The Hidden Deputy

I attended @andysmanclubuk a couple of years ago after my Dad died. One evening, a bloke came in shaking like a shitting dog. He cried for ten minutes and then told us how his wife made him sleep on the floor. She refused to let him have a phone and took all his wages, and left…

Let’s make this absolutely clear, shall we? If, say, you’re a gay man, it’s MEN you’re attracted to. Not just to the physical anatomy, but to the very essence of what it means to be MALE. You can be attracted to a million different things about a person; the way they walk,…

It’s this kind of thing that annoys me. As a gay man I am interested in men. Not women pretending to be men. And @JohnJamesNI is right - anyone refusing to cross their own sexual boundary, as is their right, will be vilified as a transphobe. Sickening.

A 🧵about signs. What do I mean by this sign excludes all men? I mean the sign itself is discriminatory.

Well said! Starmer is a follower of fads and not a leader!

Labour had a chance to admit they got it wrong. Instead, Keir Starmer told Bridget Phillipson to gaslight the Commons with a shameless rewrite of history — pretending Labour had always been on the side of women. Nobody bought it. They claimed the govt accepts the Supreme Court…

If you support single sex spaces for women that include bathrooms, changing rooms & sports please Rt & like. I firmly believe biological females have that right, to personal dignity & fair sport in the Uk but across the whole world. I’m prepared to stand up & be counted. Are you?

It's half term, which means I have a copy of Primary Reading Simplified to give away. Simply *retweet* this tweet for your chance to win. I will choose a winner at random this Saturday (22nd February).

'Why should I, as a female, be forced to get undressed in front of a male?' Watch as @MichelleDewbs silences Political Commentator, Samuel Sweek, for dodging questions about trans-women in female only spaces.

NEW: JD Vance continuously shuts down CBS News’ Margaret Brennan after she kept arguing in favor of illegal immigration. I could watch this all day. Vance: We absolutely cannot unleash thousands of unvetted people into our country. Brennan: These people are vetted. Vance:…

‘We need a total culture change’: the UK teacher told to work 60-hour week or leave after having baby theguardian.com/education/2024…

‘Students who behave terribly get suspended, and also do less well at school.’ It would be astonishing if this weren’t the case. It’s not the suspension that causes the lower outcomes, it’s the disruptive behaviour that causes both. I can’t believe a conclusion as incoherent as…

Clearly has no idea what it is really like for teachers at all! You deal with all the paperwork, behaviour and all the rubbish thrown at us by Ofsted, the government and parents - and still have to work at night and weekends to ensure that you are able to keep up with it all.

If pensioners who get 12k per year are considered too well off to receive the winter fuel allowance, shouldn't MP's on 96k per year be considered too rich to receive housing, heating, travel, and meal subsidies?

Totally agrees with this in regards to non-binary.

I'm genuinely confused by the confusion. I said clockwise from top left, which means 'whatever' applies to 'non-binary is valid.' I'm indifferent to people calling themselves non-binary, as long as it's not used to justify men entering women's reserved spaces, but to me,…

This is exactly what teachers and leaders needed to hear. Thanks @bphillipsonMP 👏🎉👏
