As I said recently in The Guardian: "Despite their hopes to the contrary, anti-trans campaigners have not won the hearts and minds they believed the Supreme Court would give them" So they turn to this; desperate, fascistic calls for the destruction of those they hate (framed as ideas, not people).

@suzannemoore.bsky.social's "Kill Trans Ideology" Piece Is Just Hatred With a Byline I'd hoped not to be writing about yet another attack on trans people quite so soon. But Suzanne Moore's Telegraph piece demanding Britain "kill off trans ideology" in 2026 can't go unchallenged.

Why Liberal Democrats need a principled position on Farm Inheritance Tax www.libdemvoice.org/why-liberal-...

Interesting proposal on consumption tax, but the efficiency gains evaporate without addressing wealth concentration and demand-side dynamics - here's why we need integrated fiscal architecture instead - ajustsociety.substack.com/p/progressiv...

The fact is no presenter has ever had to leave the BBC for expressing conservative views, or even explicitly endorsing a right-wing party. Was never a problem for Jeremy Clarkson. Was never a problem for Andrew Neil. Was never a problem for Alan Sugar

This is a really clear explanation of the Peggie (GC views vs NHS) case. It's not a supreme court judgement but it feels like an important marker.

Thank you - this is the clearest analysis I've read so far.

When The Law Said No: How GC Arguments Failed in Court The headlines say Peggie won The actual judgment? Trans women don't pose safety risks. Trans inclusion is lawful. GC beliefs don't permit harassment. @helenbelcherobe.bsky.social @helenwebberley.bsky.social @heatherpaterson.co.uk

The Sandy Peggie case dismissed on almost all counts. But with others already underway, one dismissed case changes nothing – we've documented a 40-fold increase in challenges to trans-inclusive policies. These cases don't need to win. The litigation creates the pressure. The fear is the outcome.

Democracy Isn't For Sale: Why Britain Needs Campaign Finance Reform @electoralreform.bsky.social @unlockdemocracy.bsky.social @opendemocracy.net @libdems4er.bsky.social

The announcement yesterday by the Girl Guides, and today by the WI, both of which have been vocal supporters of trans inclusion in the past, that they'll no longer be allowing trans people in their organisations shows that there doesn't need to even be any active legal actions, just the.... 1/4

They Chose Yesterday They leaked anti-trans guidance to The Times on Transgender Day of Remembrance. Not the day before. Not the day after. On the day we mourned 281 murdered trans people. "The cruelty isn't incidental. The cruelty is the point." And 1% of the population can't fight this alone.

I wrote something reflecting on today.

A system that diminishes the rights of people fleeing persecution isn't just impractical, it's a failure of our common humanity. Vital that once asylum seekers are granted refugee status, they are able to build their lives with certainty about their future & a sense of welcome.

Coverage of the refugee proposals demonstrates why we have such a broken political system. Endless focus on left-wing anger and right-wing support. Basically nothing on whether the reforms will work. They will not, which is why we'll still be here having the same debate in three years.

This document is the product of a broken administration, motivated by cynicism, immune to human decency, with a weak-to-non-existent understanding of the policy area they wish to legislate in.

Labour was elected to do better than the Tories. Instead, Mahmood is racing Reform to the right - 20-year pathways, temporary status, withdrawn support. This won't stop the boats. It will just ensure refugees can never truly belong. @iandunt.bsky.social

Yesterday's Justice Committee report confirms our prison system violates human rights, costs £54k per prisoner/year & produces 80% reoffending. Labour must now follow the evidence towards community justice that actually works @prtuk.bsky.social @thehowardleague.bsky.social @cjalliance.bsky.social

What would protest rights look like if we took liberal values seriously? This isn't about whether you support Palestine Action. It's about what happens when the state can criminalise dissent by labelling it terrorism - and what liberal values actually require when it comes to protest rights.

🏊‍♀️The women who swim at Kenwood Ladies Pond have already made their decision. In 2024, almost 900 members voted to keep their trans-inclusive policy - a policy that has worked peacefully since 2019. Now, a small campaign group is seeking to overturn that democratic decision through the courts. 1/5

1/ Apparently, the employment tribunal in Darlington has turned into a circus 🎪 yesterday. Jo Phoenix, a criminologist known for targeting trans women in prisons and her links to hate groups, is giving expert evidence. The NHS Trust’s lawyer has just asked her a single question.

Thank you for sharing.

I've been writing a lot lately on my little policy side project... here's my latest piece, written this morning after hearing that the Girl Guides are facing possible legal action over their trans-inclusive policies. ajustsociety.substack.com/p/whos-fundi...

5 years since I bulk bought & distributed to friends & family @iandunt.bsky.social's How To Be A Liberal!

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design. news.sky.com/story/the-x-...

1000% this!

You'll have to ignore the buckets of anti-trans campaigning commentary in the piece, but the basic news is quite simple. The EHRC has failed to get the government to accept its anti-guidance in haste. Something is holding it up, perhaps for another a year www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Your daily reminder that the government continues to commercially support an individual who wants to destroy it through fascist violence.

Every child should start life with the same opportunities. But our state-funded school system is designed in such a way that some children are blocked from their local school simply because of their parents' beliefs. Others are sent to illegal, unregulated schools & denied a proper education.

Apparently 30 years since this was released, but that can't be true because I still feel like I'm 25! youtu.be/CBxYEGLckvQ?...

EHRC anti-trans campaign loses its momentum - a week of absolute scenes has left the organisation in limbo. Here's what happened, why it happened, and what it all means iandunt.substack.com/p/frightened...
