BBC now reporting it's seen evidence of Hamas raping/murdering women on Oct 7th. Tempting to ask where they've been. But I'm relieved. Gaslighting by much of media, casting doubt while horror in plain view, has felt like infuriating act of AS intimidation

I was worried when the senior deputy speaker, discussing the tone of Lords' debates, asked us to avoid 'argumentative language'. I asked about a possible chilling effect, and a danger of sanitising scrutiny. His reply reassured me... a bit.

Discussion about the Leasehold Bill today was a start, but SO lame. The government is only abolishing Leasehold for houses - not flats - despite the fact that the vast majority of LH are flats! Their excuse is that it's too complex. Well, I gave them a simple solution.

"Islamophobia definitions threaten free speech at 20+ universities". (I am no more keen on official Anti Semitism definitions adopted by academia btw - all unhelpful for academic freedom).

Yesterday, in a question on so-called Safe Access Zones around abortion clinics, I pointed out that the police seem confused about intimidation (eg arresting people for silent prayer), while ignoring it elsewhere (eg anti-Semitism outside MP surgeries etc).

Why leaseholders worry King's Speech doesn't go far enough: Anna Scoffin pays eye-watering £33,000 a yr service charge for her flat: “There’s no cap on it” she told i. “Will it rise to £40,000, £50,000? Will they expect me to eventually pay £100,000?"

In a rare interview, the Chair of Stonewall spoke with Beth Rigby from Sky News. Anderson squirmed, dodged, stumbled and mumbled through the entire thing.

Another day of #OnlineSafetyBill discussion yesterday in the Lords.
I began by stating the need for ongoing scrutiny of Ofcom's role as the most powerful regulator in Europe - to ensure a) no unintended consequences & b) to monitor its no doubt devastating impact on free speech. https://t.co/xLg2Kwn7qJ
