The Brexit tide has turned
🗳️ Latest poll:
🔵 Remain: 52%
🔴 Leave: 29%
⚪️ Wouldn’t vote: 11%
⚪️ Don’t know: 8%
But if you remove the non-voters, real result is:
✅ Remain: 64%
❌ Leave: 36%
That’s nearly a 2:1 margin to rejoin.
Mandate gone.

Even a single girl robbed of a place on a podium or a team because of a male cheat is one too many.

Devastating from @timowenkc
& @KenMacdonaldKC on the draft Conversion Practices Bill:
“If I read the Theft Act, I have a pretty good idea of whether I’ll be committing theft or not. If I read this Act, I have no idea whether I’ll be committing an offence….”

<These rules & principles require criminal laws to be sufficiently precise that they are accessible and foreseeable, so that citizens can regulate their conduct and predict whether they are acting lawfully or not. Without that, the potential for a chilling effect is obvious.
Ted Page #FBPE #RejoinEU retweeted
If nothing else, the divergence of opinion about what conduct the Conversion Practices Bill would & wouldn't criminalise shows its incompatibility with Art 7 ECHR (no punishment without law), the common law principle of legal certainty & the rule against doubtful penalisation>
This was from back in June on the Conversion Practices Bill. There was only a handful of us raising concerns.
I remember being staggered at the time how clear it was that the Minister hadn’t read or understood her own bill. And she didn’t even attempt to answer the question on whether a parent withholding consent for a child to participate in the puberty blocker trial could be at risk of 5 years in prison.
This Minister is now the Chair of the Women and Equalities Select Committee.

I agree. The question of what is "abusive" in the context of the gender debate is a political one, not a legal one. Some people think "misgendering" is abusive, I personally don't. One person's plain speaking truth telling is another's "abuse".
That's the problem.

Been quite the day. Grateful to Parliament for letting us speak and to Helen and Dermot for being such effective advocates.
This bill is dangerous and it will criminalise innocent parents. It cannot be amended into civility. It must be defeated.

Another meeting with expert psychotherapists, academics and experienced parents discussing the many potential harms of the terrible #CPBill #conversionbill. Some of us Parliamentarians have been steeped in this for several years, yet the Bill is being led through the House by those new MPs who had an agenda to push it as Labour Party activists and staffers. One drafted it, one is Chairing - and was the Head of Investigations against women like me. Women like me would have been blocked from joining the Bill Committee as a Labour MP, I have zero chance of getting near it and contributing now. Won't stop me finding other platforms to speak against it though, obviously...

Many people didn't see that Russia was attacking our data and cyberspace over a long period of time. Then we found a way to weaken Russia's strategy, to respond to their attacks on data. We are different here. Ukraine is more technologically advanced. The Russians attacked our data centers so many times, and still we had cell service and an Internet connection. Because we are digitally decentralized and advanced. Our responses are more painful for Russia because they are more centralized. They have a different strategy. Because they have a lot of air defense assets, they are simply defending what they have. We don’t have too much air defense – we have a shortage. That is why we decentralized everything, not only data. But we always try to respond and do so only after Russian attacks against us.

Zuckerberg already admitted it wrongly suspended the No Kings Instagram account during the peak of a massive voter-mobilization effort.
Now, seven days before the midterms, Zuckerberg has suspended the account Angie Nixon’s Senate campaign uses to organize Latino voters.
At what point do repeated “mistakes” that suppress organizing by Democrats become an election-integrity crisis?

The last Referendum didn't ask if you wanted to be:
-in or out of SM
-in or out of CU
-in or out of FoM, Erasmus, Europol, Euratom
-in a Norway, or Swiss style deal
It's rank hypocrisy to expect Rejoin to specify the exact deal before voting 🤦🤦🤦

And to the maga nasties out here who are suggesting I am not an American since I also have a Czech citizenship and therefore I voted illegally here in Florida. I got news for you. Melania trump is also a dual citizen- of US and Slovenia.
So yes-
I can vote, I have voted and will be voting democratic as long the GOP remains a party of pedophile and rapist protectors. Among other things.

What is homophobia?
“irrational fear, hatred, discomfort with, or prejudice against people who are lesbian or gay.”
“The term comes from the Greek words homos (‘same’) and phobos (‘fear’). It was coined in the late 1960s by psychologist George Weinberg to describe negative attitudes, contempt, aversion, or prejudice toward homosexual individuals.”
If a lesbian carries a sign saying “lesbians don’t have penises” she is expressing the fact that lesbians are female homosexuals.
Any lesbian who carries such a sign at a Pride march these days or wears a t-shirt with this text to an “LGBTQ+” or “Queer” event faces hostility and may have to be escorted out for her own safety.
Pride — along with the “LGBTQ+”,“Queer” movement — is profoundly homophobic. In many countries, the most virulent form of homophobia we face — as female and male homosexuals — is from the “LGBTQ+”, “Queer” movement.
We’re really sick of it.

Andy Burnham, "She said it was a mistake for the Conservative party to leave the European Union before we had a plan for growth outside the EU"
"She may as well have said that it was a mistake to leave the EU without a plan in place to control migration"
"Because that is what led to the Boris wave, in the government she was in"
"Where migration in this country changed, away from revolving door migration (with the EU), towards long term settlement"
"Let's have humility from the Conservative benches who left low growth and migration our of control"
Kemi Badenoch, "I stand by my words. Where we make mistakes I own up to them"
Badenoch then claims that Burnham doesn't respect Labours own Brexit red lines, even though he's already said that he isn't changing them during this parliament.
Burnham then picks up on her claim where she says she admits to making mistakes observing that twice on BBC London she was asked whether Brexit was good or bad for the economy, and she refused to answer.
Badenoch then says yes, to Brexit being good for the economy.
The Conservatives spent years promising Brexit would boost the economy. Now, when asked if it actually did, their leader needed a shove to say yes.
They left the country with weaker growth and a mess of their own making. The lectures can wait.

The electorate aren’t goldfish. Our memories are long enough to recall June 2024, when you declared that trans-identified men with penises should be able to use women’s public bathrooms. It took a Supreme Court ruling to force you to uphold women’s rights, and now you pose as our bold champion? Please.
The time for talk has long passed. This government is putting its money where its mouth is when it comes to supporting women and girls.
We'll back practical action to confine misogyny to the history books - in public services, workplaces, and online.
