Really impressed with the way Air France handled an impossibly tight connection between Schengen/non-Schengen flights today. I’d certainly use again for any flight involving EU to UK/US/Canada

Headline writers don’t always reflect article content, that’s true. But does she really think non-compliance is ‘performative’? If so, she hasn’t a clue.

Great to be back at Sofitel Gatwick with a runway view room

Adéu, València…

The stated aim of “reducing the risk of the provider being subject to litigation” is risible, of course. The guidance is now open to multiple challenges.

New from @goodlawproject.org on how it is challenging the Burnham government's trans-segregation and transphobic discrimination "guidance".

How the Code of Practice gets the law wrong | Good Law Project

We’re supporting a legal challenge against the government’s transphobic statutory guidance – here’s why

goodlawproject.org

It remains illegal to discriminate against trans people or anyone you think might be trans. Inter alia, we retain the human rights to privacy.

One of the most shameful pieces of quasi-legislation ever introduced in Europe

Some views of today’s impromptu tour of ecclesiastical buildings around Gandia, including the parish Church of Beniopa and the Colegio Esclavas Sagrado Corazón de Jesús in Benirredrá

This is an important post on the complexities of last week’s events in Ceuta, so readily harnessed by right-wing groups, including Reform and Vox, as well as by, more shamefully, the elected governments of Italy and France.

Typos used to irk me*. But I'm starting to find them reassuring when I grade student writing, since it means they might not have used AI. I also had the thought that we should bring back the anarchic spelling of the 1600s. English spelling doesn't make sense anyway. Take that, AI!

A class act.

Women’s rights are at risk — just not from a tiny trans minority

Far from being silenced, anti-trans views are currently among the most disproportionately platformed — shared by the world’s most powerful men
