Screenshot of a Google Doc called "Alleycat 2nd draft" that reads: "Alchemists have been stealing mysterious otherworldly artefacts, and after a night with Trig, Dy is dragged into uncovering the plot behind these thefts when he is accused of a crime he didn’t commit. But while trying to clear his own name, he’s forced to face the urgent issue of safely returning magic to a world on the brink of environmental destruction."
Screenshot from Labour's 2024 manifesto reading: We will also modernise, simplify, and reform the intrusive and outdated gender recognition law to a new process. We will remove indignities for trans people who deserve recognition and acceptance; whilst retaining the need for a diagnosis of gender dysphoria from a specialist doctor, enabling access to the healthcare pathway."
Screenshot from Labour's 2024 manifesto reading: "Labour is committed to championing the rights of disabled people and to the principle of working with them, so that their views and voices will be at the heart of all we do."
Screenshot from Labour's 2024 manifesto reading: Child poverty has gone up by 700,000 under the Conservatives, with over four million children now growing up in a low-income family. Last year, a million children experienced destitution. This not only harms children’s lives now, it damages their future prospects, and holds back our economic potential as a country. Labour will develop an ambitious strategy to reduce child poverty.
Screeshot from Labour's 2024 manifesto reading: "Yet back then, there was at least a degree of security in being able to take those two fundamental beliefs for granted. For families like mine, this was a comfort. The knowledge that Britain would offer your children a better future gave us hope. A hope that may not sound high-minded or particularly idealistic, but which families like mine could build a life around."
Screenshot from Labour's 2024 manifesto from their change section with lines highlighted that read: "Second, that if you work hard then – whoever you are, wherever you started in life – Britain is a country that will respect your contribution and give you a fair chance to get on."

Screenshot of an AI overview for the search"ants can't carry sheep meaning" reading The idiom "ants can't carry sheep" emphasizes the disparity in size and strength between two groups, often used to illustrate the futility of a weak group attempting to take on a stronger one. It essentially means that a small, insignificant group cannot overpower or control a large, powerful one
Screenshot from the UK Supreme Court ruling reading 236. On the other hand, a biological definition of sex would mean that a women’s boxing competition organiser could refuse to admit all men, including trans women regardless of their GRC status. This would be covered by the sex discrimination exception in section 195(1). But if, in addition, the providers of the boxing competition were concerned that fair competition or safety necessitates the exclusion of trans men (biological females living in the male gender, irrespective of GRC status) who have taken testosterone to give them more masculine attributes, their exclusion would amount to gender reassignment discrimination, not sex discrimination, but would be permitted by section 195(2). It is here that the gender reassignment exception would be available to ensure that the exclusion is not unlawful, whether as direct or indirect gender reassignment discrimination.

Screenshot of an email from IPSO that reads: In this instance, we noted that the headline’s reference to “gender terrorists” was clearly presented as the article author’s comment. We noted that the tone of the piece was polemical and somewhat hyperbolic, and included phrases such as “It’s time to mount a fightback against the woke warriors” and “we are living in a cowardly new world”. This made clear that the article - and by extension the headline, which was presented in the same hyperbolic language - was an expression of the author’s views, rather than a claim of fact. In addition, the article as a whole was clearly presented as a comment piece, through the prominent positioning of the writer’s name and photograph. Taking these factors into account, the headline – which we considered in conjunction with the article as a whole - did not suggest that transgender activists are literal “terrorists”. Rather, this was being used in a hyperbolic manner to illustrate the writer’s position that “militant transgender activists” are using bullying tactics in order to achieve their aims.

Screenshot of an email from IPSO reading: A number of complainants said the article was in breach of Clause 12 (Discrimination) because they were concerned that the article was discriminatory towards transgender people. Clause 12 is designed to protect specific individuals mentioned by the press from discrimination based on their race, colour, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation or any physical or mental illness or disability. It does not apply to groups or categories of people. Complainants’ concern that the article discriminated against transgender people in general did not relate to an individual. We did not identify grounds to investigate a possible breach of Clause 12 For more information about Clause 12 and how it works, this blog may be of interest.
Screenshot from YouGov reading: When it comes to the key questions of whether people should be able to socially identify as a different gender, the number of 18-24 year olds who say they should – 61% – remains almost exactly the same as in 2022. However, the number who say they should not has risen eight points to 25% over the same time period. And when it comes to whether you should be allowed to legally change your gender, support among the young has actively diminished: while 50% still say so, this has fallen seven points since the prior study. At the same time, belief that you should not be allowed to change your gender legally has increased by a full 16 points, to 36%.
Screenshot from the YouGov FAQ section that reads: How does YouGov conduct public opinion research YouGov conducts its public opinion surveys online using something called "active sampling" for the overwhelming majority of its commercial work, including all nationally and regionally representative research. The emphasis is always on the quality of the sample, rather than the quantity of respondents. When using active sampling, restrictions are put in place to ensure that only the people contacted are allowed to participate. This means that all the respondents who complete YouGov surveys will have been selected by YouGov, from our panel of registered users, and only those who are selected from this panel are allowed to take part in the survey.
