Look at these beauties? Growing so well. 3 years in the ground. 5 acres of species-poor former 'paddock', 3,500 native grown trees and shrubs, 12 different species. Tallest now perhaps 9ft tall? With the help of the wonderful @WoodlandTrust

Ridiculous!

Well done, @GreenpeaceUK
Greenpeace activists have dropped boulders in the North Sea to snag the dragnets of industrial trawlers fishing in a marine protected area (#MPA).

Every claim being made here about trans people by City of London applies more strongly and for better reasons to women. It's ludicrous that they cannot see it

The proportion of trans-identified men in prison in the UK for sex offences is higher than among the male prison population as a whole. How do you explain that?
Fender Davecaster retweeted
The ludicrous thing about this judgment is the centrality of whether Sandie said the words “gender critical beliefs” or said she didn’t want to undress in front of a male.
When she spoke to me I knew exactly what she was expressing.
The RCN didn’t even try to understand.

Nurses like Sandie should be allowed to do their job caring for patients, not subjected to witch hunts for defending their basic rights to privacy and dignity.
This ruling on her union’s failures to support her (not about single-sex spaces where she has already won) is disapppointing but takes nothing away from Sandie’s courage in standing up not just for herself but for women’s rights.
The usual suspects will twist the outcome to attack her after what she’s been through but she is braver and better than them.
Either way, the next Conservative government will put a stop to this nonsense. The NHS should support its nurses, and regulators should focus on what actually matters: professional standards and patient safety not silly fads.
The dismissal today of Sandie Peggie’s case against the Royal College of Nursing should concern every healthcare professional who believes in biological reality.
Bethany Hutchison, President of the Darlington Nursing Union, said:
“Sandie’s story shows why healthcare professionals need a union that understands their convictions before a crisis begins.
“The court’s decision does not erase the fears and lawful beliefs of nurses who believe their union may not represent them robustly when disputes involve biological sex and gender identity.
“Sandie’s experience shows how vulnerable a nurse can become when trust in union representation breaks down.
“Gender-critical nurses deserve representation from a union whose starting point is clear: biological sex is real, freedom of belief matters, and lawful single-sex protections must be defended.
“The Darlington Nursing Union exists to provide that representation. We will stand firmly alongside our members, seek early and effective resolutions, and defend them robustly if a dispute escalates.
"Our members should never have to question whether their union shares a commitment to defending their lawful rights."
