Nicholas Winton was overwhelmed. When I went to interview him before the programme, he was surprised anyone was interested in what he'd done 45 years previously. So all the children he'd saved standing up around him was just astonishing. He couldn't believe it.

Citizenship should never have been allowed to become a conditional and impermanent gift from the state to the individual. It is a permanent status, universal and equal to all that have it, that brings obligations of care and protection *from* the state as well as to it.

There are two ways to sort this - perhaps BOTH need to be implemented. By far the best is to introduce short primary legislation to restore the position of trans people in the Equality Act. The second is to recognise that the promotion of womens’ (or anyone’s) rights is a matter for all.

A personal story about that phrase “young men of fighting age” applied to asylum seekers. As many of you know I took in a young Ukrainian woman under the Homes for Ukraine scheme. As part of that process, soon after she arrived we were visited by the local authority rep and a Fire Brigade rep.

Ironically there are “legitimate concerns” you could have about warehousing the unfortunate asylum seekers on a rural military base - it’s not suitable accommodation and will do nothing for their wellbeing or integration or the local community- but acting as if they’re a danger is gutter racism.

What the Conservative's did today was outrageous and I am pleased that they were roundly defeated. This was third reading on the Financial Services & Markets Bill. We normally only tidy up at this stage. The Conservatives forced a vote to try and defeat government concessions which were agreed.

NEW Why holding a placard is a terrorist act, while causing disruption in a balaclava is not The mess caused by ministers and the police not taking terrorism law seriously By me at @prospectmagazine.co.uk www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/law/th...

Recent events in England now reveal the practical difference between terrorists and protesters. It would seem that terrorists peacefully hold placards and get immediately arrested, while protesters wear black uniforms and balaclavas and disrupt infrastructure and do not get arrested.

How did we get into this mess? How have we placed ourselves in the position where terrorism legislation is used to detain and prosecute peaceful protesters, while those adopting the terror tactics of private armies seem to be free to do as they wish?

The reason is that for some time British politicians have not taken terrorism legislation seriously, and that ministers have got into the habit of misusing terror laws for easy targets.

For anyone in need of a pick-me-up, here is a dose of the good stuff:

Screenshot of Grauniad’s Politics Live blog with the headline:
“Met police launch investigation into claims Reform UK officials plotted to break electoral donations law”

Body text is:
“The Metropolitan police are going to launch a formal investigation into claims that Reform UK plotted to break the law on party donations on the basis of what was revealed by the undercover investigation shown on Channel 4, Fiona Hamilton from the Times reports.

BREAKING Met police announces investigation into Reform donations following undercover sting broadcast last week.

If "legitimate concerns" were considered to excuse illegitimate methods, then nobody from Just Stop Oil or Palestine Action would have been arrested. So we know it doesn't. In fact that phrase is only ever used in one context. Only in that context is uniformed mob intimidation "peaceful protest"

The polling company JL Partners is unwilling to follow the rules, so should not be in the polling council. Also the Telegraph appears to have lied about the provenance of the poll it published. Even if they didn't know that Reform commissioned it, it was dishonest to suggest it was a Telegraph poll.
