The draft Conversion Practices Bill would silence therapists, harm children and divide families.
That is the warning of our new report, which is based on 30 in-depth interviews with mental-health professionals.

There’s already a mixed pond ( where you ID however you like) & a men’s pond. There is zero reason for males to be in the women’s pond or women’s changing rooms. Good luck @SexMattersOrg
Sex Matters is heading to the High Court on 3rd and 4th November.
We’re challenging the City of London Corporation’s decision to allow men who identify as women to use the Ladies’ Pond, including its changing rooms and showers.
The City has a lawful option: keep the Ladies’ Pond for women, the Men’s Pond for men and the Mixed Pond for both sexes. We’re asking the court to hold it to the law.

Dan Rather is spot-fucking-on.
Since Trump measures everything through the lens of ratings, I'm sure he'll be very proud when his livestreamed treason trial breaks the internet.
Alastair Campbell, "Steve Witkoff is a disgrace. Tens of thousands of Ukrainian children have been taken to Russia and Steve Witkoff calls Putin a humanitarian"
"The Americans (Trump) speak about Putin in a way which is diametrical to the way they speak about Zelenskyy"
"Trump has decided that this war has to end with Ukraine losing"
"Trump has contempt for Zelenskyy because he's a proper leader with values and integrity, and all the things Donald Trump doesn't stand for"
My view:
Witkoff calling Putin a humanitarian is bad enough. But it fits the way Trump’s team now talks about this war: praise for the man who invaded Ukraine, contempt for the leader defending it.
Trump says he wants the war to end. But if the price of that “peace” is Ukraine losing territory, security and its freedom to choose its own future, then it is not a fair settlement. It is rewarding aggression.
Zelenskyy is a leader fighting for his country’s survival. Trump’s hostility towards him says far more about Trump’s values than it does about Zelenskyy’s.

BREAKING: Mitt Romney Puts Zelenskyy Alongside Churchill and Washington as Trump Pushes Ukraine to Cave
Trump spent the week trying to strong-arm Ukraine into a deal with Putin, and Mitt Romney just answered him with a history lesson.
The former Republican senator and 2012 presidential nominee posted a short, cutting defense of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that spread across the internet within the hour.
“Churchill could have shortened WW2 by years if he had just ‘done a deal’ with Hitler,” Romney wrote. “George Washington could have done a deal to end the American Revolution. Zelenskyy is in good company.”
Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Anne Applebaum quickly reposted it, and the message pulled in roughly 140,000 views and nearly 8,000 likes in less than an hour.
Standing With Ukraine When It Counts
Romney’s post lands as the relationship between Washington and Kyiv hits a new low. Trump announced a deal on Oct. 9 to buy Russian diesel in an effort to bring down fuel prices before the midterms. Then over the weekend he attacked Zelenskyy directly, claiming the Ukrainian leader doesn’t want to end the war and probably never did.
Zelenskyy has said he believes steps have been taken to convince Ukraine to capitulate.
Romney’s point is simple. Leaders who refuse to surrender to invaders are not obstacles to peace. They are the reason freedom survives. Churchill refused to bargain with Hitler while bombs fell on London. Washington refused to trade away independence through years of brutal war. History remembers both as heroes.
A Republican Who Still Knows Who the Bad Guy Is
Romney has never wavered on Russia. In 2012 he called it America’s number one geopolitical foe and was mocked for it. More than a decade later, he has been proven right again and again.
While much of his party has gone quiet as Trump cozies up to the Kremlin, Romney refuses to pretend Putin is a partner for peace.
Trump keeps talking about deals. Romney is talking about history. And history has never been kind to the leaders who sold out the people fighting for their freedom.

I’ll stipulate that Trump is an agent of Putin.
Go down the checklist.
1. Destroyed the Western alliance? Putin wanted that.
2. Threatened a NATO ally over Greenland? Putin wanted that.
3. Pulled out of the intermediate nuclear pact? Putin wanted that.
4. Withdrawing 25-40,000 troops from Western Europe while Russian bellicosity is rising? Putin wanted that.
5. Russian satellites giving coordinates to Iranians killing our soldiers, and his response is “they kill us, we kill them”? What American president says that?
I think he’s been compromised.
The election of Donald Trump may be the greatest foreign policy success in post-Czarist Russian history.

It must be enormously liberating for @Jo_Coburn to be able to speak in her own voice as a panellist, rather than as an interviewer, about issues as important as this. #BBCLauraK
