Our analysis of the UK Conversion Practices bill remains the same. It is insufficient and, in fact, if passed in its current form it would actively damage the fight against conversion practices. The Scottish Government must proceed with its own far more comprehensive and well-designed bill.

to not mention people’s horrible bigotry after their death is disrespectful to them & their bigotry, as they fervently held those beliefs in life & weren’t ashamed to be bigots
Sad to see people posting on social media negatively about Rod Liddle, who died yesterday. If I have disagreed with you very strongly in life - and you die - I hope I'll be either silent, or kind.

Lovely piece in the Irish Times. “Comedian Jimmy Cricket asked for the last rites twice, “almost like he asked for an encore”, before his death at the age of 80, his son, Fr Frankie Mulgrew, has said.” www.irishtimes.com/culture/2026...

Shame on Amnesty. Transphobia should have lost four out of four today.
They lost the first High Court judgement today (police searches) and they also lost the NI festival case
Sorry we tried to stand up for trans people, we won’t do it again, Gender Criticalism is normal stuff actually

This is absolutely appalling and showing a capitulation by Amnesty to the anti trans lobby. Is there any organisation left that will stand up for us?
Smart of Monica Lennon to launch her leadership campaign before the SEC decide rules which might exclude her (based upon dates of being an MSP).

Wanted to make cornbread but it’s too hot for the oven. Planned on using the air fryer but my eyes landed on the waffle maker as I was getting the recipe out and I have accidentally created the best cornbread I’ve ever had
