Happy #InternationalWomensDay to the pale stale male surgeon who told me as a second year medical student that I'd never make it as a doctor when I asked to leave early to pick up my daughter from the university crèche.
I think I proved him wrong. Still a Dr 36 years later.

The Daily Mail has never been pro-British- it has always been pro-fascist.

The Daily Mail is owned by the 4th Viscount Rothermere, passed on from 3rd, 2nd & 1st Viscounts. It’s been a tool of hereditary power & privilege undermining our democracy.

Musk & Trump excite them to take their mask off.

Elon Musk displaying zero class here - and has the filter and credulity of a young teenager…

…or alternatively knows exactly what he is doing, which goes well beyond trolling into deliberate endangerment.

Nigel Farage (& friends) has ALWAYS promoted the exact kind of sexism that meant the child rape victims were ignored in Rotherham and Rochdale...

But he's still trying to blame brown people.

This is racism at the expense of grooming gangs victims.

He is not joking.

He does not have normal boundaries between fantasy and reality.

He is absolutely a danger to the sovereignty of allies.

Brexit was a test run for politicians telling lies, it carried on without consequence

Now social media companies are removing fact checkers

What's the point of an Online Safety Act if it doesn't require platforms to filter out lies?

Today Conservative MPs will seek to block a piece of legislation that will actually help protect vulnerable children from abuse, in order to gain a few retweets from a far-right billionaire.

Word of the day is a favourite for this time of year. To be ‘crambazzled’, in old Yorkshire dialect, is to be prematurely aged by excess drinking or partying.

I got a text to the studio today whilst we were discussing Gisèle Pelocot & I’m paraphrasing but it basically went like this -

‘OMG stop moaning about women’s woes all the time. Men are killing themselves because of you. You should be grateful for us because we take out your bins. Merry Christmas’.
