🔴NEW: VIP lane firm folds, putting another £2.58m of useless PPE at risk of being unrecoverable. Hotel Logistics becomes the latest to wind up, leaving a question mark over £338m of waste now attributable to eight pandemic-era VIPs. @GoodLawProject goodlawproject.org/vip-lane-firm-…

Do you think maybe this was never about getting the hostages back?

He also framed this as a measure to ‘reduce violence against women’, thereby implying that trans women are inherently violent. If you vote Labour, you are explicitly endorsing this repugnant bigotry.

When I reported that Wes Streeting had endorsed a ban on trans women accessing women's wards, Starmer's fans and supporters reacted by calling me a liar. I was told that Labour would never support such a policy. Now Keir Starmer has endorsed the idea.
📺 Here is the clip from ITV. Starmer says that he agrees with NHS changes that would ban trans people from single-sex wards. He's then asked *specifically* if he agrees with the idea that trans women are women who should be able to access women's wards. He says: "I disagree".
Remember how Keir Starmer made political capital out of Rishi Sunak mocking him for not reducing trans people to their body parts? He did that because the mother of murdered trans girl Brianna Ghey was there. As we can see here, that was cynical opportunism.

I love that I live in a country that has money to pay people to do this all day, but not to provide life-saving medical care.

To be clear on how absurd this is, the RCGP object to GPs being expected to do bloods for patients on HRT. Bloods ffs. Real complicated specialist work that.
We are deeply concerned by the new @rcgp guidance, which depends on a number of concerning false narratives spread through the media to propose severe interruptions to trans people's access to care through general practice. rcgp.org.uk/representing-y…
Whenever people claim that medicine and medical trials are simply an exercise in objective science with no subjectivity/political context: remember that the medical trials for the male contraceptive pill were halted for causing the same side effects women get from such pills.
Daily Mail is a fascist rag.

Honestly baffling to me! I just cannot see how the electoral calculus being done here can possibly work in their favour? Is it just, "say the bland thing that won't cause negative headlines, because we're already so far ahead"?
We truly are at the height of this moral panic and the Labour Party do not have the courage to protect the rights of the most marginalised. They consider negative headlines too high a cost, but alienating the queer community absolutely acceptable.
He also framed this as a measure to ‘reduce violence against women’, thereby implying that trans women are inherently violent. If you vote Labour, you are explicitly endorsing this repugnant bigotry.
🚨 BREAKING: Labour will ban trans women from female hospital wards, confirms Keir Starmer. Starmer told ITV today he agrees with NHS reforms that would ban trans people from single-sex wards. When asked if trans women should be allowed on women's wards, he said: "I disagree".
📺 Here is the clip from ITV. Starmer says that he agrees with NHS changes that would ban trans people from single-sex wards. He's then asked *specifically* if he agrees with the idea that trans women are women who should be able to access women's wards. He says: "I disagree".
When I reported that Wes Streeting had endorsed a ban on trans women accessing women's wards, Starmer's fans and supporters reacted by calling me a liar. I was told that Labour would never support such a policy. Now Keir Starmer has endorsed the idea.
It's soooo depressing... especially as it's such a tiny but vocal group pressing for stripping trans people's rights, none of whom can articulate the claimed threat that trans people pose by just living their lives as they always have.
We truly are at the height of this moral panic and the Labour Party do not have the courage to protect the rights of the most marginalised. They consider negative headlines too high a cost, but alienating the queer community absolutely acceptable.
Would Keir Starmer call a trans man a woman to his face? Or is his rule that you should only not misgender someone if they’ve been murdered and their bereaved parent might be in ear shot?
Remember how Keir Starmer made political capital out of Rishi Sunak mocking him for not reducing trans people to their body parts? He did that because the mother of murdered trans girl Brianna Ghey was there. As we can see here, that was cynical opportunism.
Starmer states that Rosie Duffield is right to say only women have a cervix
"The people of Havering can finally sleep safely in their beds, thanks to stop and search powers" 🤪
Another successful stop and search of suspects using the Cherry tree flat stairwell for ASB and drugs.
Workload my arse. Your average GP would fold in half if he had to do the job of a HCA.
[scene, some fucko GPs office] SFGP: I'm trying to prescribe estradiol patches, 100micg as well as these antidepressants, but my workload, it is so heavy.
GPs refusing to do blood tests on behalf of secondary services is not normal. That is not how they act wrt to blood tests for anything where most patients are çis.
GPs approach trans healthcare like guys who pretend they can't figure out how the washing machine works so their wife will do it.
To be clear on how absurd this is, the RCGP object to GPs being expected to do bloods for patients on HRT. Bloods ffs. Real complicated specialist work that.
We are deeply concerned by the new @rcgp guidance, which depends on a number of concerning false narratives spread through the media to propose severe interruptions to trans people's access to care through general practice. rcgp.org.uk/representing-y…
