When 'The Right Honourable' (they put that bit in writing just in case we might doubt it) Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood's dad arrived in this country from Kashmir in the early 1970s, did he speak English to A Level standard? Did her mum when she arrived a decade later? Where are the certificates?

So according to the guidance 'trans' women can be banned from single sex spaces if a business decides they don't look like women. Tell me what happens to CIS women who don't conform to stereotypes of what women look like? Will there be genitalia inspections? How does that 'protect' women?

Six pro-Palestine prisoners are on hunger strike across UK prisons.
Their demands: the right to a fair trial, freedom from censorship, and the deproscription of Palestine Action.
They’re being punished for standing against genocide.
Their struggle is one of conscience — and solidarity. 🇵🇸

The Mayor of London has told me in public just now he supports scrapping the two child benefit cap - when the Chancellor can afford to do so.
I asked him if he'd support a wealth tax on assets - and he refused to answer the question.
