So tell me everything is not about me. But what if it is?
I am COMPLETELY shocked: the Wall Street Journal has named Good Girls one of its top 10 books of the year! Thank you so much to the WSJ editors and to @slsatel for the original brilliant review. You have honestly made my year wsj.com/arts-culture/b…
An absolute thrill as always to speak with @HadleyFreeman, this for The Jewish Angle from @TheCJN thecjn.ca/opinion/why-is…
I honestly thought I was beyond being shocked by the abject garbage that comes out of James O'Brien's mouth. Apparently not. I and most of my family went to Hebrew school and guess what we learned there? Hebrew. Breaking news! You can be horrified by Gaza and not be antisemitic!
This is simply untrue. Every detail is wrong and the allegations are antisemitic. How can it have been aired?
What is so depressing for those of us who work in diversity to do the basics - remove blocks to talent and combine difference to enhance organisations - are tarred with the same brush as these busy fools who undermine our core purpose of achieving fairness.
This week's @thetimes column is about NHS Fife, which surely tolled the bell for the diversity officer, a job made for these times thetimes.com/comment/column…
Hello, I have added to The Gregg Wallace discourse. Just putting the zillions of hours I’ve spent watching Masterchef to use ‘Authentic’ Gregg Wallace cooks up some MasterGuff thetimes.com/article/420f66…
I’ll be on @BBCr4today in a talk, talking about the Salt Path furore
Stephen Ireland, who targeted me with endless abuse on here because I oppose the chemical castration of children and the removal of protected spaces for women and girls, has just been sentenced to 30 years in jail for child rape.
The more that comes out about what happened at Nova - a music festival - the more I wonder about the comprehension levels of people in this country who go to a music festival wearing keffiyehs and waving Palestine flags
NEW REPORT OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE ON OCTOBER 7: “Many of the witnesses we spoke to talk of the victims being shot and the terrorists still trying to rape a dead body.” New, previously unheard testimonies of sexual violence committed by Hamas will be published next Tuesday in the…
Today’s @thetimes column is about Sean Combs and what Me Too got right and wrong The Sean Combs verdict is all about timing thetimes.com/article/7ee319…
For the crime of writing a book about feminism, the brilliant @SusannaRustin has been repeatedly deplatformed and slammed as a bigot, most recently in Poland susannarustin.substack.com/p/the-pride-an…
I guess I'm naive but it is a constant shock to me that pretty much all the media coverage about surrogacy focuses on the desires of the adults who want a baby, rather than the woman who gestates, carries, gives birth and then has to give up the baby
Perfectly put. Well worth a read
Today’s @thetimes column: the British left has lost its mind over abortion, and women will pay the price thetimes.com/article/62f8a8…
Brilliant (as ever) by @HadleyFreeman, including on the 🤡🤡 partnership of Stella Creasy MP and Jolyon 'Angry Dad' Maugham KC. "Abortion overreach will backfire on women" @thetimes

I've thought for several years that Stella Creasy was a publicity-chasing nightmare, but her deranged effort to make herself the queen of progressives by politicising abortion (and taking a position too radical for Bpas!!) really is beyond unherd.com/2025/06/stella…
If you read the two versions of this article, The Guardian has done quite a big edit & omitted some salient details The author cross dresses & chooses women’s spaces ‘Not out of genuine fear of violence’ but to escape ‘smirks’ theguardian.com/commentisfree/… open.substack.com/pub/lettersfro…
