It’s true my GP has, after 44 years taking estrogens and been prescribed them from this surgery for the last 4 years, has referred me back to the gender clinic ‘because they have no expertise in prescribing these hormones’ I was signed off from the gender clinic in 1990.

Green win shows progressive voters are now voting against Labour as well as Reform Gorton and Denton byelection shatters Labour strategy of neglecting its core base while focusing on Reform defectors

I generally assume that political parties know what their constituencies think better than the rest of us do: they spend so much money on polling and focus groups.

But I would be *amazed* if they understood how viscerally they are loathed by young progressives for pushing trans people under a bus.

id like to point out that health secretaries are not supposed to be dictating what medications or treatments are available on the nhs.

that's not actually part of wes streeting's job. he has emergency powers to intervene. he's not supposed to be abusing that power to ban treatments he doesn't like.

UK junk food ad ban so diluted it may be largely ineffective, experts say Exclusive: Report suggests only 1% of annual spend on food and drink adverts will be affected after industry lobbying

Every pardoned J6er keeps getting caught being a pedophile, it's weird how many dozens and dozen and dozens of times this keeps happening.

Almost like they fundamentally do not believe in consent and that laws apply to them.

Today I asked ministers to deny* that the number of jury acquittals in protest cases was a factor in the Government’s dangerous attack on jury trials.

*They did not do this

Letters to the Editor are the Op-Ed section's carefully selected garden of least-thing-we-can-do to feign an open marketplace of ideas compared to the front page of the Sunday Opinion Section, for instance. Or in-house hot take artists publishing bigoted shit every week.

Every move by a Fascist regime should be countered immediately by the full might of an Opposition Party asking:

"Are you prepared to fight for this under oath tomorrow?"

I see that it has taken "Pissed Off Lawyer" - JK Rowling's latest pet detransitioner - less than a year since detransition to find Jesus and become a raving MAGAhead.

Every single prominent detrans voice I have come across is an ideological warrior, promoting Right Wing talking points. 1/
