Laughter in the Lords as Cabinet Office minister Lord True repeats for the benefit of peers what his colleague Michael Ellis told MPs earlier this afternoon in the standards in public life UQ. Even Baroness Evans, Leader of the House of Lords, seems to find it all a bit funny.
Apparently “Dr” and “woman” do not match on British airways. Looking forward to their reply.
I felt quite overdressed, #cycling across #Edinburgh and converging with the #nakedbikeride today.
Once a male has gone thru puberty there will always be a large retained performance advantage & bone structure. Why are we asking females to accept competing with a known disadvantage before we even start? Females are not men with less testosterone. Compete with your sex
Duh! Isn't it #commonknowledge that DRC is a large landlocked country? (If not, why not?) This is the kind of mistake that shouldn't have been possible, let alone not spotted.

How is May shaping up?

Demanding that a cyclist get out of your way on the road is like walking into a restaurant and demanding someone vacate a table for you.
Spot Keir Starmer out campaigning for a £15 minimum wage for workers in fast food restaurants. He seems to have forgotten all about that now.
Why is the @BBCr4today still calling Liz Truss the first female Foreign Secretary? That was Margaret Beckett! Put down the Tory press release and tell the truth!
How far have the Taliban actually advanced? Are they in Kent?
And once you relinquish road position by entering a cycle lane you then have to beg drivers to let you back in when the cycle lane inevitably disappears.

🚲 Our #HighlandExplorer carriages have arrived! They'll enter service on the West Highland Line between Oban & Glasgow Queen St on Monday 19 July. They can carry 20 bikes, including a limited number of tandems & have an e-bike charge socket. We can’t wait to welcome you aboard!
Spaces for cars, 1600 more of them, in the most congested part of #Edinburgh. @Edinburgh_CC will they pay parking tax and fund pothole repair to keep #cyclist s safe? #SpacesForPeople not #SUVs

Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions: These are not merely “clashes” between “sides” in a symmetrical “conflict” between two peoples. They are rather actions of conquest, political repression and dispossession on the part of Jewish Israelis icahd.org/2021/05/11/125…
