GB News: Council worker sacked for failing to use 'acceptable pronouns' on email signature instead putting 'AdultHumanMale'
A council worker, Jim Orwin, was ordered to pay £12,000 in legal costs after losing an employment tribunal over his dismissal for refusing to use conventional pronouns in his email signature. The tribunal found his claims of discrimination and unfair dismissal to be vexatious, despite recognizing his gender-critical beliefs.
Orwin had added "XYchromosomeGuy/AdultHumanMale" to his signature in protest against the East Riding of Yorkshire Council's pronoun policy. The tribunal ruled that the council's actions were reasonable and criticized the implementation of the policy. Orwin has since started a crowdfunding campaign to cover the legal costs.

The Telegraph: Paris hit by spike in wine thefts from its top restaurants
Burglars have stolen €60,000 worth of fine wine from a Paris restaurant, marking a rise in wine thefts in the city. Over 750 bottles were taken, with some valued at €2,000 each, reflecting the growing appeal of high-value wines for criminals.
