This is very welcome news. read my condemnation of GMP's Chief Constable in the next post... www.westmidlands.police.uk/news/west-mi...

Its time Sir Stephen Watson considered resigning. open.substack.com/pub/lynsaywa...

Another attempt by the anti-LGBTQ hate-movement to build on the judicial review case Smith v Chief Constable of Northumbria Police - that was an uncontested farce and should never have proceeded. Anyway, I am applying to intervene:

In order to achieve total transgender liberation we must also fight for our comrades in prison, for migrants, for an end to imperialism, fascism, and capitalism. Listen to Champagne Song. Hate is Here. We must fight back with everything we have prairielanddefendants.com/defendant-wr...

The USA has criminalised antifascism, sentencing queer anarchist activists to decades (& in one case a CENTURY) in prison for self-defence, and carrying anti-ICE zines. The UK's use of terror laws puts us on the same track. Resistance may be punished, but we will resist nonetheless. xoxo BASH BACK

Some seriously good points in this short thread. Take a look, it will help when writing letters and emails. Unless we all start getting involved, our ability to exist as normal human beings in this country is well and truly over.

Starmer inflicted brutal attacks on trans rights and curtailed our access to gender-affirming healthcare. But his resignation means very little. His party has declared war on trans people. This will continue under Burnham. Politicians will not save us. We will save ourselves. xoxo BASH BACK

Even my mum is raging at the Starmer analysis: 'why will no one say that what's wrong with him is that he's a human rights barrister who doesn't care about human rights?'

"Human rights have increasingly been portrayed as incompatible with the outcome of the Brexit referendum, creating a political environment in which rights themselves are treated as negotiable." ✍️ @danielsohege.bsky.social bylinetimes.com/2026/06/23/t...

FFS.... if you can afford to, get out of this far-right shithole and never look back.

The Scottish Government did not merely lose a case. It chose not to appeal a judgment that strips individualised protection from a vulnerable minority in prison. It is now implementing transfers while *admitting* suicide risk exists. This is now an emergency safeguarding issue.

The absolute cruelty wrought by the EHRC, Judiciary and the Labour government has set human rights back decades. As bigots celebrate in FWS those of us on the frontlines are left to ponder our next steps in a country becoming increasingly as hostile as Mother Russia www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Notwithstanding the ugliness of the matter at hand, I savour this exquisite use of language: "...the prison context magnifies the danger of any policy that treats transgender people as a contaminating presence..." The phrase "contaminating presence" encapsulates the attitude of the transphobe

This is one of the most alarming things we've ever read. Please share - this needs to get around as far as possible, asap. Total, utter, despair. emiliabeckers.substack.com/p/how-the-nh...

FOIA exposes grotesque policy by Police Scotland on trans women. If you are assaulted or killed because you are a woman to your attacker - Police Scotland will NOT record this as 'Violence Against Women and Girls' (VAWG) - and that's official. This is full-blown social-eradication. We despair.

Letter to the personal email of Lady Linda Pollock, Chief Executive of the SPS

Loyalists have had free reign to terrorise communities here my entire life.

The Self-Shamer (internalised homophobia) Dennis Noel Kavanagh using language that has no place in modern society. He’s scum. Absolute fucking scum.

No words. #BookSky

This is what a pogrom looks like: men in masks coming to drive you from your home. This is a collective failure of our political and media class because we did not have the courage to say no, and because too many were allowed to embrace this without shame

What are the Government, police and security services doing about the people who are quite clearly in the pay of a hostile foreign state, and using their platforms to whip up actual pogroms on our streets? This is a major national security issue and absolutely nothing seems to be happening about it

Can’t hate a selfie if it includes a dog. It’s facts.

100% yes. Forstater has consistently pushed for mandatory Digital ID - yet other GC wingnuts like ‘WeAreFairCop’ are vehemently against it. They don’t even know each other’s agendas

“Women survivors say NO to the EHRC Services Code of Practice. We will not allow our voices to be used to harm the trans community and know that in almost all cases our assailants are cis men already known to us.

NOPE. Get fucked If you changed the law to ban breathing I wouldn't follow that rule either

1/🧵 Women and Equalities Select Committee (joined by Joint Human Rights Committee members) live thread. Starting now: 2.36pm www.parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/...

Following the horrific Police Scotland FOIA disclosure, we now start the legal ball rolling. PS published guidance requiring officers to record both a person’s biological sex as registered at birth and, separately, their transgender status for victims, suspects and persons at risk.

Warning to all trans people and people who do not conform to gender stereotypes - avoid Police Scotland like the plague: Horrific thread:

@sophiemolly.co.uk Amend the crowd funder page, money donated by CF solely to fund litigation is not ‘ordinary income’ if the CF page expressly states the money’s for legal costs, funds are ring-fenced & used only for court fees, counsel, solicitors, experts, transcripts, etc. = completely safe.

99 MPs have signed the EDM. Keep pushing. If you haven't already, email your MP. If you have but have not received a response, send them an additional email. If they have signed it, make sure you email them to thank them.

102 Signatures (+2 withdrawals), currently ranking as the 23rd most signed EDM. This demonstrates there is clear opposition against the SC and EHRC's "interpretation" of the law. edm.parliament.uk/early-day-mo...

Excellent question. A point many people don’t realise about judicial review cases: You do not necessarily have to be a claimant or the defendant to have your voice heard by the court…

By far the biggest problem with delegating judgement to machines is the people who own the machines can tune them towards outcomes they prefer but those who don't own anything can't. It's not the technology. It's a transfer of decision making power from rational accountable systems to capital.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints was deemed not Christian enough for Pete Kegsbreath, who is a fascist Christian nationalist and a fucking douche.

This is important. The anti-LGBTQ evangelicals got away with a ‘win’ in the previous ‘police at Pride’ case (against Northumbria Police) *only* because Harry Miller kept the case so quiet it was too late for us (or others) to offer a voice of dissent. 1/4

I think a lot about this paper that showed that fascist regimes run off of incompetent people because they're the only ones willing to do the bidding of the ruling class. Bari is the right mix of dumb, incompetent, and willing hatchet woman for the oligarchs. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

We’re apiying to make submissions as an Interested Party. The police have been inept in these cases, no more so than the MILLER (case-law) judgement. The police lawyers were so excruciatingly bad, they might as well have been working for WeAreFairCop. Maybe they were… This case gets no free ride.

Wes Streeting's puberty blockers decision came days after the general election. We had brought a High Court challenge to the decision which was in Court like, a week, after the GE. So we knew his attitude to it was going to be the first big political call he made. /1

Please stop sharing content that uses trans men as a toilet gotcha. Trans men are not to use the men's OR the women's if they are too manly.

Judicial Review Update The High Court vacated the hearing in a JR against the Leicestershire OPCC and directed the case be re-listed with a different Judge. The court has recognised it is undesirable for the judge who refused permission on the papers to hear the renewal application herself. 1/2

I had no idea who Betty Campbell was. So instead of making derogatory remarks about her looks, I did what any rational (i.e non bigotted) person would do and Googled her name. Wow. Phillimore attacks a successful black Welsh woman because she looks masculine. Very feminist - not.

It is a mystery how he laundered his soft, vaguely law-related, but not law, degree into a qualification for teaching hard public law, and now a promoter of state ideology at Oxford. We must be extremely vigilant against the broader anti-rights movement, not just anti-trans hatred.

“Free Speech” includes this speech. You can’t bang on about it for years as a tool of oppression and not protected it when it’s used to protest transphobia… …without making absolutely clear your only real point was anti-trans campaigning.

@sophiemolly.co.uk As well as targeting you with unbelievable obsessiveness because you are trans, he’s now publicly accusing you of criminal fraud to his massive audience. I suggest you make a complaint to Avon & Somerset police right now. This isn’t ’free speech’ it’s Stalking. DM me if u wish
