RIP John Edward William d’Ancona CB (May 28, 1935-June 24, 2019). Beloved husband, father, grandfather, public servant, footballer, and patriot. He played for Newcastle and rose to the heights of Whitehall. But love of family came first. There was nobody like you, Dad. Thank you.
Off to put my life in the hands of a rock’n’roll band…..
🥰 Lovely.

This is such a ludicrous economic error. Let’s say we spent £8bn on Indian TV sets. Yes they would have the £8bn. But we would have the TV sets. And if we didn’t want the TV sets as much as they wanted the £8bn they wouldn’t have the £8bn and we wouldn’t have the TV sets.
The UK has an £8bn trade deficit with India - that’s £8bn leaving the UK each year. This deal does nothing to address the imbalance & will flood Britain with even more cheap Indian imports. More free trade is simply unfair trade for Britain & British workers.
We'll be seeing a lot more of these court cases yet... because so many institutions have facilitated or stood by while women who know it's not possible to change sex have been bullied and hounded by gender ideologues in the workplace.

At the #sandiepeggietribunal in Dundee with two solid gold heroines, Sandie & Roz Adams. Never underestimate the strain this process has. We are grateful for their courage.
Important development in Peggie v NHS Fife - a note that male doctor Dr Upton claimed was contemporaneous was actually altered later to include an alleged patient safety incident involving Sandie Peggie, the nurse suspended as a result of his complaints. heraldscotland.com/news/25341258.…
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…

This is disgustingly sexist of Labour MP Tim Roca. He should lose the @UKLabour whip over this - or is the party happy to tolerate this sort of misogynist? telegraph.co.uk/gift/471023ef9…
