It just doesn't stand up to any logical scrutiny, it's incredible that this is the line they parrot

“The content in this version of the code currently in force is based on the EHRC's previous misinterpretation of the Equality Act 2010."

So the EHRC are claiming they spent 14 years misinterpreting key legislation, because of the FWS judgement. And that judgement provides "clarity" does it? Right 🧐

We've written to @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social to request the government to revoke the 2011 services code and make our updated version statutory. It accurately reflects the law and updated guidance is urgently needed: www.equalityhumanrights.com/media-centre...

Absolutely disgusting. The ECHR was created to deal with governments that think like this

Woah! So Labour's position really is, 'telling us off for breaching human rights undermines the case for human rights'? Proper Trumpian stuff from Labour's answer to Suella Braverman.

Bridget Phillipson, Minister for Women & Equalities, has a decision to make.

Will she sign a bathroom ban in secret? 🕵️‍♂️ Or will she reject the EHRC Code that seeks to mandate the exclusion of trans people from public life?

The Code could be laid in Parliament any day now so this is really urgent. ⏰

Yvette Cooper’s clearly a bit shattered today

This letter from the Council of Europe is straight to the point: the FWS judgement is a mess.

A very needed intervention, and I hope the Government grow a spine and legislate to protect the human rights of trans people. Do the right thing and ignore ECHR naysayers:

🚨This is an emergency🚨

This Government is currently sitting on an EHRC Code of Practice that will lead to the segregation and exclusion of trans people in public life.

I cannot believe the gall of Kwasi Kwarteng to write this article. He and Liz Truss should never be speak again about the economy.

Imagine not having any shame or ability to self-reflect!

I had a dream that Ronnie & Roxy from #EastEnders served me lunch in primary school dining hall and got mad when I dropped my plate and asked for seconds 🤣

Bigots are becoming far too comfortable spewing hatred again.

Antisemitism, transphobia, homophobia, Islamophobia, racism, misogyny etc.

Make bigots ashamed again!

Two weeks after Heaton Park and we're already in "yeah but antisemitism is actually declining" territory.

BBC asking Bridget Phillipson at length about rising antisemitism in the UK (which actually fell last year according to new figures, albeit still very high) but not at all about rising Islamophobia, which is up by 19% year-on-year

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Couldn’t watch #CelebrityTraitors live tonight, but it remains excellent TV.

Surely the misspellings are on purpose 😂

Starting my #LFF London Film Festival visits off strong with Twinless.

Really really funny, more twists than I was expecting. Dark subject matter but still somehow laugh out loud and even sexy. Glorious!
