story of British politics for the past decade is people getting what they want and then fucking *hating* it
Irony is the Conservative Party ought to be joining Steve Baker, Dan Hannan in a victory lap. Conventional wisdom in 2016 was that an FTA with India and accession to CPTPP were pipe-dreams. They won!

Labour were ahead by this point in the 2010-2015 cycle. And as we all know Ed Miliband went on to be triumphant in the following general election.

As in Tennessee, this ban does not apply to cis children, because the drugs themselves are not a safety hazard. The only thing at risk is a society’s discomfort with allowing young people to make their own decisions about their own bodies.
