Clear-eyed analysis, and correctly identifies driving the 2019 purge of moderate MPs as the point of no return. Of 21 who lost the whip in Brexit battles, only one is standing as a candidate at next GE.

It's a good report: full version here. Unfortunately implementation of previous reports, like Dilnot, has been patchy at best. BBC needs to do better. bbc.co.uk/aboutthebbc/do…
@M_Sumption @MigObs As with the Dilnot review of tax/spending, the no. 1 problem isn't that specialist correspondents don't do good work - it's that when an issue becomes high profile it's covered by political correspondents through a Westminster village lens, eg as with Rwanda
BBC has now published it's "thematic review" of its coverage of migration by @M_Sumption of @MigObs . As with previous reviews (eg of economic issues) this is by far the most important point: "1. Cover the substance, not just the politics." bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/20…

I was really shocked to discover that the Murdoch papers and the Mirror titles carried on committing crimes for years after we thought they had stopped. So reckless, so sure that their power put them beyond the law (and they were mostly right). prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/media/ph…

Some adjustments to #EDI practice are very necessary but more importantly is for organisations to be a lot more alert to and sceptical of outside lobbyists who masqueraded as experts.

What I want (fwiw) from those now reverse ferreting all over the place is not (so much) public self flagellation but honest and maybe private reflection. It was a major and serious political error. *How* did you get this *so* wrong, for *so* long?
This is actual hate speech. Criminal incitement to violence, motivated by the victims' sex and beliefs. But funnily the proponents of arresting women for calling men with trans identities "men" are the ones doing it and cheering it on 🤷♀️

Sérieux de quel côté est la haine⁉️Menacer des femmes parce qu’elles affirment qu’être une femme est une réalité biologique, que SEULES les femmes ont leurs règles, sont enceintes, ont un utérus, etc. La fiction des uns n’a pas à être la réalité des autres.
« Une TERF, une balle » Ça ne dérange personne les menaces de mort contre les femmes sur le monument de La République à Paris⁉️Sûrement l’œuvre d’une « femme à pénis » ou d’une « personne à trou du devant » qui promeut la misogynie au nom de l’intersectionnalité. #Transmania
UK voters have firmly rejected the politics of cruelty & division so why does the BBC continue to silence so many moderate & deserving voices & amplify the extremism of MPs like #SuellaBraverman ? Such editorial choices feel like they’ve chosen a side .

The "new EU rules" only apply to Brits travelling via the Channel tunnel because of the form of Brexit that the Telegraph insisted upon
How did things go so wrong for the Channel Tunnel, asks Telegraph journalist. Y'know, longer queues, higher fares and what not. How how how did this happen? A mystery.
I guess we never met
@IndiaWilloughby I see lots of people disbelieving me...so I will rephrase. I personally have never, ever met a woman who has an issue with trans women in bathrooms. Obviously thanks to the cesspit that is twitter I know they exist (eg JKR), but most of us recognize you are vulnerable.
“You don’t want to be ill in this country. I don’t believe any other developed country is in this position.” Wife said her husband had been a good person, a family man,brilliant businessman.So what is the plan @RishiSunak asking for UK ? theguardian.com/society/articl…
4/END None of these people have PhDs in economics or have published any original research. In other words, they are all fakes. But they say they're economists because it helps them sound credible when, really, they're just bullshitting us for the benefit of their rich paymasters
3/4 And the ever-on-our screens @KateAndrs, formerly of the IEA, now the Spectator economic editor (here quoted in the Express in 2017), whose only economics qualification seems to be a masters in philosophy and international relations at St Andrews.
2/4 Which got me thinking about the qualifications of other so-called economists associated with the IEA, such as @CeeMacBee. x.com/RichardBentall…
@YouBrokeItMate @JMPSimor @CeeMacBee @LizWebsterSBF So, this is what MacBride says on her LinkedIn page. Look at the last line. Undergraduate degree of which only a part economics. No PhD and I can't find any peer-reviewed economics papers by her. She's a fake and has no basis for calling herself an economist.
1/4 🧵about fake economists. A strange thing just happened when I responded to the IEA's @cjsnowdon's claim that the NHS was awash with money. His wiki bio says that he did an undergrad degree in Lancs so I asked him to justify his claim to be an economist. Then he blocked me.

This language by journalists (some, some of the best in the business) referring to “the Muslim vote” is utterly vile. As if Muslims are all the same and aren’t able to care about more than one issue, and are they to blame for non Muslims caring about the same issues? Eg Gaza.
I was really shocked to discover that the Murdoch papers and the Mirror titles carried on committing crimes for years after we thought they had stopped. So reckless, so sure that their power put them beyond the law (and they were mostly right). prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/media/ph…
@JohnEdwards33 I’m not sure what reality you are living in, but it certainly not this one. Incorrect extrapolations, poor correlations, and simple falsehoods. But vote to keep the Tories in power, if you like. Sounds like you want to.
@Sorelle_Arduino @LyricHammer They do. This is a men's toilet repurposed to reflect the demands of gender ideology.
The thing with this issue is it’s highlighted for me the way certain politicians are willing to go along with cultish thinking which has no basis in reality. On top of that they were happy to attack the people who pointed this out. Are they stupid? Did they not engage with…
“It’s very simple: a man has a penis and a woman has a vagina.” Discourse over trans rights in Scotland has alienated voters, says Anas Sarwar, leader of the Scottish Labour Party. #TimesRadio | @KateEMcCann | @adamboultonTABB
Some adjustments to #EDI practice are very necessary but more importantly is for organisations to be a lot more alert to and sceptical of outside lobbyists who masqueraded as experts.
"Some worry that the advice they have taken on diversity could have misrepresented equality laws, placing little scrutiny on unaccredited external training providers." You don't say.... archive.ph/Xior0
There is something seriously wrong with people who, en masse, call for a woman's murder for writing a book. I increasingly worry that this violent impulse is a feature rather than a bug of this movement. People HAVE to call it out. On that 'side.' We hounded women have tried.
This is happening in France 🇫🇷: Hundreds of people are calling for my murder in Strasbourg because I argue that being a woman is not a feeling but a biological reality. « Dora Moutot at the bottom of the Rhin river » they’re saying. They're furious about the book I co-authored…
