I have never met Keir Starmer (as far as I am aware) but I know a good number of people who know him well. My impression is of someone who is in politics for the right reasons … essentially to improve life for others. He doesn’t get everything right … 1/

@CartlandDavid 🤣🤣🤣

It's true, I did. And they called my PA, who laughed and turned to me and said 'you won't believe this. It's someone pretending to be from the Balmoral, saying you graffitied a bust.' And I had to say, 'oh yeah, I did do that, actually.'

A large number of people (mostly men, in my experience) who're sympathetic to some of women's opposition to gender identity ideology, nevertheless think it's cruel to point out that a trans-identified man looks like a man, and unkind not to 'respect' his pronouns. They think these are 'compromises' women should be prepared to make. 'What does it matter?' they say. 'How does it hurt you?' The psychological effects of being coerced, manipulated or pressured into doing something that is against a person's own beliefs or values are well known. 'Moral injury' occurs when a person is forced to betray deep-held convictions, or stand in silence while those convictions are being betrayed. The individual feels transgressed at a core level. The inevitable consequences are stress, anxiety and anger. Workplaces across the west have imposed a Kafkaesque situation on women. A belief system most people consider nonsensical, but which, in elite circles, has become almost a religion, has been imposed from on high. Women are being persecuted and punished for not pretending they think men can change sex. The policing of pronouns, and the harassment and shaming of women who won't pretend they can't recognise a man when they see one, is merely the tip of genderism's gigantic, threatening iceberg. Any man who seeks to force women to play along with the fantasy that he's female is engaging in a typically male power play. At worst, he will suffer narcissistic injury from her non-compliance, but that doesn't make him objectively vulnerable. The non-compliant woman, though, suffers lasting moral injury by being forced to participate daily in a lie - a lie, moreover, that constitutes a fundamental threat to her own rights to privacy, dignity and safety. It has been profoundly illuminating to see how many people - possibly because their own values spring, not from a place of rationality or true conviction, but from fashion and self-interest - see male narcissistic injury as so very much more worthy of compassion than the moral injuries suffered by women.

Don't you just adore the MP for Clacton who hates the EU but is happy to take a £73k a year pension from them; pays tax in Belgium not the UK; applied for a German passport after Brexit and wants to exit the ECHR which will take away human rights for all UK citizens. What a guy!

One day we will find out where the billions came from to push woke destructive agendas. I’m constantly astonished & saddened how science, fact, common sense & logic was ignored for unproven ideologies. Greed has a lot to answer for..

Obama just said what everyone’s thinking but too many are afraid to admit: If he had done even a fraction of what Trump’s doing—blacklisting press, punishing dissent, targeting student protestors—the outrage would’ve been deafening. But now? Silence. Because when the Constitution gets torched by someone in your tribe, suddenly principles are optional. This isn’t about policy anymore—it’s about power unchecked and hypocrisy on full display.

Survivors of Telford abuse crimes & the mums of two women murdered by boyfriends say of the Safeguarding Minister Jess Phillips that ‘no one in public life has done more to support victims and survivors and to advocate for their interests’ theguardian.com/politics/2025/…

The Conservative line seems to be: “you had 14 years in opposition, why is it taking you longer than six months to clean up our mess?” Well, it’ll take longer than six months, but the work is underway and we’ll get Britain on the road to recovery in 2025.

The vitriolic abuse directed at @jessphillips over the past few days is unwarranted and unacceptable. It is an example of the culture of abuse and intimidation that has become commonplace in our political discourse, disproportionately impacting women and people of colour. 🧵1/4

I stand with @jessphillips… National treasure 👍 Share if you agree.

Seems about right (via @TheWeek) …

NEVER FORGET - our collapsing economy, the dreadful state of our public services, the misery and poverty of millions, the severely reduced opportunities for our young and our being a worldwide pitied laughing stock are all because of the vanity and dishonesty of one man

Is there a touch of Theresa May in Keir Starmer? 👀 @BethRigby, @RuthDavidsonPC, and @HarrietHarman look at the similarities - and ask if Starmer is struggling to sell why he's on so many international trips. Hear the full chat here 👉podfollow.com/electoraldysfu…

New: Veterans ID cards have been approved by the Labour Government as valid voter ID. It is a disgrace that veterans were turned away from polling stations under the Conservatives. Proud of the change we are making 🌹
