During @LibDems conference I also spoke on the defending democracy motion. I highlighted the fact that Orwellian denial of basic reality undermines faith in democracy, including when politicians do not speak honestly about basic facts such as female biology. See 👇

This is not a culture war. It is a reality war.
There are those of us who know that sex is real and an important category that sometimes needs to be recognised to protect people on the basis of sex.
And there are those who believe that identifying as a gender should allow someone to override the boundaries and rights of people of the opposite sex. In practice, this particularly affects women: their privacy, dignity, boundaries and safeguards.
You cannot make women’s single-sex spaces inclusive of males and simultaneously claim they remain single-sex.
It is unfair that women have to keep fighting for boundaries and protections that already exist in law. And we believe it is also unfair to transgender people to keep promising that the answer is simply to change the law so that those boundaries disappear.
The law should not be changed to achieve that.
What is needed is truthfulness and respect: people can identify as they wish, but we need to be honest about the limitations of gender identity when it comes to other people’s sex-based rights, boundaries and single-sex spaces. telegraph.co.uk/politics/202…

.@MrTCHarris:
“At some point in the last 10 years, the parties of the Left, alongside the trade union movement, collectively decided that the fight for women’s sex-based rights should be abandoned to the Right.”
"The Lib Dems’ trans madness is a symptom of the Left’s cowardice
Only the Conservatives and Reform can be relied upon to uphold women’s rights
There is a danger that we draw the wrong conclusions from the Liberal Democrats’ decision to champion trans demands over women’s rights ...
On the face of it, it feels like an own goal"

Words of former Secretary General of NATO and former Prime Minister of Denmark
I have always admired the United States.
As Prime Minister and Secretary General, I considered America the leader of the free world. But following the threats to Greenland, I must now conclude that enough is enough. Europe must defend its interests.

Danish parliamentarian Rasmus Jarlov reacts to Stephen Miller’s Greenland comments: ‘I hope he’s kept away from young women, because that’s the mentality of a rapist. You can’t defend yourself, so I’m going to take you. That’s basically what he’s saying.’

🚨 WATCH: Keir Starmer responds to Donald Trump and says "alliances matter because they are built on respect and partnership, not pressure"
"The use of tariffs against allies is completely wrong. It's not the right way to resolve differences"
anglo danish journalist retweeted
If Trump seizes Greenland from Denmark, does that mean that all Americans will be entitled to:
Free healthcare with no deductibles?
A free college education?
52 weeks of paid parental leave?
5 weeks of paid vacation?
Because that’s what everyone in Denmark and Greenland has.

The Ukrainian President appeared touched as Starmer pointed out cheers from the crowds gathered outside as the president's motorcade approached Downing Street.
