In the last decade, the BBC has legitimised climate change denialism, paved the way for Brexit, defended the coup that was prorogation, over-platformed Farage's Far Right projects, and is neutral on our abandonment of human rights norms.

Was having a conversation recently about these people and how they have to believe they are right. They truly believe history will laud. They couldn't do what they do if they believed anything else.
I came across a clip from yesterday from LBC of John Sopel and Emily Maitlis talking to Shelagh Fogarty about what's happening at the BBC and they all conceded the complainant DID have a point about the BBC's pro-trans bias and it was just three people being transphobic for a couple of minutes.

The narrative put forward by Maitliss is the one you're likely to have heard.
But that isn't what really happened.
The kids lost their care. Some took their own lives. Nobody was 'saved'.
There is no 'trans ideology', just people who needed help.

Nobody cares that Paul Givan ordered schools to (illegally) discriminate against trans kids.

I was watching this and waiting for her to claim she was shut down by some kind of shadowy trans lobby conspiracy, but it's not even that! She's somehow citing the fact that she *wasn't* hindered from pursuing an anti-trans line as proof of pro-trans bias?!

For years, I’ve known that Maitlis was a key player in the institutional and orchestrated attacks on Trans+ youth
Now, emboldened and clearly unrepentant, she's flaunting her complicity
The world can now see her for who she is - someone willing to weaponise their power against the vulnerable

Remember, when journalists just let trans people live their lives in peace, it’s “ideological capture”, but when they use their own personal anti-trans beliefs to lead a campaign to close down the only place in the country trans youth received healthcare, it’s absolutely fine, nothing to see here.

A group of powerful national journalists choosing to single out the healthcare of a vulnerable minority for a campaign of intense laser-like scrutiny would, in an humane society, be described as an insane radicalised pogrom.
But on Normal Island, that's a Wednesday.

So now we have a confession that that the so-called ‘investigation’ into the Tavistock was nothing more than a way to get it shut down.
Trans kids have died since then, because they can no longer get the healthcare they need.
This is on you @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social

Very convenient to be able to shove the transphobia that got this girl killed under the carpet and blame phones instead and be able to deny any criticism like that
Maybe Esther doesn’t think its insulting, but its rubbing salt in the wound to the whole trans community

To remind you, Paul Givan unilaterally decided to order schools in NI to discriminate against trans kids because he couldn't be bothered waiting for the Equality Commission. Then he went on a trip to Israel.
The Assembly voted no confidence in Education Minister Paul Givan, yet he stays in post. Why? 🤷🏻♂️

There are two classes of political party in the North, those who can wield a veto, and those who cannot. That means there are two classes of voter, one whose representatives have this power and another whose representatives do not. Short thread:
