I mean yeah you can do that with the addendum "because I am the biggest political brain so I know what is best for everyone and I'm actually helping them because the stupid lefty rabble couldn't win an election or run a country if they did" which I guess is less comically evil than the rubbing your hands together "haha I shall exploit the labour of campaigners to get rich" option, but has an identical outcome.

I get the impression that this is just a one off ruling and not a statute, but it'd be nice if some kind of press standards body decided to use the ruling to justify why this should always be the case.

Have they been told how to word it at all? I can imagine something along the lines of "ENEMIES OF THE PEOPLE FORCE MAIL APOLOGY" if they're given any leeway.

This one could hit them harder, though. Their readership would have been big fans of Hitler when the Mail supported him, but they are big fans of the Royals and this time the Mail are against them.

Why on earth do you think Daily Mail royalists like Meghan Markle?

They won't slither out of it, they'll print their one page and then go back to doing exactly what they were doing before.

Just like when they officially supported Hitler until the day before the war and then were legally obliged to stop for a few years.

But he came last in the leadership election, and the Greens then made a GenderGP Advisor head of their women's section. There's clearly a tussle going on, but so far it looks like he's losing.

I’ve been trying to help a fair few people who have been being advised by GenderGP. There’s a fair few issues involved as both of the Dr’s who run it are currently not able to practice in the UK and have set up a Spanish clinic to avoid that they are not allowed to practice in the UK.

The problems around writing scripts that patients can’t cash, and not checking on hormone levels through blood tests are just some of the crap I’ve had to deal with in the last few months from them.

Two of my mental health patients who are doing DIY transitioning had been informed to not tell me of this as well by GenderGP. Or so they have told me.

Complete clusterfuck so far.

The NHS service for GIDS needs a lot more professionals and money, but I don’t see GenderGP as a good alternative route.

Who do the melts replace Starmer with when he fails to make progress in the May elections? Jess Phillips is completely awful so is obviously the frontrunner, or Lisa Nandy? Rachel Reeves?

Looking at the shadow cabinet it just seems utterly bereft of any personality, with the notable exception of Emily Thornbury.

Yvette Cooper and Ed Miliband are apparently angling for the shadow chancellor job but are unlikely to get it, tbh

But there is not a clear successor by any means, made all the messier by the fact there is no "Starmerite" faction - if and when the PLP decides he needs to go (which I don't think will happen before 2024) it will happen very quickly and be a total melee.
