I'll need reading glasses or bifocal/ varifocals. Which I needed pre surgery, just for different reasons. TBH in retrospect I'd rather they'd just got rid of the cataracts but left my focal abilities exactly as they were.

I think that comes with private surgery not NHS

The idea that we would grant people asylum, and then rescind it after potentially decades, seems to me both unworkable and inhumane.

Corporation tax, as a friend in the Inland Revenue ( as was) used to say, is a tax designed to be avoided.

Coward.

2/2 Also no discussion whether I really wanted 20/20 distance vision but not be able to see anything up to 4 ft. Cue comedy moment when I couldn't text/phone OH to come & get me in hospital, 'cos no longer able to see phone keyboard.

NHS Cataract surgery update. I now have 2 operated eyes, 1 toric ,1 not. They wouldn't do 2 toric because one eye was not astigmatic enough. Second non toric surgery not great & still blurry1/2 .

If they don't call this the Quorn Laws then the country truly is gone.

That test happens in athletics and works. It's been in place for a while.

Well the female boxers will be able to avoid being smashed in the face by blokes, so there's that.

I am struggling to see this as "news".

Whilst also not having paid the costs due to FWS for the last litigation. A deliberate strategy.

Tell me about it

Sadly, I can't be. My autistic daughter is captured and irretrievably harmed by it

The panellists include this individual Saorsa-Amatheia Tweedale ( aka Mark Tweedale) who says he's a lesbian. He was recently in the news for wearing fetish gear to the office. He works across the civil service.

I worked in tax. Supreme Court rulings in tax or any matter of law, as Jolyon Maugham once said but seems to have forgotten, are binding. l'd have been thrown out of my professional body if I'd told a client to ignore one. So this is the UK Govt advocating breaking UK law. Unprecedented I think.

Well exactly. It's nonsense. Very good take down of it by SexMatters on X. But it shows that Labour are simply not up to withstanding the Trans lobby inside their own party never mind outside it.

Despite Keir Starmer's assurances last week, *this* week Bridget Phillipson has instructed lawyers to argue in Court that some men should be allowed in women's single sex spaces on a case by case basis, in direct contravention of the Supreme Court ruling. archive.ph/y4yW7 Labour can't be trusted

When will the BBC face up to the truth? Last week a leaked dossier revealed the BBC’s biased reporting on the topic of sex and gender alongside concerns over biased coverage of Donald Trump and the war in Gaza.

In a court of law this week Good Law Project ( which must now be an ironic name) argued that if you let a male cleaner into a ladies loo to clean it, that loo becomes "gender neutral" 😂

Lots of BBC bros on X denying there's an issue with bias & gender. Unfortunately TERFs always keep the receipts. Here's a lovely R4 Today programme producer in 2019

More news you won't see covered on the BBC open.substack.com/pub/genspect...

While we're talking "bias by omission" you won't see any detail on the BBC Prescott report on here apart from lefty bros apologists saying it's a right wing conspiracy.

In BBC staff inboxes this week: How to be a trans ally" . Regardless of your views on trans ideology, it is NO part of a journalist's job to be an "ally" for one view.

Because essentially it's a men's rights movement. Noone cares about transmen, because they're women.
