Judgement Day for the EHRC How the equality watchdog turned into a culture war campaign group

This is an excellent analysis of the cack-handed overreach by the EHRC in its attempt to use the Supreme Court judgement to make the lives of Trans people intolerable.

Trump ICE regime forces are kidnapping former Afghan translators that risked their lives to help the US. The regime in coordination with corrupt judges is entrapping people. When they show up to hearings the corrupt judges dismiss their cases quickly to allow ICE to snatch the victims. #3E #StopICE

The scourge of shrinkflation needs to be exposed. Shoppers are being hammered during a cost of living crisis while massive companies force them to pay more for less.

The Government must accept our Liberal Democrat amendment to protect shoppers and their already stretched household budgets.

I am increasingly disappointed that the concerns of the #LGBTQ+ community over what the Supreme Court judgement means for them are not yet being addressed. I have written to the Government asking them to make clear how trans and non binary rights will be protected.

His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.

No10 silent after Trump says Ukraine shouldn't have fought back against Putin Speaking in the Oval Office, the US President told Fox News Ukraine's President Volodomyr Zelensky was "no angel" and added he "shouldn't have allowed this war to happen"

The people of Ukraine have valiantly fought to defend their democracy and freedom. Donald Trump has only ever fought to enrich himself and his cronies. Britain must stand with Ukraine against Putin.

Fee, fi, fo…Trump: how an ogre won back the White House Large, fearsome, gluttonous and cruel: Donald Trump is the archetypal ogre. So how did he manage to stomp back for a second term?

A breathtakingly brilliant piece by Edward Docx. Absolutely magnificent. What a writer.
