Can you give an actual example of where a man, never mind a world class athlete, has done what James has suggested? You say it is "going on these days and ruining women's sport" but I seem to have missed it.
The "none of the above" box getting a bigger vote share than possibly all the political parties, possible with an Assembly/Senedd election never having had 50% turnout, would be the biggest boost for those who want to abolish the Senedd

Not Drakeford but Vaughan Gething felt comfortable enough to say "what the f*** is Jennie on about" when a backbench colleague asked what was considered an awkward question. Yes he thought it was off camera but still revealing.

If ppl disagree with asylum so strongly they think they should protest, then why protest outside hotels housing people they no nothing about rather than the offices of government ministers who make the decisions? Because the true motivation is bullying and intimidating others.
