Ninth novel The Three Graces, about 3 eighty-year-old friends in Tuscany out in paperback now.
A Rose Tremain endorsement is coming too, but hugely grateful for these from Andrew O’Hagan, @LissaKEvans Penelope Lively for The Three Graces
The worst consequences of these insane policies are always suffered by those with less power, money and status. Searle and Bumba aren't stripping off or dealing with menstrual issues with Upton present, but pride themselves on the fact that they forced other women to do so.
Enjoying The Veil starring Elizabeth Moss as an MI6 agent trying to reel in a suspected female ISIS terrorist @Channel4 - good script lots of action and two strong female leads.
Fascinating programme @BBCFour_ with the sublime Helen Mirren on behind the scenes at Gosford Park, one of the best films of the late 20th century.
When Sandie Peggie was forced to get undressed in front of a male colleague, her trade union betrayed her. Instead of standing for her rights, it branded her a bigot. Trans activism has totally corrupted the unions, says Joanna Williams buff.ly/VRvYwWe
Correct: one of the grimmest aspects of this case is how easily these middle-class luxury-belief doctors engaged in appalling treatment of a nurse because their crazy belief system (that men are literally women if they only say so) enabled them to unfairly malign her as a bigot.
The Sandie Peggie employment tribunal is currently exposing, as perhaps no court case to date has, the issue of class as it relates to the top-down imposition of gender identity ideology in the workplace. 'Diversity officer' Isla Bumba has now admitted in court that she didn't…
HR let Dr Upton edit the notes of his interview - notes that were produced from the recording of the interview (the recording is destroyed)😱😱😱 They had a Teams meeting to edit the original notes of his interview (no minutes were taken) #SandiePeggie
Everyone on the board of NHS Fife, everyone in the HR and A&E depts at Victoria Hospital, along with Jane Russell KC, needs to read Unkind by Victoria Smith.
Gazer review — a mesmerising Coppola-inspired thriller thetimes.com/article/2630f0…
Do we have to bear all this semi-nudity? Just cover up! thetimes.com/article/e338ba… Hard agree! The worst at present are those overjoyed by losing weight on Ozempic/mounjaro, who think they can bare their aged flesh because it has lost fat.
Case of nurse Sandie Peggie and the trans doctor is dystopian farce thetimes.com/article/ba6130… Brilliant AlanMassie
This is breathtakingly inappropriate. Children shouldn't be groomed into thinking it's their job to accompany adult strangers into toilets - most especially when by definition it is about accompanying an adult of the opposite sex into facilities they're not supposed to be in 1/2
A 'non-binary' BBC presenter has launched a project in which she distributes badges, saying 'Safe With Me', in schools, for children to wear in public places. They will signify to any 'trans people' nearby that the child will escort them to a toilet swlondoner.co.uk/news/23072025-…
The extravagant Daphne du Maurier, author of classic novels like Rebecca and The Birds, inspired Alfred Hitchcock to create two timeless films based on her works.
This 💯. This case shames our country. When it is over the fools and charlatans who imposed this ludicrous ideology from the top down need to be held accountable.

Scientist forced out over gender beliefs wins two-year legal battle – The Free Speech Union. Surely at some point the penny will drop with these organisations & they will have to stop breaking the law? freespeechunion.org/scientist-forc…
Struck by how often Kate Searle referenced kindness and compassion (her own and Upton’s) and how little was shown to Sandie Peggie. Indeed when she asked for kindness from Upton, he reported her.
Gender therapists are telling trans women that they can be lesbians if they transition. Lies. Cruel lies. Lesbians are same-sex-attracted. Trans women remain male regardless of medical treatments. I cannot opt out of being a lesbian & no male can opt in. Lesbians don’t consent.
And once again @BBCWomansHour we have a report on #Gaza. Can you just stop repeating hysterical uncontextualised propaganda? It's extraordinary that this programme ignored the rape of Israeli women on Oct 7th & yet seems unable to stop talking abt a non-genocide in a foreign war.
Shameful, yes.
Some things are binary. You are either Team Peggie or Team Upton. And most of our politicians chose to be Upton. thetimes.com/article/ba6130…
It isn't just NHS Fife. A culture allergic to dissent, willing to cover up, circle the wagons, fail to disclose. When things go badly, cast 'isms', because well off, never impoverished, well paid middle class liberal progressives know all about identity privilege and oppressions.
