The BBC is already giving Nigel Farage coverage for a speech he hasn’t even delivered. Report on what he says tomorrow, by all means. But previewing it now gives him free publicity and lets him set the agenda before anyone can scrutinise his words.

All executions are barbaric. The primary difference with a public execution is that the barbarism is made obvious. Mankind cannot bear that reality.

This whole thing has always fallen apart at this hurdle. Either a trans woman being in a women's bathroom is INHERENTLY unsafe, which fuck off no it's not but also how would you screen for that? OR Unsafe behaviour in a women's bathroom is unsafe, which is true but not trans specific.

This is agonizing to watch. "If someone is behaving in an unsafe way and there are repeated complaints from customers" ... Yeah? How is this a trans specific thing? Is the implication that if I'm making men feel unsafe in a men's room and they complain, that's not actionable because I'm CIS?

Perspective view of a young woman reading a letter c. 1670, by Samuel Dirksz van Hoogstraten, Dutch Baroque artist, pupil of Rembrandt, born #OTD 1627. He was known for experimental perspective views of interiors, with light & shadow defining architectural space and mood. ALT Mauritshuis, den Haag

A fashionable silk-gowned young woman reads a letter in an affluent Italianate entrance hall, while her King Charles spaniel protectively bars the spectator from entering. The space is defined by steps leading to a garden portico, with classical columns and statues on plinths, with access to a tree-lined path and a glimpse of a town house. The more private space behind her is revealed by a wrought-iron stair leading to a windowed room, with suggestion of a town house view.
