The SNP could have fought the judgement and won but threw us under the bus. So yes I do blame the SNP

Unless you're trans in which case piss off? I think that's your current stance on it.

The EHRC has written to the Minister for Women and Equalities, demanding that she rushes through their dreadful draft Code of Practice.

This is a bizarre intervention from a supposedly impartial public body.

Just got a call from a lovely but very nervous Dr, who advised I wouldn't be routinely screened for breast cancer because I'm not indicated as being "biologically female" on the central NHS database and my biology wouldn't indicate I'm at risk.

My records have been altered, which is upsetting.

Trump and his sycophants desperately trying to get him a Nobel Prize feels exactly like when parents give their spoiled brat a new expensive toy every time it's another kid's birthday, or he'll be an absolute nightmare.

Many on the right will try and belittle and undermine what’s happening.

But here’s the truth. Tens of thousands are joining Greens. Polls are at record highs. People are just starting to feel hope again.

Given the competing self interests of Polanski (make a fairer more sustainable world to live in) and Spectator owner multimillionaire Marshall (avoid paying taxes on hoarded wealth), I’m going to go with Polanski

Zack Polanski @zackpolanski.bsky.social · 1d

The Spectator (owned by GBNews owner Paul Marshall - estimated wealth of £800 million) doesn’t like taxing wealth fairly.

I wonder how they got to this editorial decision?

Let’s tax wealth fairly, fund front line services & make hope normal again.

Polanski is talking nonsense about wealth taxes.

How did the party conference season affect party leader popularity?

Lib Dems and Greens (Sir Ed Davey and Zack Polanski respectively) seeing the biggest improvement in this regard.

Whilst Labour's, Keir Starmer, his the least popular and that remains unchanged.

And the popularity of leaders, compared to a week ago:

Kemi Badenoch -33 - up from -35;
Sir Keir Starmer -50 - unchanged;
Sir Ed Davey -7 - up from -15;
Nigel Farage -36 - up from -37;
Zack Polanski -9, up from -16.

Some thoughts on Zach Polanski turning out to be rather good at this politics lark.

1. By raising issues like wealth tax, and Brexit, he has not so much shifted the Overton Window, as re-opened the awkward loo window that over-looked the garden, but has been rusted shut for the last decade

Women don’t come as ugly as as you. Go use the men’s, mate. There’s only one way to enforce the transgender supreme court judgement. Are you sure you pass the appearance test?

The Council of Europe has warned that the UK gov’s treatment of trans people may breach human rights law.

This must be a wake up call.

We’ve seen an increase in hostility towards trans in recent years.

Everyone deserves dignity, safety, & respect - that includes trans people.
