I saw a post earlier that tom swarbrick was on This Morning with vanessa feltz discussing recent news ,including the case of the transwoman convicted of rape .
I downloaded it on stv catch up and its not there , can anyone with itv catch up see if its on that .
Stv news barely reported it at all yesterday and didnt report it at all on the late news , so just wondering are stv deliberately suppressing bad news if its about trans

I don't know but I was delighted to hear it as the top story on Forth One while I was driving home.

Took objection to the 'committed when she was living as a man' description though.

Not what you're looking for I'm afraid but Tom gave a big speech in the afternoon on lbc.

Basically, "you're all so open minded your brains fell out" kind of thing.

I'm a tad worried though as I'm sure I saw someone post a screen shot of buckets of money given by the Scottish gov to news outlets and papers - which then makes you wonder if there is any sway.

@WarriorN i saw that one , was curious to see how vanessa feltz would spin it as she is very twaw , when discussing transwoman in sports , her response was be kind as tw are the most marginalised and sports is important .
So i wanted to see if she will finally condemn

STV covered it more fully in the late news, including an infuriating interview with a woman from the SPS.

Useful summary from STV here.
