I've seen claims that Darren Grimes used a faked photograph in this blogpost, so I've decided to take a closer look, see if an elected official would be low enough to use a fake image to promote anti-immigrant sentiment (the answer will shock you!)

The “fair share” is a fantasy. Wealthy Southern councils sit in their leafy enclaves while County Durham is packed. Now whistleblower files reveal the truth Labour wanted buried!

The Times has been leaked the full EHRC guidance on trans people/single sex spaces, and what it mainly confirms is that for all the calls for immediate implementation, this is still a vast, largely unresolved ethical can of worms, and a job creation scheme for lawyers.
![The EHRC document states it is “a legitimate aim” to provide single-sex spaces for “ensuring the safety of women or the privacy and dignity of women and/or men”.
The guidance said that if transgender people are excluded from a space, organisations should consider whether there is a suitable alternative for them and that it would not be proportionate to leave them without essential services, such as access to lavatories.
But it also outlines how in some cases that may not be possible owing to the physical constraints of buildings or high costs. It said: “It may be that offering alternative arrangements is not reasonably possible […] this may be because of the type of service being provided, the needs of the service users, the physical constraints of any building, or because of the disproportionate financial costs associated with making those arrangements.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:fondzonhxhlrfp777gwvfmah/bafkreid2txt5re2in7zquojrpprocctbunz4kdyiz3qx7rgku55eyfdfqq@jpeg)

Some people don't believe that human epigenetics exist, but it turns out it's pretty universal - trees use similar things to remember problems they've experienced & suggest remedies.
That's one reason why intelligence is not an inherited characteristic in people.

What do trees remember?
Until recently, little was known about how memory functions in trees which experience decades, even centuries, of shifting environmental pressures.

At least it's honest, right? Intrusive questioning of women who don't conform to norms about how they should look, and women then being banned if they tell their inquisitor to mind his own sodding business, has always been the logical end point for the patriarchal project that is TERFdom.

We do need to take a hard look at just why Ffarij gets such an easy ride in the media.
And make sure that from now on, he faces the same level of sceptical questioning as any other politician.
That's called "impartiality" or "balance".

UK asylum seeker benefits are similar to European neighbours
No right to work before 12 months (it’s 6 months in France, Spain, Belgium, Netherlands)
UK settlement after 5 years (it’s 3 or 4 in Germany)
Let’s cut out the alarmist rhetoric.
