Maya slowly getting her points across so the judge can get it all down 👏👏

What on earth has this got to do with Dr U in the Bathroom with the Candlestick?

I know I'm biased but I think her whole cross-examination of Maya Forstater has not gone well at all.

JR back on to using Mayas agriculture degree against her

I know she's only doing her job, but bloodyhell, this is low and desperate.

Eleflower? I like it.

JR is like Wile E Coyote.

Teeing up things that blow up in her face.

Yes.

JR is opening the door for Maya to drive a coach and horses through any point she is [poorly] trying to make

JR blah blah blah
Maya no I don't agree with the premise.

Sums up the whole thing today.

If you have an agricultural degree, you know the difference between a tup and a ewe.

I think she made that point earlier.

When the judge looks back JRs questions won't be in full in his notes. Mayas wonderful answers will be there word for sodding word.

Thanks for the updates all. Sounds like cross examining MF may have been a mistake. I’m not really sure why they decided to do it at all, but sounds like it’s good sunlight so I’m not mad about it!
edit for typo

My god JR is painful

MF - ... recognised by the government.
JR *swiftly moving on....

JR back to slurring sex matters as an organisation

Oh wow this is not well played by JR, everything seems to fall flat.

Or is that just my interpretation because I am biased?

I loved the clarity of Maya's answers there.

JR - TW are not in the same category as women
MF correct

Well they wouldn't be TRANS if they're in the same category? What would they be transing from? WTAF is she going on about.

MF "I can't disagree that some people think anything" :)

'Esteemed barrister'

RMW...

😂😂😂😂

RMW 😬

Hahahaha. SR bring up Robin Moira White and MF calling him a man. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!
