The EHRC’s newly published Code of Practice on services, public functions and associations does exactly what many liberals feared it would do to the trans and non-binary communities. @tanyajaynep.bsky.social explains what damage the Code will cause… www.libdemvoice.org/the-amended-...

I don't think it's a good idea to legally privilege someone else's discomfort over another person's rights.

The amended EHRC code doesn't just permit trans exclusion. It makes inclusion a legal liability. The EHRC chose this. We have 40 days to challenge it. @genderedintelligence.co.uk @goodlawproject.org @equalityhumanright.bsky.social @stonewalluk.bsky.social @transactualuk.bsky.social

@tanyajaynep.bsky.social offers a different perspective on whether we should field a candidate in Makerfield, but is Andy Burnham willing to go along with the terms of such a deal?… www.libdemvoice.org/stand-aside-...

Today is International Transgender Day of Visibility, and LDV is pleased to publish this powerful article by @tanyajaynep.bsky.social… www.libdemvoice.org/my-existence...

It's Trans Day of Visibility, and I want to talk about an overused phrase. "Gender ideology." Deployed with such confidence. Such certainty that it's just describing reality. It isn't. Here's why.

If you’re going to claim that puberty blockers are untested but oppose clinical trials, is your bias showing? @tanyajaynep.bsky.social highlights the contradictions of those supporting the Cass Review whilst denying its key recommendation… www.libdemvoice.org/you-cant-cit...

Yesterday in Westminster Hall, MPs argued for cancelling the PATHWAYS puberty blockers trial. The same MPs who demanded Cass be implemented in full. The same Cass who recommended the trial. That's not safeguarding. That's ideology wearing a lab coat. @goodlawproject.org @helenwebb.bsky.social

Claims of a "Christian revival" based on Bible sales are a perfect example of why we should be rigorous with data. We have an obligation to describe our reality accurately, not as we might wish it to be.

These people are poison. They will unleash racist thugs on the streets of this country and call it security. They will subjugate us to the US and call it patriotism. They must be stopped. There is no more important task in politics.

In 1900, the richest 1% held 70% of Britain's wealth. Policy brought that down to under 20% by 1990. Now, inequality is surging again, and neither major party is even arguing for structural reform. We've been here before. We know the way out. CC: @scottsantens.com

Beyond Essentials: Why the @jrf-uk.bsky.social Poverty Report Demands Transformative Ambition.

Great episode, kept me entertained as I drove to Heathrow this morning at half 5!

From my fortune cookie after tonight's Chinese....and there was me thinking life was already TOO interesting! 😳

The right-wing media say women were "denied justice" over Hampstead Ponds. They ignored what 38,445 people - most of them actual pond users - said: 86% support trans inclusion, 81% report positive experiences, and every segregationist "compromise" failed spectacularly. Evidence beats ideology.

"The idea that trans inclusion at the ponds is somehow imposed against the wishes of users simply does not survive contact with reality. Londoners have looked at the evidence... and overwhelmingly said: this works, this is fair, and this reflects our values." celord.com/2026/01/29/h...

When a group names itself Liberal Voice for Women (@libvoice4women.bsky.social) we should ask: whose liberalism, and which women? LVfW positions itself as championing free speech and women's rights. But examine their record, and a different picture emerges. 🧵1/15

Positive news here. Cautiously optimistic that we might see a marginally less abusive approach from the EHRC. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Reform is basically a suburban petrol station's DVD bin of Tory politicians.

‘Gender critical’ transphobes running to the right-wing for validation while claiming to be “on the left” just show their hypocrisy and who they’re actually aligned with! They use billionaire-backed lawfare to bully orgs to make trans-inclusive positions too costly to defend.
