Bad enough having Mizzy on #Newsnight, he ran rings, mocking @BBCNews for inviting him on & accused broadcaster of fuelling Andrew Tate's fame by doing a long interview with him. Mizzy & Tate may 'do' notoriety for clicks/fame; What's the BBC's excuse? Cringeworthy/humiliating
RT @BBCNewsnight: "I was raised by a single mum...I'm not in any shape or way supporting what Andrew Tate says about women"

So articulate @CeriLeeG (and courageous as well). So glad you are getting this story told. And thanks @JuliaHB1 for doing the interview. This legal 'loophole' that means that released sex offfenders can change gender, then name, and go under the radar, needs to be sorted asap.

Love this. Unapologetic argument for free speech & in defence of hate speech, articulates way beyond cliché & in a novel & witty way, why this matters. Thanks @TheFIREorg & @lexfridman and of course Harvey Silverglate

Richly deserved accolades. @SpeechUnion is a treasure: a proper union that actually defends its members. Sadly a rarity: on free speech issues, too many trade/student unions either avoid them, or worse, act as censors themselves. Disasterous: TUs should be SO important for rights

Joyless, futile puritanism. Shame so many Irish politicians seem to think this is a recipe of being modern.
RT @DonnellyStephen: Ireland is to become the first country in the world to introduce comprehensive health warning labels on alcohol products. I’ve signed the regulations so that from May 2026 labels must contain details of calorie content, grams of alcohol and risks of liver disease and cancer. https://t.co/LHBBnaRkyZ

Yuk. No fan of @StopFundingHate's censorious anti press freedom boycotts at best of times. They demand corporate money bully media into compliance. Now they're inciting hate against sports women for merely defending themelves from male incursions. Maybe we should boycott them?
RT @StopFundingHate: If you're concerned about the Telegraph's toxic messaging about "the transgender crisis" there's something you can do.

Shocking. Scary. Maybe a mistake but I warned re arbitrary power by banks in increasingly politicised/activist banking sector when discussed in Financial Services Bill, after dangerous precedent set by PayPal w @SpeechUnion & @UsforThemUK. Inevitably, Gov ignored my amendment.

Interesting thread, worth reading re #NatConUK event, which has generated lots of media coverage, much of which seems to have been less than insightful and / or fueled by its own political prejudice rather than the reality of the event. Thanks to @KonstantinKisin for some balance

I asked the government if a U-turn on abolishing Leasehold is acceptable when it was promised at the despatch box. Does the excuse that the law is too hard to change give us conformation of the Tories' weakness as legislators?

Later, I asked for a quick clarification from the government about how the public/individuals complain about problematic actions taken by Big Tech (which may well be brought about by this legislation). #OnlineSafetyBill

Know any 18-30 year olds interested in how best to tackle attacks on free speech? Do let them know about this great initiative from @LivingFreedomUK
RT @acadofideas: New on Substack: We can't just rely on legislation to support free speech on campus - we need to create a culture that values freedom. The @LivingFreedomUK Summer School (29 June - 1 July) is a great place to start.

My first attempt at speaking on Retained EU Law Bill thwarted as I had raised a question previously, and that counted as speech. Those are the rules - except I have seen so many do the same and not been stopped. Like the EU, the Lords is a 'rules-based system'. Until it's not.

Archbishop of Canterbury got all the front pages for his @UKHouseofLords speech on #IllegalMigrationBill. But for me, this speech by @tinastowell should have hit headlines as it challenged a rather smug consensus, as did minority of 75 plus speakers. Let's hear their arguments

How brill is this. Grassroots fightback. I stand with #breconbeacons
RT @JonesyFay: Good to join the Bannau Brycheiniog/Brecon Beacons Businesses Group this morning in launching their campaign to reinstate the bilingual name and logo for BBNP.

Another quick question on the war of the toggles! If asked to choose between censorship in order to feel safe, and free speech with the prospect of some discomfort/hateful material, I know which side I'm on. #OnlineSafetyBill

After that I asked a short, related question - yes I have every sympathy with those worried about adults who are vulnerable, but organising a law around adult access to material as though ALL adults are vulnerable is very dangerous for #freespeech. #OnlineSafetyBill
