While unavailable for this obvious hit piece, if you're legit worried about 'politicians saying/doing things that aren't evidence based', there are far more prominent examples

Things you like to see on your high street - 4 Dutch bikes used by DFDS ferry staff.

I always love seeing this mundane sign of our North Sea connection.

What a result!! Huge congratulations to the amazing Hannah Spencer - everyone in Gorton and Denton has just made history. This result shows @greenparty.org.uk can win anywhere, that the politics of hope can win over the politics of hate & there is no longer any such thing as a Labour safe seat 💚

Cathy Newman @cathynewman BREAKING on @TimesRadio : we’ve unearthed social media posts by a senior officer at the MHRA, the regulator overseeing the puberty blockers trial. 4:49 PM · Feb 27, 2026 · 39.2K Views Relevant View quotes Replying to @cathynewman and @TimesRadio No file chosen Cathy Newman @cathynewman · 1h Posts expressing gender critical views and mocking trans supporters appeared on the X account of Prof Jacob George, MHRA’s chief medical and scientific officer, who was only appointed last month Cathy Newman @cathynewman · 1h His account has now been deleted and the MHRA told us the Prof had been recused from the trial. Stay tuned…

No one will be shocked that overtly anti-trans officials have been appointed to the MHRA puberty blockers trial.

What is shocking is actual journalism being done to uncover them, and that when uncovered they've been removed.

An important step in the right direction.

Watch this space.

Instead, I suspect that, in 2-3 years time, once the Daily Mail says something, they will be espousing this for the UK. It’s utterly dreadful. Our US (and particularly Kansas dwelling) siblings have my heartfelt sympathy.

In the Holocaust, Jews faced a continuing series of laws forbidding them to do certain activities & occupations. The goal was to remove them from society. The US is now doing this to trans ppl. Generally, once one State brings in such laws, others follow.

Almost half of cyclists don't feel safe on London's roads, research finds The study also found that a little over a third – 36 per cent – of cyclists believe their local area has adequate infrastructure

"London is statistically very safe for cycling... but there’s still a way to go.

“We need more cycle tracks, junction redesigns, crossings, routes through LTNs and more besides if we want more Londoners to switch cars for cycling."

This is a truly magnificent map:

Extremists always like to present the vulnerable & minorities in society as the problem. They need to take a look in their mirrors!

You are born that way. There is no trans ideology, because it is not an ideology. It’s as human as having red hair or size 10 feet. Additionally if you look up the crime data it’s fascinating. Despite being presented as aggressive, violent & predatory trans ppl are significantly less likely to..,

New data shows surge in trans kids’ suicides following healthcare rollbacks | Good Law Project A freedom of information request by Good Law Project has found that deaths by suicide of trans young people under 18 surged following the withdrawal of gender-affirming healthcare

We want to support Girlguiding and the Women's Institute to remain inclusive. We think the law is on our side, and we're offering to cover all their costs.

But we need you to tell them how important trans inclusion is to you 👇

What the hell is going on with this country?

Humiliated in the media, denied healthcare, attacked by the human rights watchdog, shut out by the Supreme Court, bullied by social services and the police, disadvantaged in the jobs market, death figures covered up by the State, harassment de facto legalised, and attackers deified by Ministers.

Turkey isn't the first place you'd think of as being a defender of trans rights, and you'd be right, it isn't.

But it IS ranked higher for trans rights than the UK! I kid you not.

18.5% compared to UK's 6.57% in the ILGA Rankings.

NEVER tell me you're a Labour supporter again, unless you're telling me that you're my enemy.

These MPs. Edinburgh Leith, North Northumberland, Birmingham Edgbaston, Gower, Pendle & Clitheroe, Mitcham and Morden.

All of them low-rent MPs, not the cabinet GCs. But the party is RIDDLED with them.

‘Carnage of concern and upset’: Women’s Institute groups close after transgender ban Members warn NFWI decision has opened up toxic culture that deters younger women from joining

This is a powerful story for me. Several branches of the Women's Institute are closing across the UK in protest at the new trans-exclusionary ban against trans women. It cuts through the lie by the media and GC groups about speaking on behalf of women. Solidarity.

Youth gender care in the UK had scandalous aspects, only in the opposite direction of the claims the press ran with.

In addition to years long waits for time sensitive treatments, older teens who passed assessment were forced to do a year on puberty blockers before hormones were considered.

Every “gender-critical” transphobe, and every creepy transphobic journalist “just asking questions” is responsible for this.

Transphobia IS fascism.

Council of Europe Assembly backs ban on conversion practices | ILGA-Europe The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe has adopted a landmark resolution calling on states to ban conversion practices.

“The Assembly has now called on member states to act swiftly, arguing that ending conversion practices requires not only legal bans, but sustained political will, properly funded services for survivors, and public education to prevent further harm.”

This is welcome news from Europe. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈
