Mr. Bland sitting with me, talking of my Lord Windsor’s being come home from Jamaica, unlooked-for; which makes us think that these young Lords are not fit to do any service abroad.

THIS - cis people, if you're going to talk about The Tavistock, make sure you listen to trans people and our supporters first about what it was actually like.
What’s worse is that there are grounds for a scandal:
A scandal about delay, care that was massively behind what was clinical indicated and justified and all the trans kids harmed by the invasive and creepy processes.
The exact opposite of what we got.

Matthew Goodwin says the key question for a Reform government is how to be more like the Trump second term than the first term. This is a vg example of the tug-of-war of the radicalised right trying to ensure Reform does not try to normalise/moderate towards swing voter & median British public

Two weeks ago, Peter Mandelson told us he had no recollection of planning to buy a £2m apartment in Rio via a Panama holding company and a Brazilian company.
Yesterday we found notarised incorporation documents for the Brazilian company, with Mr Mandelson's signature.

We're also examining the trial of John Frost 1794, who was tried for treason for saying "No King" in a London coffee house.
I've taught this module for so many years, and it never ceases to be ever more relevant to contemporary events.

I don't know how to function in a world that is so continuously cruel.
Where so many will celebrate this pointless, pointless harm. This will devastate a tiny minority. It will benefit no-one.
So many across our country will comply with this violence. So many others will stand silent.

But while there are more men than women, they talked about valuing church as a space for faith in Christ and also for sharing emotions⚓️ 1/4
