Can we all… For one second Put our differences aside And at least agree That the last time Farage promised us the world And we believed it …everything turned to shite.

"Brexit has ruined this country, and now the majority of Britons thinks so too." RT if you are that majority.

Unless this is sufficiently widely disseminated via social media, it will never gain traction. Few, if any, mainstream papers or news outlets will touch the subject.

In years to come we will look back at this crazy period of trying to force people to pretend men can become women & go into races against women because they simply say they feel like a woman as madness! Not to mention putting kids with healthy bodies on medication for life! I sincerely hope those pushing these agendas are remembered & made to pay for the damage! But sadly doubt it. Don’t sit by quietly not agreeing but saying nothing. That makes you part of the problem..

Jacob Rees-Mogg claims that nobody cares about #partygate anymore. The BBC say the documentary only makes people angry. The truth is it shows everyone what lying assholes the Conservatives are. So do you care? Feel free to RT to show that you do.

Mordaunt keeps saying Labour wants to return the UK to the disaster of the 1980s. I am finding this quite confusing. Because that was Thatcher’s heyday.

Always loved Sean Lock. RIP.

In London today… with thousands and thousands to call for the return of the UK into the EU after the Brexit disaster ! 🇬🇧 🇪🇺

She's a brilliant journalist. No question of that. @vicderbyshire holding the awful Jenrick to account ⏬️

There's 5 lies that trans-identified male Veronica Ivy utilizes in this clip about biological sex and sport. Let's break it down. 1. "Policing whether transgender women and intersex women are really female is built in racism." While there has been historical racism against black females, the recent push to ban specific intersex athletes from female sports is not due to racism, but because they are males with sex development disorders. A common example is Caster Semenya, a black male Olympic athlete with 5-alpha reductase deficiency who competes in the female category. Due to a deficiency in the hormone that finalizes the male's external genital development, 5-ARD results in male external genitalia that is underdeveloped, looking more female-like in an XY fetus, but the rest of the male development is normal. Because of this, baby boys who have 5-ARD are sometimes confused as girls. People with 5-ARD have normally functioning testes which produce male-levels of T that the body receives and masculinizes from, especially during puberty. Due to this masculinization of the body from testicular T across development, Caster Semenya went through male puberty and therefore has a typical male advantage over females. Any intersex athlete that has XY chromosomes, functioning testes, and functioning androgen receptors will have the male advantage over females. Thus, barring them from sports has nothing to do with their skin color, but rather because they are male. 2. "I am a female because all my identity records say I'm female." This is circular reasoning, which is an argument that returns to its beginning without proving anything. Just because government, medical, or sports-issued documents claim that Veronica Ivy is female does not mean he actually is female. 3. "I'm made of biological stuff so I'm a biological female as well." Category error. Other animals and plants are made of biological stuff too but you wouldn't claim you're a watermelon, would you? We're all made of biological material. That does not mean a male is actually a female. 4. "We don't know whether transwomen have an advantage over cis women." There has been decades of research on the immense physical advantages males have over females, and transwomen are almost always typical males with no sex development disorder. The strength difference between male and female bodies is vast. Equally trained males have 57% more grip strength,[1] 65% more leg strength,[2] 90% more total upper body strength,[3] and 162% more punch power.[4] To put these numbers in comparison, males are only 7% taller than females, yet on the population level we easily see the considerable height differences between them.[5] Percentages like 50-160% are therefore immense and have considerably less overlap between the sexes. But what about transwomen who suppress their testosterone? Do they retain an advantage? Yes. At baseline, depending on the sport, males have 10-50% advantage over an equally trained female. For transwomen on T suppression, their muscle mass/strength parameters (the main source of their advantage) only reduce 2-12%, even over the course of two years. This does not come close to eliminating the musculoskeletal advantages.[6] 5. "If transwomen have advantage, the advantage is irrelevant because we allow all kinds of competitive advantages within women's sport." The advantage is not irrelevant. We are comparing apples to oranges. Sport is about recognizing and rewarding exceptional abilities within similar categories. Even if we separate sport by height or weight categories, males will still dominate in those categories over females. Why? Because being male gives a giant boost to almost every physiological aspect of sport performance, even after all things are equal. For example, in weightlifting, a male will lift 30% more compared to an equally trained female of the same weight and height. Thus, letting males compete in female sport would not be rewarding exceptional abilities within females. It would reward being male. References: [1] Bohannon, R., et al. (2019).

HS2 was to cost £100 billion cut 30 mins off journey from London to Manchester. Unlikely to be finished. The LGV Paris to Bordeaux project cost €7.8 billion and has cut the journey time from 3h30 to 2 hours. It took 5 years to build. Bloody French eh

Public opinion in the UK has moved on now from simply “restoring mobility”, past “rejoin the single market” and it’s now clear the only path people will be content with is a full-on rejoin of the EU. The question now is how quickly can it happen? #rejoinEU #SaveFOM #Brexit

Quite astonishing… The first time I’ve ever been on a show and another panellist has simply refused to engage with me.

The brexity response to Stephen Fry’s truth bomb about Brexit being a catastrophe is to list all the supposed ‘benefits’ (trade deals, immigration, democracy). None of which work better for us. There’s NO improvement to our daily lives. Just damage. ‘We all know it in our bones.’
