Prof Dame Harries testimony was the most illuminating of the week so far Bear in mind, Johnson only needed a handful of scientists to agree with his callous “take it on the chin” response The Inquiry seems to ask whether Harries was one of them 1/n

Some fascinating social history brought to life for you today: I have enhanced this amazing autochrome portrait of Lady Abala Bose (1865–1951), a renowned Indian social worker and feminist, photographed in colour over a century ago by George Knight, on Thursday 15th July 1920.
10 years ago, the NHS was scored by experts as the best health system in the world. Today, it ranks worst in Europe. An intentional Tory destruction of the NHS to push people to private health care. Nurses are striking to save the NHS. Tories want to sack them for striking.

@DreyfusJames Yes. Yes we absolutely have, here’s a list of our rights that are effectively taken away by the intrusion of men.
@SomeAreDead @DreyfusJames I think girls had it easier. Many of us were allowed to cross traditional boundaries. I do wonder whether our grandmothers’ wartime experiences of taking on male roles had alot to do with that.
@DreyfusJames Oh I so wanted a scalextric, my brother had one that he wouldn't let me play with. I got a dolly that you could feed with a bottle then squeeze to make it wee. I figured out it made a good water pistol, nature will out.
@DreyfusJames Well said! This also reminded me of a funny incident when I was working in a toy store. A customer phoned to ask if a stuffed zebra baby toy we sold came in “girl colours, like pink & purple.” I blinked hard then said “Well, no, it comes in zebra colours - black & white.”
When I was a kid, I had a Raggedy Andy print above my bed, spelt out with the letters to my name , JAMIE. In red. Not blue. Not pink. Red. I also had a small wicker basket with my toys & dressing up clothes, which consisted of both men & women’s clothes, which I used regularly…

.@jk_rowling's carefully phrased definition of “woman” is correct. The gamete-size definition is soundly based in evolutionary theory and has no exceptions – among humans, mammals, vertebrates, animals generally. And she’s right about beetroot. x.com/jk_rowling/sta…

The Cass Report was admirably clear on how the research had been graded. The only people who got this wrong are those who didn't actually read it, & relied instead on online peddlers of misinformation. MPs should remember who gives them accurate briefings, and who doesn't
In early analyses of the Cass Review it was unclear how and why research had been graded, and the consequent impact this would have on the report's recommendations and implementation. We are grateful to Dr Cass for taking the time to clarify that both 'high' and 'moderate'…
I hope this is the start of a reverse ferret by a number of foolish irresponsible politicians on #CassReport. We’ve just had a labour MP apologising in House of Commons for misrepresenting Dr Cass’s methodology. Very welcome
