Beyond affirmation: Lessons from Tavistock -A psychoanalytic critique of identity certainty and institutional defence
INTRODUCTION This paper critically examines the clinical and institutional dynamics that contributed to the closure of Tavistock's Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS).

Tavistock whistleblowers call for immediate halt to puberty blocker trial
Susan and Marcus Evans – two of the first whistleblowers involved in exposing the scandal at the Tavistock’s Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) – have written to the Health Secretary, Wes Streeting, asking him to “immediately halt” the proposed UK puberty blocker trial.

AI Regulation In The UK: Will The Next Government Introduce AI Legislation?
The current government's approach to AI regulation draws on non-binding, cross-sectoral principles. These were to be enforced by sectoral and cross-sectoral regulators using their existing legislative powers. There were no immediate plans to introduce legislation on AI. Both the incumbent, Conservative government and Labour's shadow cabinet have indicated some support for legislation imposing obligations on the most powerful AI models.

Give it a rest, Gary
Likening Suella Braverman to a Nazi is a new low for Lineker. Topics Identity Politics Politics UK ‘Beyond awful… There is no huge influx. We take far fewer refugees than other major European countries.
International Women’s Day is not for men
Stop telling women we need to make room for biological males. Topics Feminism Identity Politics World When German communist Clara Zetkin and her comrades announced the first Women’s Day in 1911, they declared that ‘socialist women of all countries are in solidarity with you’. Calling on women to take to the streets, they demanded that women’s day ‘be your day of glory’.
We need democratic control over our borders
The pro-migration side does itself no favours by clinging to ‘international law’. Topics Politics UK There is something odd about the response to the UK government’s new Illegal Migration Bill, which was announced by home secretary Suella Braverman in the House of Commons yesterday. Much of the media Twitter reaction and the growing reams of outraged commentary have not focussed on the rights or wrongs of the bill itself – the various cruel, illiberal and ill-thought-through features of this bill.
How assisted suicide has revived the death penalty
Topics Science & Tech World The Belgian state has once again authorised the killing of a prisoner, 105 years after its last peacetime execution. Geneviève Lhermitte was an infamous murderer. She killed her son and four daughters, aged between three and 14, in Nivelles, Belgium on 28 February 2007. On 28 February 2023, she was euthanised, after she successfully invoked her ‘right to die’. Lhermitte’s crimes were horrifying.
The lesson of Manchester? Technocracy is no match for evil
Topics Identity Politics UK Last week, a mother from South Shields said something about modern Britain that should haunt everyone who hears it. It was Caroline Curry, mother of Liam, the 19-year-old boy who perished in the Islamist bombing of the Manchester Arena in May 2017, alongside his girlfriend, Chloe Rutherford, who was just 17.
Just say no to digital ID
Topics Science & Tech UK In February, former PM Tony Blair and ex-Tory leader William Hague called for every British citizen to receive digital ID cards as part of a ‘technological revolution’. They made their case in A New National Purpose: Innovation Can Power the Future of Britain, a 21,000-word report published by the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change. As Hague proclaimed on Radio 4’s Today programme at the time, the UK must ‘redesign the state around technology’.
Lego has gone woke. Seriously
Topics Culture Identity Politics Lego has released a new range of ‘diverse’ children’s figurines, in a transparent attempt to lecture children about identity politics. This is not merely a cynical corporate branding exercise. It is the latest foray by our cultural elites into social engineering and moral instruction. It is an attempt to tell the proles and their kids what to think. Lego unveiled its latest range of ‘Lego Friends’ last month, featuring new variations on the classic chunky figurine.
The green elites really do want climate rationing
Topics Politics UK Climate scientists have finally said the quiet part out loud – rationing could play a key role in the UK government’s plans to tackle climate change. The R-word appeared last month in an extraordinary paper in Ethics, Policy and Environment, written by researchers at Leeds University. They claim that to address climate change the state may have to ration petrol, household energy and meat – just as Britain did during the Second World War.
No, opposing the ULEZ is not ‘far right’
Topics Politics Science & Tech UK ‘People’s Question Time’ is a regular, roving event in which the London mayor is quizzed by Londoners about their concerns. It is supposed to be an opportunity for the mayor to be held to account, argue for his policies and inspire the confidence of the electorate. But that’s not exactly what Sadiq Khan achieved at Ealing Town Hall last Thursday.
The politics of fear is the enemy of democracy
Topics Covid-19 Politics UK So now we know, they did seek to terrorise us. They did set out to scare us into compliance. It’s there in black and white in the latest Matt Hancock WhatsApp messages revealed by the Daily Telegraph as part of its Lockdown Files. We should ‘frighten the pants off everyone with the new [Covid] strain’, Hancock said to his media adviser, Damon Poole. ‘Yep that’s what will get proper behaviour change’, Poole chillingly replied.
Chris Rock’s righteous skewering of Meghan Markle
Topics Culture UK USA During his new Netflix stand-up special, Selective Outrage, Chris Rock has said what we’ve all long been thinking. That Meghan Markle’s claims to be a victim of royal racism are a pile of the proverbial. ‘Like, who is this girl Meghan Markle?’, asks Rock, during a section on people who are desperate to play the victim.
‘No other country would put up with this’
Rishi Sunak’s Windsor Framework, which has recast Northern Ireland’s relationship with the EU, has been roundly praised in the mainstream media. Since it was announced on Monday, the deal has been presented as a ‘grown-up compromise’, a sensible solution to the problems of the Northern Ireland Protocol. Finally, its cheerleaders claim, we can draw a line under the supposed madness of the Brexit years.
We must resist the Sam Smith-ication of culture
Topics Culture Feminism Identity Politics UK I’ve never understood the appeal of Sam Smith. You can find singers far better than Them – as the ‘nonbinary’ Smith insists on being called – on any given cruise ship. Then there are the things he says. Like a lot of today’s transvestites, Smith appears not only to have the magic mirror that affirms that he is stunning and brave, but also the new, souped-up model that tells him he’s a lovely little thinker to boot.
What I saw inside the Tavistock
The need for research Before I resigned my governorship at the Tavistock in 2019, I asked the medical director on the board of governors where the follow-up work was for the children seen by GIDS. I was told that the service did not do any follow-up work. The judges reviewing Bell v Tavistock discovered something similar.

‘If only I were a boy …’: Psychotherapeutic Explorations of Transgender in Children and Adolescents
Some preliminary remarks. Due to the sensitive nature of this clinical area, the author has decided to draw on his experience to create a composite clinical case as an additional measure to protect patient confidentiality. Although this is a composite case, there are many similar clinical features in this group of trans-identifying (or ‘gender dysphoric’) individuals, confronting us with similar technical challenges.
Gender Transition and Desistance in Teenage Girls: Two Psychotherapeutic Case Studies
When doctors always give patients what they want (or think they want), the fallout can be disastrous, as we have seen with the opioid crisis. There is every possibility that the medical treatment of young people with gender dysphoria may follow a similar path. Practitioners understandably want to protect their patients from psychic pain. However, quick fixes based only on a patient’s self-reporting can have tragic long-term consequences.
