Mad cocker spaniel looking after old, bald guy . Scottish not British. Tax does NOT fund spending of currency-issuing govts #LearnMMT #bemorespaniel
I love how he says this as if it wasn’t the same thing every single anti-public purpose MP has been saying for decades. And just as in the case of the many who came before him, he is wrong.
Britain needs brutal, brutal cuts - right across the board. It is the ONLY way to avoid absolute economic catastrophe. We are BROKE. It won’t win many votes, but it’s the grim truth. Afuera on olympic-busting steroids.
My humble advice is that to break with neoliberalism for good this party should be strongly rooted in the realities of our monetary system. Make the rentier the main antagonist, and untangle ordinary people from their stake on predatory capitalism.

“They’ve got virtually no choice but to shut the welfare state down” This is not true. And it is not a progressive thing to say. Austerity is always Always ALWAYS a choice.
If the government keeps losing its wealth the welfare state is over. On @LBC just now.
A large number of people (mostly men, in my experience) who're sympathetic to some of women's opposition to gender identity ideology, nevertheless think it's cruel to point out that a trans-identified man looks like a man, and unkind not to 'respect' his pronouns. They think…
2 days after I posted this, and it is more true than ever. The longer this tribunal runs, the worse it gets for @nhsfife. And still shameful silence from @JohnSwinney.
The number of professional reputations being trashed in the Sandie Peggie tribunal, as cosy ideology meets the cold light of exposure to truth, is quite staggering.
Immediate reflections on today’s events at the Sandie Peggie tribunal. I’ve now been ‘in the room’ and have witnessed first hand the so-called clever people like doctors and lawyers inexplicably blind to their hypocritical double standards. They will bend over backwards to…
The witnesses for NHS Fife are not opening a window on an anomalous, eccentric corner of the Scottish public sphere. The same sort of people, attitudes and behaviours are in the driving seat across lots of institutions, not least in the Scottish Government./
Charlotte Elves is preforming one of the best cross examinations I have ever seen.
Remember that tense moment in April 1970 when the commander of Apollo 13 said, "Houston, we've had a problem”? An exploding oxygen tank 210,000 miles from Earth placed the Apollo crew in peril. Woman of the Day electrical and aerospace engineer Judith Love Cohen of New York who…
Never in my wildest nightmares could I have imagined that *any* clinician, never mind an ED consultant would claim that they were not *an expert* at correctly identifying the most basic of observable objective clinical data. This evidence is an utter humiliation of medicine,…
@tribunaltweets Saluti, please find the unroll here: threadreaderapp.com/thread/1947656… Enjoy :) 🤖
So yesterday I had a minor op with a long wait before being admitted for surgery (all good). In the waiting area with a woman who asked what I was reading - I was obvs glued to @tribunaltweets and tried to explain what the hearing was about. She looked shocked and then she told…
Day 6 | PM Session | Peggie v NHS Fife & Dr Upton 🧨Weaponising Narrative: From Fabricated Logs to Hate Reports It began with an email. On 29 December 2023, just hours after a fraught exchange in the women’s changing room, Dr. Kate Searle sent a message to every consultant in…
Interesting how both Isla Bumba and Kate Searle relied on Google to provide them with advice on the law relating to single sex changing rooms. I wonder what their views are on people googling their symptoms and relying on that for medical advice.
Just another day of lunacy in the Scottish courts. Dr Kate Searle, a consultant in emergency medicine, says she knows she's female because it says so on her birth certificate, but she personally isn't an expert on recognising a baby's sex. 1/3
Back in February, Jane Russell KC accused Naomi Cunningham KC of looking for electronic evidence that "simply isn’t there". Today we found out it was there. Nurse Peggie's barrister found it.
Judgment in the case of Peter Wilkins v @dstlmod finally published. It is quite a read. assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/687e55f1…
Enough’s enough. The latest developments in the Sandie Peggie case mean that there can no longer be any public confidence in @nhsfife - the Chief Executive & the Board must go, now. If they won’t go willingly, then @JohnSwinney must stop hiding, take responsibility, & sack them.
Never forget: women can't know for sure they're women unless they've had their chromosomes checked, but if a man says he's a woman he's definitely a woman and it is highly offensive to mention his chromosomes, which are entirely irrelevant to whether or not a person is a woman.
