Sending people to a country where they will be tortured is not "consequences", it is deliberate cruelty and a fundamental breach of human rights.
Your approval of the Home Secretary's decision to send people to be tortured is wholly incompatible with your Christian beliefs, @JeanetElisa, and a very poor witness.
To make people stateless, thus exposing them to torture and imprisonment without any means of defence, is incompatible with Christian values.
I note that one of the signatories to the letter is an aid worker who was stripped of his citizenship because he was on trial in another country for terrorist activities. He was eventually acquitted. But the Home Secretary has not restored his citizenship.
Why are you not campaigning for his citizenship to be restored, @JeanetElisa? He is an innocent man. Surely a Christian would want justice for the innocent?

The stated primary purpose is to obtain a "general understanding of the nature of the gatherings, including attendance, the setting and the purpose". So there's not much for her to investigate, is there?
Also, Sue Gray is a civil servant, not a lawyer. She cannot decide whether the "gatherings" broke the rules in place at the time. Will she have legal advisors, and on what will they be empowered to give opinions?
It is telling that Johnson's statement at PMQs was, as @AdamWagner1 put it, "obviously lawyered", but there isn't a lawyer in sight in the investigation on which the Tory Party is pinning its hopes.

This makes grim reading.
Apart from the obvious failures of prison healthcare, what struck me was the woman's insistence that she couldn't be pregnant as she didn't have sex with men. This paragraph suggests she was raped.
I'm reminded of Reynhard Sinaga's rape spree. By using date rape drugs, he raped over 200 men without their knowledge. The men typically woke up in unfamiliar surroundings with no recollection of what had happened.

This paragraph from the Sustainable Growth Commission's report on Scotland's future after independence is incredible. Have they learned nothing from Northern Ireland? Frictionless borders with both the UK and EU are not possible. #cakeism ImageImage
If independent Scotland became a member of the EU or the EEA, there would be a hard border between Scotland and the UK.
If independent Scotland pursued a less restrictive immigration policy than the UK, as is also proposed in the report, there would be border controls between Scotland and the UK. Image

Dear gender critical people, I understand you are concerned about the safety of women and girls, but please stop misusing the term "safeguarding".

"Safeguarding" does not mean protection of women and girls. It means protection of children and vulnerable adults OF BOTH SEXES.
The Govt provides detailed policy guidance on safeguarding for children and vulnerable adults. Please read it. Training is also available.
Children: gov.uk/topic/schools-…
Vulnerable adults: gov.uk/government/pub…
Safeguarding policies ONLY apply to children and vulnerable adults. They do not apply to adult women unless they are classed as vulnerable adults.

So I have now read Kathleen Stock's book "Material Girls". It is thoughtful, but deeply flawed.
The best part of the book is the philosophical analysis in the first two chapters. After that it sadly degenerates into polemic.
It is also unfortunately littered with ad hominem attacks against certain academics with whom Stock disagrees, and there are instances of outright hypocrisy - for example she castigates trans activists for misrepresenting statistics, then misrepresents statistics herself.

Perhaps we should stop reporting "highest FEMALE winner", as if it is somehow remarkable that women manage to win anything.
Jeopardy is a general knowledge quiz show which women are every bit as capable of winning as men. The implication that it is somehow surprising that women can win it is misogynist. And so is the claim that a trans woman winning it is unfair to cis women.
Women's brains are not weaker than men's. Nor are they less capable of learning and recalling general knowledge. There is therefore no need to prevent trans women from competing as women.
