Two things in regards to Wes Streeting

1 When in Parliament I want to see Starmer stand up and defend Streeting and say why.

2 At PM's Q Time I would like to see an MP stand up and ask Starmer what he is going to do about the MPs who seem far too keen on seeing children grow up to be adults with pre pubescent bodies.

The continuation of the ban on puberty blockers is great news, what is required now is a law to ban treating minors with anything other than psychological help.

Sadly Barry I don't think it's as simple as stopping teaching about this in schools. The internet has made sticking this particular genie back in the bottle an impossibility. I would suggest a better way of limiting the effect would be to regulate and licence any clinic offering treatments to adults with an appointed regulator with the power to remove and disbar any clinic or practitioner who breaches the rules .

The solution is teaching kids it’s nonsense. In schools,

But labour are ideologues so no hope of sense or reality.

I’ve sent you a list of captured organisations, submitting objections to the change of advice to schools, in Dusty’s update; many of them are supposed to support safeguarding. 😤😡🤬

I was shocked, not just at the sheer number of captured orgs but their supposed raison d’etre of safeguarding. Wes is definitely up against a bloody army of gender woo.

I’m concerned about him too. He’s come out with a couple of statements which imply that he thinks that it’s possible that puberty blockers may be safe until proven otherwise….that we don’t have enough info yet. And that’s utter claptrap.

Has he read the Cass Review? Either way, he needs more support from his own party or, better still, cross-party support.

Support from his own Party seems unlikely so let’s hope he has the strength of character to stay strong. He’s certainly shifted from a few years ago.

That’s what Cass says though in a nutshell isn’t it? We need some Guinea pigs in a test

I agree, Barry . I am concerned at the pressure from TRAS such as Stonewall, captured organisations and lunatic backbenchers putting pressure on Mr Streeting, Ms Phillipson and others.

Labour have no plans to change the trajectory

Doesn’t anyone see what this is? Get Wes in to stop the train for 6 years but then accelerate it under the two traitors who are women and equalities ministers? Women falling for this are as daft as brushes.

Remember the start of the downfall of Britain as we know it was under Labour - propelled by their equality act which acts against indigenous people and the gender recognition act which acts against women.
