Does anyone genuinely believe over 300,000 more people become disabled each year? Disabled enough to never be able to work again? So disabled that they will need benefits for life?

Utter insanity. How have we got to a place where women doctors refuse to say men can’t get pregnant?

What an extraordinary exchange. Senator Josh @HawleyMO asks a medical doctor if men can get pregnant. She won’t answer the question but starts hemming and hawing about how “complex” it is and how Sen. Hawley is being divisive. She’s a doctor!



Hey @emirates how about a direct flight route to Langkawi? It’s lovely here!

If you claim to support human rights yet can’t bring yourself to show solidarity with those fighting for their liberty in Iran, you’ve revealed yourself. You don’t give a damn about people being oppressed and brutalised so long as it’s being done by the enemies of your enemies.

The UAE has cut funding for students who want to study in the UK. It is worried they will be radicalised on our campuses. Let me say that again. An Arab state will not send its kids to the UK because it is worried we will turn them into Islamic terrorists. Let that sink in.
