here.

Starmer abandoned all principles and betrayed most who voted for him despite being handed a majority that could have been truly transformative, he’s given us more of the same and the culture wars feel worse than they have ever been.

They’re trying to turn us into little Trumpland.

Anyone wondering how Germany ended up with Hitler and gas chambers?

It was having this sort of stuff normalised.

America is in a dark place that this could be said on a mainstream station with no repercussions.

This is so spot on.

So homophobia in football is ok again. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Charlie Kirk spent his life making people like me unsafe. His followers sent me death threats for years and threatened my employer if they didn’t terminate me.

His work was NEVER about free speech. It was about hate and emboldening violent people. The dishonesty of the past 24hrs is disgusting.

Far far far right. bsky.app/profile/junl...
