For reference, this is less than the new Manchester United stadium is expected to cost.

Jim would like all of your skritches please.
I'm sat on a sofa taking the picture. A black greyhound has his long snout in my lap demanding to be scratched and admired. It has worked, he deserves the admiration.

Family parkrun stats this weekend: 5 runners 3 counties 2 continents 1 first timer I had by far the wettest run, as you can see.

The coverage of the Welsh gender surgery cancellations is some of the most appalling and degrading reporting on trans health this year. Every mainstream editor, clearly tickled at the decision, is going out of their way to add wholly irrelevant sections debasing patients’ bodies to a surreal degree.

The GCs remove the space from "trans woman" because they think this shows that it is like "jellyfish": a compound noun that is not a kind of fish. But blackbirds are birds and red pandas are not pandas. English grammar is not going to do their transphobia for them.

Labour seems to have internalised the Supreme Court judgment as though it was a damning referendum loss that saw the public reject its position, rather than a plainly incorrect reading of a single point of law

About this time 15 years ago I was sat in a broken down car on a motorway slip road on the way to a hospital to donate bone marrow to a stranger. I didn't find out until afterwards she was 4 years old.

The Scottish Parliament has voted in favour of the first part of a ban on Greyhound racing. Both of ours are ex racers, both wonderful and loving dogs. They love to run, they shouldn't be forced to for gambling.
Two greyhounds refusing to leave the house. Both have large fur lined coats on and look unimpressed at the weather.

Most people we hear of leaving the BBC do so either in scandal or for a paycheck. To see it done for principle warms my heart. Having seen, listened to and read plenty of his I can safely say you'll not regret seeing him speak if you get the chance in the future.

We're watching the wholesale burning of every scrap of dignity afforded to trans people in the UK, their rights, their medical services, their employment, their place within society, their bodily functions. It is a disgrace, and a disgusting stain on the government and media of this country.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

NOTHING will prepare you for this 45-second story arc. From "I'm just doing this because I love the flag, it's totally grassroots, and I'm not part of anything political"... to who actually gave him the flags the night before. Anyone who believes it is an innocent movement needs to see this.

Just for a second, take a step back, and remember that these are the actions of a 56 year old man towards a 17 year old girl.
He and Brooks met at a Battle of Ideas conference on 19 October when the scriptwriter “approached her with his phone, recording her and calling her a groomer, and asking how many she had groomed”, the prosecution said.

Brooks subsequently called out to Linehan outside the venue and asked him why he had called her a “domestic terrorist”.

Julia Faure Walker, for the prosecution, said: “At this point Mr Linehan could’ve explained why he had called her a domestic terrorist, if indeed he had an explanation, or even ignored her … rather he responded in a way which is indicative of his extreme personal animosity towards her.

“He said ‘go away groomer’, ‘go away you disgusting incel’. He called her a ‘sissy porn-watching scumbag’… He deliberately whacked the phone out of Ms Brooks’s hand.”
