“Banning incest is not only about preventing birth defects; it’s to stop sexual abuse…if it’s acceptable for men to see their children, stepchildren & siblings as sexual partners then how & where can women & children be safe?” A🧵1/ Me ✍️ for @spectator
Taboos around incest are there for a reason

“Women are highly evolved to feel fear and discomfort in the presence of men they don’t trust in vulnerable situations. Forcing a woman to suppress that essential survival instinct to protect a man from hurty feelings is frankly barbaric.” 🧵 1/ gbnews.com/opinion/sandie… @GBNEWS

Now imagine this is a picture of Bill Gates with Keir Starmer, pledging support for the Labour Party. You are either for or against foreign interference in British politics. It can’t just depend on whether you agree with or like the individual billionaire concerned.

Angela Rayner has complex living arrangements as a result of her divorce and her son’s disability. She took professional financial advice, advice that a lawyer has now said was wrong. She is taking action to rectify the situation. Rayner should not be hounded out of office.

Today I’ll introduce a Bill in Parliament to give parents the legal right to see materials used in relationships & sex education lessons, and prohibit schools from using any externally produced teaching resources that are not available for public scrutiny.

Many in Britain are cheering as President Trump puts an end to the destructive wastefulness of ‘Diversity, Equity & Inclusion.’ But in the UK it’s going to be much tougher to loosen the grip of DEI—it’s been embedded in our law for nearly 20 years… 🧵 1/

15 years ago, no one would have supported the idea of allowing over 600 000 people to come to the UK each year from across the world. Wanting to reduce immigration is not ‘right wing’. It’s common sense, mainstream opinion. It would be odd if a potential Tory leader didn’t agree.

Are you a man who wants to sexually assault women and get away with it? Just slap on some lipstick and join the British Transport Police! Yet more evidence that the Gender Recognition Act should be repealed.

Reason to give up Chagos: * The legally non-binding advice of the ICJ Reasons not to give up Chagos: * Essential for national & international security * Extortionate cost * Chagossians against it * Mauritius has no legal claim * Details shrouded in secrecy What am I missing?

There is nothing more destabilising to society than to dismantle the legal, social and cultural guardrails that protect women and children, by pretending that people can change sex, and allowing that pretence to creep into law. Full speech youtu.be/smbVwVxE8ao @SexMattersOrg

MPs who vote for Assisted Suicide will do so knowing that vulnerable people will die, frightened people will be coerced, suicide rates—assisted & otherwise—will increase, doctor-patient trust will be undermined & the State will kill its own citizens. 🧵 1/
Imagine your frightened mother is given a terminal diagnosis and her doctor suggests ending her...

The welfare state has removed the link between effort and reward. Benefits are no longer a ‘safety net’ — they’re a tax on the conscientious to reward the idle. It’s not just unfair, it’s immoral.

With two parents on £50k, take-home pay is £79,000. After childcare and rent, they're left with £24,800. A family on benefits renting the same house would clear £30,000 after rent with no need for childcare. You are better off on benefits than on a household income of £100k.

Immigration is not a solution to low birth rates. Immigrants have below replacement birth rates, just like native Brits. Immigrants get old too, just like native Brits. Then you need more immigrants. It’s just a Ponzi scheme.
