    Still banging on about the book at festivals everywhere - do get it to keep elderly relatives quiet over summer - plus thanks to ⁦@MatthewStadlen⁩ for this interview and there were people there, honest 😉

    Yes! We won. All the important bits. I was discriminated against by @CGDev because of my beliefs. A potential job offer and visiting fellowship were withdrawn. My biography was taken down from the website when I tried to assert my rights under the Equality Act (victimisation).

    I think you're right Nikki. I had no idea (and frankly I am one of the better informed on this subject) and the producers didn't either. We need to tackle these issues fairly but not from the 'everyone calm down' perspective that fails to note who is violent and who is not.

    On the toxicity issue raised by Dr Cass this morning, it's worth repeating: no major publisher would touch Hannah's book in spite of the fact that it was approved by the BBC as a piece of impartial reporting

    The remarkable @hannahsbee did more than anyone else to raise Qs over NHS' treatment for young people questioning their gender Brave and dogged reporting over many years for Newsnight & wrote the book while on maternity leave - always focused on welfare of those being treated

    Great to see so many BBC colleagues at launch of Hannah Barnes book Time to Think - about the collapse of the children’s gender service at Tavistock clinic. ‘Essential reading’ says ⁦@maitlis⁩ - do BUY IT 💪

    Caroline Flint stayed after she lost her seat and talked to everyone here at Doncaster - student radio, the lot. Calm, measured - constituency MP to the end.

    Given how we ‘fact checked’ Trump, worth saying this is untrue

    Happy birthday to my mum - she’d have been 99 today: an age she wanted to make but couldn’t. My book (which she would not wholly approved of 😳)is a salute to her generation of single mums and a plea for all women to be able to meet, teach, campaign, and just be themselves 💪

    Replying to @SteveChalke and @BBCr4today
    Thanks for replying Steve. Will get in touch privately but worth saying publicly the BBC and other responsible organisations cut their ties with Stonewall because of this kind of claim - widely challenged for instance here

    Hi Steve -- what is the source for these? As we know from the Samaritans guidelines suicide is almost never the result of one cause - so are we talking about doing further damage to already damaged children?
