I was a male nurse for twenty years. I never once felt upset at a patient’s refusal to allow me to attend to their intimate care needs. I always saw it as an issue of dignity and confidence. If you get upset at patients’ setting their own boundaries, then care isn’t for you.

But her intimate care, as she wanted, was always provided by other women. Not men, not even me, but other women she felt she could trust when she was at the most vulnerable it’s possible to be 10/

I was a nurse for 20+ years. Some women are comfortable with men providing their intimate care and others really aren’t. Boundaries need to be respected and it’s down to the person being cared for, not the carer (or anyone else), to set them. This shouldn’t be controversial.

A lot of these MPs are in their 30s and 40s. All had the privilege to represent their constituents and make a difference. A significant number seem to have pissed it all up the wall by becoming second rate culture warriors.

And was dropped by the PLO at the time of the Oslo peace accords as it was not compatible with either peace or a two state solution. It was adopted by Hamas in the late 1980s as a rhetorical statement to promote its charter, which called for the destruction of Israel.

The slogan "from the river to the sea" long predates Hamas. It was used as early as the 1960s, decades before Hamas was even founded, by Palestinians to call for a secular and democratic state.

It's not for me to judge whether Phillips fell short of some implied duty of care that she owes to Birbalsingh. But facts matter and I wanted to set them straight. Because twisting facts degrades the very nature of the national conversation, which Birbalsingh claims to want. /11

I agree totally. Apartheid must be smashed & the two state solution is nearly impossible (even if desirable for a number of reasons). The only realistic civilised solution is for a single secular state for all - with equal civil liberties independently of religion and ethnicity.
