Kathleen Stock, an academic and victim of cancel culture is being pushed out of her position because she supports transgender views.
According to my moles, a lot of senior Tories have begun lobbying Downing Street for Kathleen Stock’s (pictured) peerage write Andrew Pierce
Stock, who is gay and opposes ‘self ID’ for trans people, which makes it easier for biological males to enter women-only spaces, was until recently Professor of Philosophy at Sussex University.
Balaclava-wearing trans rights activists then forced her from her job, running a vendetta campaign and holding signs demanding her resignation. They hoped that this would end her career.
Stock could have the last laugh. My moles tell me that a number of senior Tories are now lobbying Downing Street to give her a peerage — even though the academic was hardly famous before the row put her at odds with the woke orthodoxy.
One source says: ‘She could go in to the Lords as an independent — her voice would be hugely important in the culture war.’ The move would be cheered by traditionalists as much as it would infuriate the Twitterati.
But would Boris Johnson be able to get past Carrie Johnson, his wife?
Mrs J has consistently sided with LGBT pressure group Stonewall, which takes a diametrically opposed view from Stock and continues to insist that ‘trans women are women’.
Although the red benches are stuffed as it is, in my view this is one brave scholar who does deserve to ‘don’ the ermine.

Overheard in the Commons: ‘Will all the members of the public who were fined for breaking lockdown rules now be getting a refund?’
Revealing why she turned down the BBC1 controller job, Dame Esther Rantzen said: ‘There are some people who are very good performers and communicators who should never go into management.
Management means you have to see if someone two doors down is having a party against the rules, doesn’t it?’
What could she possibly mean at Broadcasting House?
The betting markets correctly predicted the result of last week’s by-election in North Shropshire, but bookies are in for a nasty shock if punters are right about the identity of the next PM.
Oddschecker’s website shows that Jeremy Corbyn currently leads the pack for next Prime Minister.
According to the Oddschecker website, the most popular bet is currently Jeremy Corbyn — and he accounts for a remarkable 22 per cent of all bets. What are the odds of winning? William Hill offers 250-1 for Jez to be next to wave at No. 10. You must forget this thought
Talking of Corbyn, Stephen Pollard, departing Jewish Chronicle editor, reveals how his newspaper exposed the anti-Semitism under the bearded socialist’s leadership. ‘We had a mole in his campaign team,’ reveals Pollard.
‘He turned up to help but was sickened by casual anti-Semitic remarks he heard from some other volunteers.’
Further proof that KeirStarmer was right in exiling Corbyn.
Freed from Cabinet duties, having been sacked as media minister last September, John Whittingdale had time to enjoy a night out rocking to Bootleg Blondie, ‘the world’s No 1 Debbie Harry tribute band’.
Whitto was a fan of the lookalike siren: ‘This version is better . . . And they’re endorsed by Debbie!’ he enthused as he posted a picture of ‘Debbie Harris’ at Witham Public Hall in Essex.
The band performed hits like Hanging On The Telephone (and Call Me). I hope these didn’t bring back painful memories of the reshuffle.
TV crew at it like news bunnies
You will find it in the Winter Edition of Order! Order! is the magazine for ex MPs. Jerry Hayes was a former Tory MP.
Ex Tory MP Jerry Hayes ooks back fondly on the days of L!ve TV in the winter edition of Order! Order!Order!
He looks back fondly on the days of L!ve TV, the cable station run by the Mirror newspaper group during the late 1990s that broadcast such edifying content as topless darts, a ‘News Bunny’ mascot and a stripper to deliver financial news.
‘My favourite moment was being interviewed by David Banks, ex-editor of The Mirror,’ recalls Hayes.
‘In the ad break, the camera operators hopped onto a nearby couch and had sex. And then casually went back to film us.’
Whatever they say, sex clearly doesn’t always sell: the station lost £7 million a year before it was closed.
