Def the most uplifting, exciting bit of tv for years, not 'cos it entertains (tho' it made me laugh & cry equally), but 'cos of the fab transformation in these teens' lives & the hope it inspires. Well done #Flintoff & team #ECBfunding? #Blackpool #Preston #Liverpool #Manchester

We have heard their voices very loudly for well over a decade. Their voice has said: 'Women must be erased in law and they should lose all rights to spaces and resources of their own. There must be no word for the class of female people that excludes males, they should not be allowed to analyse the oppression of female people as a class, and they must not be allowed a politics only for them which centres them and does not prioritise male people's feelings. Anyone who disagrees with this will be called a bigot and a nazi and we will go out of our way to destroy their lives.'
🏳️‍⚧️ I attended today’s Trans+ Solidarity briefing in Parliament. 🗣️ Trans voices must be heard. Their rights are being debated, yet too often they’re left out of the discussion. 🤝 I’m proud to stand with the trans community in the fight for dignity, equality and inclusion.

(2) When the nurses first went public with their story, Karen was afraid and was struggling with her health and confidence. “The support from the public, the other nurses and Christian Concern has got me through”, she said. “I couldn’t have done it on my own. The other nurses are like sisters to me, and we are in this together. “I have always been worried about telling my children. But recently I decided it was time. I said to them: ‘do you know the anonymous nurse in the Darlington legal case? That’s me.’ “They wished I had told them sooner and about what I have been through. My daughter is following the Darlington Nursing Union on X and my experiences are helping her to know what to do if anything was ever to happen to her. I wish I had told them sooner, but I was afraid and how do you find the words? “I am telling my story now because it feels right. I am aghast at how the Trust has ignored what I have been through and placed gender identity ideology above a woman who has experienced child abuse at the hands of a man. “Institutions pushing this ideology need to understand what many women are carrying around with them. We cannot ‘compromise’ or ‘be more inclusive.’ We shouldn’t have to be brave and go through the courts and have our livelihoods threatened. “I found my voice. It was taken away from me as a child. We are survivors, not victims, and our voices need to be heard to help and inspire other people. “I would encourage other women, whether you are working in the NHS, the police, or wherever: don’t suffer in silence. Don’t allow this dangerous ideology to make you believe you have done something wrong. Raise your voice and don’t be afraid. “I looked @wesstreeting in the eye and told him my story. Why can’t he do his job and change the policy and help, not only me, but all of the Darlington nurses, and women across the country, urgently?” Find out more on the story on our website: christianconcern.com/ccpress… mailchi.mp/christianconcern/…

An influential Islamist group's rally drew thousands to the streets of Bangladeshi capital, Dhaka, last Saturday. They beat effigies of women to show opposition to government proposals that include equal inheritance rights for women & a ban on polygamy.

As a lawyer I am deeply concerned to see an elected politician publicly undermining the separation of powers in our democracy with irresponsible and entirely false allegations of bigotry and hatred against the judiciary. Disgraceful.
The Deputy Convener of the Equalities Committee, @MaggieChapman, said yesterday afternoon in Aberdeen that she sees “bigotry, prejudice and hatred” coming from the @UKSupremeCourt. Extraordinary. #WomenAreWatching @ForWomenScot @TessWhite4NE @AshReganMSP @PamGosalMSP

🧵(1) BREAKING: CHRISTIAN NURSE TAKES LEGAL ACTION AFTER BEING INVESTIGATED BY NHS FOR CALLING 6FT TRANSGENDER PAEDOPHILE 'Mr' The convicted paedophile, ‘Mr X’, is in a high security male prison after multiple convictions for luring boys into sex acts while pretending to be a teenage girl on social media. After refusing to refer to Mr X as a ‘she’ while on duty, Jennifer Melle was racially abused and physically threatened. Instead of supporting her, however, Epsom and St Helier University Hospital Trust has abandoned Jennifer and treated her like the criminal. The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) has also said Jennifer is ‘a potential risk’ for not using Mr X’s preferred ‘gender identity.’ The story is the latest in a series of cases where NHS policy supports trans ideology over biological reality. It also follows the publication of the Sullivan report this week which revealed that the police are allowing criminals to ‘self-identify’ their gender on official records. In this case, policy has led, in the name of inclusivity, to the NHS siding with a paedophile convicted of serious offences, while pretending to be the opposite sex, over members of staff with Christian and gender-critical beliefs. Supported by the Christian Legal Centre, the case Jennifer has now launched against the Trust on the grounds of harassment, discrimination and human rights’ breaches, is believed to be unprecedented. In response to her claims, NHS lawyers have said that Christian beliefs Mis holds, that we are born male and female, are ‘not worthy of respect in a democratic society.’ Watch Jennifer discuss what happened and see more on our website: christianconcern.com/ccpress…

Hi @AffinityWater, I spoke to someone at Aff recently re taking over proerty with no residents, no kitchen. Used max 300L in 3 months. Have got a bill based on communal meter saying we have used 85,000L. Something very wrong. How to escalate?

But Christianity is not just a useful lifeboat for stranded intellectuals. If it isn’t literally true, it isn’t valuable. Whether Jesus Christ actually rose from the dead matters. It mattered to St Paul. ‘If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.’ And it should matter to us. C.S. Lewis wrote: ‘If you read history, you will find that the Christians who did the most for the present world were just those who thought most of the next.’ The impact of Christianity on the West is intrinsically linked to the living faith of those who established its institutions and values. If people hadn’t actually believed in the Christian promise of redemption and if they hadn’t been able to hope in the face of death, they wouldn’t have had the courage to change the world in Jesus’s name.

The number of men who don't see women as fully human can be measured by their indifference to trans-identified males invading women's spaces. 'What's the harm?' they shrug. 'Who's it hurting?' Women. It's hurting women. And the essence of misogyny is thinking that doesn't count.

@RoyalMailHelp I got this today. I would love to know how and why it took 2 days for my Tracked 48 parcel to get from Luton to Milton Keynes, which is 30 minutes up the M1.
