Isn’t it weird that we are in a position where we can genuinely say “well at least he didn’t declare war on us yet”about the US every time Trump gives a speech

Just reflexively oppositional, YOU NEGOTIATED THIS DEAL! If you'd not held the election when you did, Rishi would have signed it. YOU WERE IN THE FOREIGN OFFICE AT THE TIME.
This is (1) disgraceful at a moment of national danger, (2) laughably unserious and (3) deeply unwise when the President is obviously becoming incapacitated and the most unpopular person in the whole UK. Utterly disqualifying.

With characteristic intellectual dishonesty, The Times, and Geraldine Scott, having come to us for quote have deliberately omitted most of what we said in response. Compare and contrast. 2/2
!["In our legal system the working out in subsequent cases of the consequences of a final court of appeal decision is entirely routine. It is extraordinary that a KC should seek to delegitimise that process. The inconvenient truth is that both Ms Reindorf and The Times chose to ignore what the Supreme Court actually said, and I quote from paragraph 248, 'this interpretation [does] not have the effect of disadvantaging or removing important protection under the EA 2010 from trans people'."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xurjtu2wa2akyi64gab34ahg/bafkreigieffwg3q3anocydvsneiv2wfbwhr4m3zskjo4l7e72ovxhpouem@jpeg)

Or A v Chief Constable of West Yorkshire Police, refusing to accommodate irrational prejudice cannot amount to indirect discrimination.
Men are more homophobic than women, but we can’t argue a gay-inclusive changing room is indirect discrimination, because it’s irrational.

I would like to once again emphasise that the ET entirely exonerated (and indeed went out of its way to say it was doing so) the trans woman who has been so publicly monstered in this case.
Still not seen the full judgment, but notably the ET dismissed the harassment claim against Rose Henderson, the trans woman in the Darlington Nurses case.
Yet another trans woman who has been publicly demonised after doing nothing wrong.
