It is so unspeakably cruel that the state will list Brianna Ghey as a boy on her death certificate.
A Gender Recognition Certificate is not a passport to spaces - you don't need one for that. What it allows for is basic dignity on documents like marriage or death certificates.
Detectives have arrested two teenagers following the death of 16-year-old Brianna Ghey in Warrington.
A 15y/o boy and a 15y/o girl, both from the local area, have been arrested on suspicion of murder. They are currently in custody assisting police with their investigation. (1/6)
Let me get this straight… the Taoiseach of Ireland is saying a small developed tech-centred island off the coast of a larger country it used to be part of - should be subsumed into that country without regard to the wishes of its people?
I’m 23 years old. I like pubs. I feel safe. I’ll probably go to a pub.
If you are a lot older, don’t like pubs, or don’t feel safe then don’t choose go to one.
Common sense. Not hard.
After three amazing years at
@GuidoFawkes
where I have learned so much and helped break some huge stories it's time for a new challenge.
I'm thrilled to be able to announce I am off to
@GBNEWS
as Political Correspondent. Honoured to be joining such a high calibre, exciting team!
This sweet innocent transgender girl was not a threat to women or girls.
It was the girl who wasn't transgender who turned out to be the deadly threat.
A mob marching on the palace under the flag of a foreign power to attempt to remove the Prime Minister and cancel the largest vote in our history.
Remind me again which side is supposed to be the coup?
"The double standards here are extraordinary and need to be exposed."
Watch me take on the media reaction to Dominic Cummings on
@BBCBreakfast
this morning👇
Japan is quite close to China
Canada is close to America
No one expects that those independent countries be forced to ‘dynamically align’ with rules set by their neighbour.
The EU’s stance is so plainly hostile. Domestic apologists for it need to look themselves in the mirror.
Morning everyone!
For those of you who missed it, here’s the lowdown:
-Boris won a stonking majority
-He won a higher vote share than even Tony Blair ever managed
-Labour had its worst result since 1935
-Conservatives had their best result since Thatcher
-Corbyn will resign
Does anyone seriously believe Corbyn's claim that US food is somehow maggot infested and poisonous, but Romanian /Bulgarian food is the pinnacle of cleanliness?
Every poll conducted has shown more people support Boris’ new deal than oppose it.
Every poll now shows a substantive Tory lead.
Has there ever in modern history been a time when the House of Commons was more out of touch with the actual country than it is today?
Volunteers cleaning vandalised memorial on Whitehall berated by a small group of protesters.
Thankfully in London abusive clashes have been low - this sort of thing seems to be the exception rather than the rule.
Think it is important we don’t forget that the United Kingom was the first country in the world to permenantly ban slavery.
Until Wilberforce, almost every society known to man engaged in the barbaric inhuman unjustifiable practice of treating individuals as property.
Absolutely sick to the back teeth of so called liberal twitter regurgitating the CCP’s line that any criticism of the Communist government of China is racist.
This global pandemic would not be the crisis it is today without the oppression, cover-ups, & lies of the Chinese state.
just a note to twitter re: Phillip Schofield.
even if you think it is, saying something like 'I always knew anyway' is not a nice or supportive thing to say.
Neil has basically forced Corbyn to admit taxes would go up for ordinary working people on low incomes.
This has blown a massive hole in Labour's entire strategy.
It was always based on lies.

Sarah, mate, got a genuine offer for you.
If the polls are right and the Tories win - and then in five years and eighteen days the NHS has been abolished, I'll literally give you everything I own.
If it hasn't been, you pay me £100.
Deal?
NHS staff are telling people, even begging people not to vote Conservative because the NHS will not last another 5 years under the Tories. So why are people who rely on the NHS still going to vote for the Tories when they can’t afford private healthcare?
I already take home barely half my wage.
And my landlord takes most of what’s left.
Still, politicians block development and raise taxes. It’s like they want to drive my generation into the dirt.
Why do we always call it 'Scottish independence' from the UK, but 'British Exit' from the EU?
We never hear 'British independence' from the EU or 'Scottish exit' from the UK.
Surely broadcasters should have some consistency on this?
If someone is wearing culturally significant clothing that is clearly from somewhere other than the place they are at that moment, is it wrong to ask that person where they are from?

Why’s no one talking about how successfully the curve was flattened?
Months ago everyone worried our health system would be overloaded - the argument was we should spread out the cases so we don’t breach health service capacity.
Capacity was never breached. That was a success.
Good on Keir Starmer calling out Rishi Sunak's anti-trans jibe while Brianna Ghey's mother while sitting in the public gallery above.
What an ill advised comment from the Prime Minister.

Peterborough rally for the Brexit Party.
When was the last time British politics saw something like this??
Astonishing. They’re doing three rallies a week!
total dick move of Bettel to stage a hostile presser without a decent exclusion zone with his pro-EU fan club whooping every utterance.
the opposite of diplomacy. total staged hostility.
this isn't a press conference it's a campaign rally.
If Gladstone is up for grabs, just about anyone born before the second half of the last century is about to be unpersoned. This is hysteria. It needs to be called out by all reasonable people.
The Centre for Identifying Digital Hate identified 105 instagram accounts that directed racial abuse against Rashford, Saka, and Sancho.
BBC Newsnight analysed the location of these accounts. Of those they could identify 59 outside the UK, and just 5 within the UK.
Still yet to hear any explanation as to why Starmer and Rayner's lockdown drinks are particularly different to Rishi Sunak turning up for a meeting and singing happy birthday first.
why do I get the feeling that when we leave the EU and the world doesn't end, a lot of Remainers on here will be deeply angry that the world hasn't ended...
India landed a rover on the moon for $75m.
The *planning application alone* for the Lower Thames Crossing cost the British government *four and a half times that*.
John McDonnell has spent today rubbishing the IFS.
The IFS are saying Labour's sums don't add up & working people would have to be taxed to plug the gap.
McDonnell is saying the IFS isn't credible.
Interesting, because he cites them on 17 occasions in his manifesto 'costings'.
Corbyn can't say if he'd take out the leader of ISIS.
ISIS.
An organisation that throws gays off rooftops, burns 'heretics' in cages, and slaughters journalists and aid workers in cold blood.

It's pretty mad that anyone can just walk into a polling station on election days, say the name of someone who lives in the area, and be given a ballot paper without a single check.
Just one week since Tony Abbott joined the board of trade and we already have a shiny new British trade deal with the worlds third largest economy! Wow! 💫
I have a feeling that because the person in question is a liberal BBC type and the newspaper that highlighted this all is The Sun… we are getting some very different reactions to this story from different quarters than we would had this been a Tory MP exposed by the guardian.
If a nation from another continent were embroiled in a political crisis where a referendum result was ignored, and the politicians were refusing the people an election we’d say it were a failed state. This is a remarkable turn in British politics.
A £15 minimum wage is £31,200 a year.
I’ve lived on considerably less than that. The idea no one should earn below that threshold is *bonkers* and business-destroying.
The only people around my age I know who have been able to buy a house are those who have not had to pay rent.
Stuck forking out a third to half your income on rent? You're stuffed.
No other generation had to put up with this.
"An ideology that sees my blackness as victimhood... I want to be absolutely clear that this Government stands unequivocally against Critical Race Theory."
@KemiBadenoch
smashing it out the park.
Not every nurse in the NHS is a socialist political activist.
Why do so many broadcasters only seem able to interview the tiny minority who are?
Can only assume that unions are making life easy for producers by offering their political spokespeople up. Bad service for viewers.
Tell me this isn't the most frustrating thing you've ever seen.
We're burying most of this train line for literally no reason at all. Ballooning costs, just so people don't have to look at a train in a flat field.
Jeremy Corbyn's entire campaign is based on one big lie about the NHS and yet all those oh so moral lefty crusaders 'against lying in politics' for the last three years have nought to say about it.
It's almost as if they don't give single a shit about lying in politics.
If it’s true that electric vehicles will be far cheaper than non electric vehicles by 2030 as Ed Miliband says, then why would we need a ban?
Any rational consumer would buy an electric car.
UNICEF took £25,000 from the mouths of starving people in the global south to spend it on a political publicity stunt here in the fifth richest country in the world. Foul.
