Interesting piece from ITV on government legislation on gay and trans conversion therapy. Seems the government is moving towards legislation and will include gender identity (if they can define it), it remains to be seen what form this will take.

Metro's take is triumphant but I think we should watch this space.

Surely the Cass Report needs to be taken into account here? The parts about gender being often fluid under 25? The parts about social transitioning not being without consequence?

This feels never ending.

By Paul Brand eh? Does he have a hotline to No.10 in the same way Iain Anderson does? Yea, ok then. Watch this space indeed.

Johnson and co put the brakes on and seemed to realise the issues.

Wtf is the matter with Sunak?

It’s understood that Downing Street has been surprised by the level of cross-party support - including from within the Conservative Party - for a total ban.

Ffs. I can only assume they think this is a quick win on TRSOH and they haven't looked into it properly.

I cannot believe we are just watching this scandal unfold.
