Five Siblings at 23 is my most personal book to date. It explores complex family relationships, family secrets, and managing relatives dealing with alcoholism and infidelity. It also reflects my life as a gay man, as well as my two decades of experience as a foster carer #books paulilett.co.uk

Holy hell, UK you do not want this. I have "good" insurance and I've got meds that run 2.3k per dose still. I've pissed out kidney stones at work because any ER visit will cost me 3k. I had a hospital send me home just to have a second one go "oh no, you're at risk for cascading organ failure."

Privately educated multi-millionaire Nigel Farage, caught on camera at a private political fund raisinger, being very clear about his plans to replace the NHS with a US-style insurance healthcare system (45,000 US citizens die each year due to lack of health insurance) #Reform are NOT your friends.

My favourite memory from my recent holiday to Gran Canaria was being on stage at a drag cabaret show, sitting on the lap on a drag queen, and being asked what I did for a living. I said I was head of PR for TESLA and was solidly booed by several hundred audience members. Superb!

I’ve been offline for a bit, but I’m just guessing that in the past 24 hours: 1. Rowling expressed another awful opinion 2. Trump did something monumentally stupid 3. Badenoch exercised the political judgement of a toddler

Badenoch’s vindictive nature is far greater than her political judgement. She should be appalled that two UK MPs - of any party - were detained and then deported from Israel. But she just couldn’t help herself, and chose to side with Israel because the MPs were Labour. An awful, awful human being.

And after last night's diabolical coverage of this story, the BBC should explain the same.

Paul Ilett @paulilett.bsky.social · 31/03/2025

I don’t know why I’m watching BBC news at ten. But its coverage of the Le Pen ruling is a disgrace. When will the BBC news team just give up the ghost and admit they’re no longer even pretending to be impartial. Its right wing bias is sickening.

Paul Ilett @paulilett.bsky.social · 31/03/2025

Prosecutors want Le Pen's punishment to include ineligibility from running for public office for five years. Crucially, they want the ineligibility to start straightaway – which would scupper her hopes of running for president in 2027. #MarineLePen

The gender critical movement is one of the most disproportionately resourced campaigns I've ever seen. And yet, after five years of ferocious GC activity, women and girls are no safer - the only measurable impact is a massive rise in hate crime and violent crime against trans and non-binary people.

DEI isn't about giving underqualified, poor performing colleagues pay rises and promotions just because they are a woman or from a minority group. DEI is about reducing the number of underqualified, poor performing colleagues who get pay rises and promotions just because they are a white man.

Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson says students must be "have their views challenged and be exposed to uncomfortable truths." So trans students, living away from home for the first time, should expect to have their very existence rejected by gender critical adults working at their university?

ANOTHER government review about trans people without a single trans person consulted. The BBC parroting the Government’s line without including a single opposing voice. Streeting accepting the recommendations in full because of course he is. I’m never voting Labour again. #TransRightsAreHumanRights

Streeting’s history of making decisions by “following the evidence” includes the removal of gender affirming health services for trans teens based solely on the internationally discredited Cass Review. Mental health conditions are overdiagnosed, Streeting says www.bbc.com/news/article...

Our 13yo does not attend a private school, but is learning guitar and piano, and regularly performs at music concerts. There are also services at his school to support children with SEN. I can only assume Alexander lives in an incredibly deprived area if none of his local schools offer similar.

Starmer: Confident, respected, centred and smart. Johnson: Isolated, shambling, scruffy. A joke. How satisfying that in this dangerous era, we have a Prime Minister who’s respected. And who’s not an idiot.

Fifteen years ago a friend in the US sent me a link to this video on Youtube. I had no idea what it was about, but he told me the three guys in the video were lip-syncing to a new TV show that was quickly gaining fans. What a perfect introduction to Glee! www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Lp3...
