Harry Potter author agreed with Kevin McKenna who wrote: “The proposed Conversion Practices Bill risks an authoritarian government usurping the role of parents in their children’s lives. It may also be the biggest threat to gay rights since Section 28.”

JK Rowling has attacked Labour’s trans conversion law for “usurping” the role of parents.
She also reshared a post on X that said the new legislation could also be a threat to gay rights.

Britain has been put on notice.
Thirteen American states, including Florida, Georgia and Ohio, have written to our ambassador in Washington threatening economic retaliation over Ed Miliband's sanctions on Israel. They accuse Britain of aligning itself "with the objectives of terrorist organizations".
I've read the letter, and the footnotes are even more alarming than the headline.
Twenty-one states already have laws barring contracts with companies that boycott Israel, or pulling public money out of them. The trade weapon the attorneys general cite is Section 301, the very provision Trump used to slap tariffs on China. And under a 1977 American law, a US company that obeys Britain's sanctions could end up breaking American law.
The best part? To make their case, they quote a British law back at us: the Protection of Trading Interests Act, passed by Margaret Thatcher's government to stop Washington bullying British firms.
Thatcher's Britain stood up to America to protect British business. Miliband's Britain has turned a large chunk of America against it.
Slow handclap, Ed.

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING REFORM HAS TO DO NEXT IS... stop falling out with *everyone* who says something they don't like OR is the bearer of bad news. Almost every week it crosses the road to pick unnecessary fights. I won't list all of the examples (tens upon tens spring to mind) but it was me in the summer, it was The Telegraph last week and it was @LordAshcroft this weekend. Reform is constantly warring with people and groups that it should be aiming to embrace (or at least occasionally partner with) rather than ostracise. That should be the aim if Reform’s leaders are at all serious about building a majority party and there are still plenty of reasons to see that possibility as a realistic one. Given the last nine hellish months Reform has endured it is quite something that a solid fifth of voters remain supportive. VERY supportive in my experience. At least as extraordinary is the continued failure of the Tory party to repair its reputation. Despite endless and ridiculously tribal cheerleading from Tory papers Badenoch is still attracting fewer supporters than Sunak and half of the UK’s seats remain no-go areas for the party. If Reform can look to make a few more friends rather than constantly see everyone as an enemy it can still be the main force on the British Right.

How long will the Iranian regime hang on? I remember when the question used to be asked about the North Korean government. The people suffer in the most inhumane ways. The regime not only survives but continues to kill and torture. In the case of Iran, the regime believes it is acting for Allah, the appearance of the 12th imam, etc. If it is not eliminated, if it survives, it will not be contained after President Trump leaves office, despite our Western mindset, elections, and isolationists. I believe the public is weary from the constant negotiations and the increase in gas prices (never as high as the Biden years), but that was not the single biggest issue in this election. I see the data. I will never convince the ideologues. So be it. There has not been sustained military action for half a year and no casualties during the same period either. That is not a typical war.
Arlington National Cemetery is filled with Americans who were killed by the Iranian regime and its proxies. They and thousands of others have lost their lives from the forever war against us. President Trump has had the courage to take them on. And history will praise him.
The issue the isolationists never answer is what they would do. Nothing? Get out, they say. The regime would certainly take over the Strait and drive up gas and oil prices. It would certainly continue building thousands of long-range ballistic missiles. It would finish the development of nuclear weapons with the help of China, Russia, and North Korea. Then what?

Thank you to @Telegraph for their strong campaign against the terrible #conversiontherapy Bill. And to these Labour colleagues for speaking out.
MPs urge Burnham to scrap trans bill

This is an evil bill that attacks fundamental civil rights upon which child safeguarding, parental rights, gay rights & freedom of thought are based. If the bill does become law, it must be openly defied, even if that means risking prison. /1
Labour MPs are in revolt against Andy Burnham’s conversion therapy law, saying it will criminalise parents. A number of ministers are said to have “grave concerns”.
telegraph.co.uk/politics/202…
With prison overcrowding, unprecedented lawlessness on our streets, shoplifting with impunity rife, child sex abuse imagery offenders almost always avoiding prison, we now see the threat of loving parents being thrown into prison for trying to protect their children from harm. /7

After Israeli jets and American B-2 bombers destroyed Iran’s nuclear reactors, Tehran struck back at Israel's Weizmann Institute destroying its cancer research unit, which Douglas Murray says 'tells us an awful lot' about the moral gap between Israel and its enemies.

Seattle (Nov. 5) — Trans and far-left radicals shut down the streets in an emergency protest against the voting outcome on a measure that would ban males from female school sports. Despite being an ultra-liberal state, Washington voters overwhelmingly approved the measure.
Leftists who opposed it ran a violent, hateful campaign where women and girls were targeted, and the liberal media spread vicious lies.

Imagine if back in April, instead of trying to do Art of the Deal with a Twelver Shia islamic death cult, the Trump Admin simply went for the final blow.
The war could have been finished by June and the world economy could have recovered by November.
Hesitancy is deadly.
