Appalling stuff said so casually. "I sound obscene" she says - the only thing she got right. Clearly she doesn't think the lesson of the Holocaust extends to the "skinny emaciated Palestinians" who are the fodder of the "wall of carnage" which she abhors only cos it makes defending genocide harder

To anyone dismayed about not getting Muppet Knives Out don't worry because they basically already did that in 1979 with Liza Minnelli and it's a perfect (Emmy-nominated!) episode of TV that you can enjoy right now!

A cycling influencer nominated for a list of top 100 women cyclists said she has declined the honour due to the decision not to include trans women.

Claire Sharpe, a cycling coach from Bristol, said: "If they don't want to ride with all women, then it's not the kind of ride I want to be part of" 👏🏻
