This is a lie. Delete it or post your evidence. I am not playing nice with this.

🚨Hilary Cass has called for an independent inquiry into how Brighton GPs were allowed to prescribe cross-sex hormones to children as young as 12.“There urgently needs to be an investigation of why every system that should have protected children, young people, and indeed young adults has failed,” she told me.
The employment tribunal between Dr Sarah Redvers and NHS Sussex has highlighted how regulators and the NHS collectively failed to stop prescribing of puberty blockers and hormones against national guidelines - for years - and how instead the person raising concerns was accused of transphobia and herself investigated.
Dr Redvers sat down with me for her only newspaper interview about her treatment in a scandal which, Cass now says, “dwarfs” that of the Tavistock’s GIDS.

NEW: BBC will no longer have a dedicated education editor as part of proposal that will see 100 jobs go across BBC News.
School leaders call the plan “deeply regrettable” and ask for a rethink.
Education/Social affairs editor jobs being combined.

I remember sitting in @DalgetySusan's flat as we pressed send on this email, thinking "What the hell, you don't ask....", and the phone call where she told me to LOOK AT MY EMAIL.

“Please stop adopting generalised statements of values — this inevitably encourages decision-making referring to a framework that has no relationship to the law.”
Sound advice for universities and their senior leaders from @akuareindorf KC, speaking at Edinburgh’s Conflict on Campus conference.
In CAF’s experience, it’s not uncommon to find a senior administrator or HR officer reminding an academic of the trite but true fact that freedom of speech is a “qualified right”, before proceeding, sometimes in the very same email, to assert that an alleged breach of the university's “values” takes the academic’s speech beyond the limits of what the law protects — thereby justifying anything from an admonition to “reflect on their tone or choice of words” to the launch of a disciplinary investigation.

It was great to meet @ProfAliceS at the Conflict on Campus event in Edinburgh, organised by @SimonFanshawe. Fascinating day and what a great name for a book - can't wait to read it.

Just had a meeting with the Dean of my Faculty alongside the Head of Employee Relations... Apparently I am under official investigation for writing a blog about how bad universities are at marketing. You literally couldn't make this stuff up.

(🧵) It's long been baffling to me why there has been ANY suggestion at all that NHS England or NHS Sussex only knew of concerns about the prescribing of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones by Dr Sam Hall in 2024. It's demonstrably false.
As presented at the employment tribunal Redvers Vs NHS Sussex today, former Sussex CEO Adam Doyle was personally told about a "disabled, vulnerable child" who was 16 year old, receiving hormones without the parents' knowledge in 2023. This is the same child that I call "Charlotte" in my book, Time to Think. To the best of my knowledge, this was the first time the WellBN GP practice/Dr Hall's prescribing practices were reported publicly.

I’ll also be at the @SexMattersOrg stall after each session and periodically throughout the entire conference selling Sex: One Woman’s War, the book Pat Carlen and I wrote about my life and why I ended up taking The Open University to an employment tribunal.

New suicide figures have been published by @ONS: 5,738 suicides were registered for England in 2025.
75% were in men. 1 in 65 men die by suicide.
And in the details: a politically sensitive concern, a small encouragement & an important point no media have mentioned.

Seeking religious endorsements risks fuelling sectarian politics. As charities, mosques must not endorse political parties or candidates.

"evidence-based medicine is just an opinion, not cogent or coherent" -- these people run our NHS
because she held a protected belief in the integrity of evidence-based medicine. The respondent defends all claims and specifically the latter claim by pleading that evidence-based medicine is just an opinion, not cogent or coherent and not relevant to a weighty or substantial aspect of human life and behaviour

Some personal news: today marks the start of a new career chapter for me… I’ve gone freelance!
In August, I took the difficult decision to leave the New Statesman after nearly three great years. I wanted & needed a re-set and some time with my family.
Since then, I’ve spent a great summer with my children and had a little downtime.
I’m planning to write, broadcast, and chair events from time to time, too.
If you think I could help your organisation with any of these, please get in touch.
As always, if you have a story to share, please get in touch. I’ll always do my best for you.
I’ve never been known to opt for the easy ride, so I see no point in starting now!
I’m excited about what this new start will bring…

THREAD - slightly long
1/ Three years ago this very day, I was being cross-examined by a top barrister representing @OpenUniversity. I had already been on the stand (so to speak) for nearly 2 days. I was tired and very scared.
