How odd β I thought all of this anti-trans stuff was about women's rights?
"The 34-year-old, who won last month's Gorton and Denton by-election, was helped by the police towards a waiting car after anti-transgender activists clashed with women's rights and anti-racism campaigners."

Tomorrow Wes Streeting will remove trans minors ability to access, and doctors to prescribe, cross-sex hormones.
Try as it might Labour will never eradicate trans people. They cannot, and should not, change who they are. All Labour will do is make trans lives harder - with more harm and more death.

Itβs already happening. Iran attacked a desalination plant in Bahrain.
This war has to end immediately. If it turns into a water war we will be dealing with a whole different level of a humanitarian catastrophe across the region.

Jiang predicts that the West will ultimately lose the war when the economies of the Gulf states fail because Iran continues to damage critical infrastructure; they stop propping up the AI bubble in the US; this will lead to a collapse of the US economy.

'FBI documents summarising interviews with a woman who made unsubstantiated claims of sexual assault against Donald Trump have been released as part of the...Epstein files.'
Might we, in 2026, just have a wee bit of a think about how and why claims of sexual assault might be "unsubstantiated"?
Female athletes must pay Β£185 to prove their sex Matt Lawton - Chief Sports Correspondent British female track and field athletes are being asked to pay Β£185 for a sex test if they want to compete internationally. World Athletics requires all athletes to take an SRY gene test before competing in the female category at major championships and Diamond League events to guarantee fair competition by excluding trans and DSD (differences of sex development) competitors. Before the World Championships in Tokyo last September, World Athletics gave $100 per test for the thousand or so female athletes needing one. More money will be provided by the international federation for this yearβs World Junior Championships. But British women have been advised by UK Athletics (UKA) to pay for the test themselves, urging them to have the cheek swab, which indicates the presence of a Y chromosome, βas soon as possible to avoid delays around selectionβ. However, some women have complained it is unfair when the test is not required for men. UKA has a hardship fund to pay for the test and will assess requests on a case-by-case basis. But the situation is symptomatic of a national federation already facing financial challenges, made worse by UK Sport cutting its funding for this Olympic cycle. While almost Β£32 million was given to the relatively niche sports that won five medals at last monthβs Winter Olympics, athletics has had its funding cut from Β£22.18 million to Β£20.45 million despite winning ten medals in 2024. It was only last year UKA returned to some form of financial stability, posting a profit of Β£107,588. But it is now facing a big fine after admitting corporate manslaughter over the death of Abdullah Hayayei, who died in 2017 after a metal cage fell on him while he was training for the World Para Athletics Championships in London.

If you missed it, this kind of moral trash (below) was the pretext for a blokey chat about how best to market modern warfare. The vacuous bro standing in for Evan Davis should be put out to pasture until he grows up. #bbcpm
