The EHRC guidance hinges on subjective term "discomfort of service users" to ban trans people from universal services. I asked Equalities Minister to ensure trans inclusive public spaces can continue, otherwise the draft code is unreasonable, unfair and unworkable #PrideMonth

I was at the Prime Minister's important statement on the Peter Mandelson scandal. Mistakes were made but the Tory party are all about faux outrage when they presided over scandal after scandal They even had no anti-corruption tsar after last one resigned following Boris blunders

In Bangladesh - lethal force has been used against defenceless students (many minors) - the last elections had no other major party candidates present - the web/ phone signals get turned on and off at will How can we trust the enquiry when the state controls every institution?

Here's me quizzing Tory Robbie Gibb on why his editorial standards committee wants more Reform on all shows despite it only having 5 MPs out of 650 No such concern for lefties #BBCbias by installing a GB News founder on BBC board with such a disproportionately outsized role

For the umpteenth time Culture, Media and Sport Committee I questioned BBC Director Tim Davie on #BBCQT and its right-wing political panel bias He: "let's take it outside" Me: "So you’re making it up as you go along." Licence fee payers MUST have accountability! See 171-179

I asked Robbie Gibb Culture, Media and Sport Committee of a culture of fear at BBC, his personal vendetta against Lewis Goodall and Emily Maitlis' claims of his undue influence and interference He feigned ignorance. Samir Shah whose @junipertv co got commissioned by Gibb at BBC agreed 100% How cosy!
