    It is indeed ironic to be reported to the UN for seeking a balanced, respectful debate, defending the rights of all.

    It would be bad manners to comment on decisions of my estimable successors at the @EHRC David Isaac and Kishwer Falkner, both appointed in much the same way as I was.But I served a three full terms at CRE/EHRC under both Labour administrations and Tory/Lib Dem coalition…..1/5

    Just to clarify that I meant to say that we don’t have a right not to be offended. Conflicting views are part of healthy discourse!Thanks @stephenpollard for pointing this out.

    EHRC chair Baroness Falkner just said on @BBCr4today , responding to Forstater ruling, "we all have a right not to be offended". This is wrong on every level. There is neither a legal nor a 'moral' right not to be offended, and it is essential we never go down this path

    Remembering my trip to #Auschwitz in 1999, I felt it important to go before that century closed. Our duty now is to ensure the next generation understands and remembers.

    #Dutchvote Good to see Liberal parties surging ahead. Rutte's VVD great eg. of muscular Liberalism. D66 our conscience. Lib Dems take note.

    I voted today on a Trade Bill amendment to ensure that parliament, not a committee of retired judges should decide if a trading partner is committing genocide - it’s the responsibility of us parliamentarians and shouldn’t be outsourced, my speech is here:
