If you’re MP wants a way to object to the updated EHRC Code of Practice (now laid in Parliament), please ask them to sign this Early Day motion calling for the Code to be rejected. If this EDM gets enough signatures it could become a fatal prayer motion🙏 edm.parliament.uk/early-day-mo...

This is an absolutely devastating act by the Supreme Court. The video by Oliver Lewis, below, is a very clear explanation of what’s happened.

I notice that Ellie Chowns and Adrian Ramsay haven’t signed the motion to withdraw. If they haven’t done so by tomorrow I’ll be cancelling my membership and pushing for the Scottish Greens to disaffiliate again. If you can’t keep bigotry out of your party you don’t deserve anyone’s vote or money

It's quite telling that unions, workplaces, charities, trans people & their loved ones have strongly stated that the SC misjudgment and the EHRC Code of Practice are an appalling affront to modern society. Really only the right-wing press that has come out in favour. Who did Labour listen to?

When I say we shouldn't trust the Liberal Democrats, they've already started to withdraw their names from this motion...

Point about Farage’s drift from xenophobia to outright racism is that the Tories wilfully threw open the Overton window - and Labour have refused to redraw the norms clearly. And now every tragedy will be forced into this frame and we have to keep fighting a rearguard action to condemn the rhetoric.

Shame HoCStandards aren't on here (still on fascist site?). We clearly need a higher level of probity in our governing demographic backed by rules that have real penalties if broken. @jackabbott.bsky.social Acting like Tories with RW press is not going to get even this "Labour" a free ride

important to remember, since the press will rarely remind you, that the UK supreme court is not supreme in the way the US one is. Parliament is sovereign and can overturn or legislate counter to court decisions, they just choose not to

It is also worth reading this joint statement from @mind.org.uk, @mencap.org.uk and @autisticsociety.bsky.social on the harm this ruling will cause through, as they so accurately put it, "The biggest rollback of disability rights in a generation". 8/ www.mencap.org.uk/press-releas...

Today the Supreme Court, found in favour of the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care to, once again, allow for removal of rights and undermine protection for marginalised and vulnerable people, in this case disabled individuals. This is part of a wider erosion of human rights in the UK. 1/

Between this and Seema Malhotra's inflammatory comments calling for people to "step in" and attack trans people, the establishment is really trying to incite violence within the population. Stochastic terrorism.

they deleted the rights of disabled now ): next up abortion

When we say they are coming for everyone's rights, we mean it. This was not hyperbole. The systems you think protect everyone only exist until we are inconvenient.

Labour really having a bang up start to Pride. Meeting with a leader who has just criminalised LGBTQIA+ community, Minister for Equalities effectively opening door to even more abuse against trans people over toilets and then this. They're an utter shit show. www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/james-...

1/🧵 The Supreme Court has today overturned Cheshire West and removed important protections for severely disabled people. This case hits all the keywords: guidance, segregation, “never had the right”.

🚨DR UK's Statement on the EHRC's New Code of Practice "We are appalled at implications that an adequate workaround is trans people using Disabled toilets instead. We will not be used as a loophole in the wider erosion of trans rights." Full statement👇 www.disabilityrightsuk.org/news/disabil...

This Labour MP seems quite happy for the Labour Party to exclude trans people who have lived peacefully in society for decades from everyday life to pander to those with bigotry and hatred in their hearts. Restricting comments isn’t going to stop us pointing out his hypocrisy.

Someone actually did a study a while back that showed the most effective way to get women out of TERF groups wasn’t people trying to change their minds, it was them getting literally any benign hobby, like learning other languages or taking up needlework

up to 37 mps now opposing the anti-trans code reminder to contact yours & tell them to add their name edm.parliament.uk/early-day-mo...

I'm fairly comfortable that I got strategic assessments right fairly early on. It looks like all the 'super activists' who uncritically kept going rah rah for Zack have embarrassed themselves. After yesterday there's been a big wave of criticism of the Greens and resignations from the party.

I skimmed this so may have missed stuff. The Labour party dude mentioned Gaza and immigration but not trans rights. He also mentions Burnham because of "charisma" and doesn't mention a change of direction. Mentions factionalism and tribalism but not policy. 🙄🤷‍♀️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ern2...

HANNAH SPENCER WENT TO MANCHESTER TO "support trans rights" INSTEAD OF GOING TO FUCKING PARLIMENT TO ACTUALLY DO GOVERMENT POLICY STUFF the fuck

My old MP Thangam was deeply unpopular lcoally and only escaped a Labour deselection meeting because of an early GE. Darren Jones is equally unpopular and squeaked through. There's a disappointing lack of none terfy women contenders for leadership. They need to grow a spine.

Some activists are real fucking nobs who wave around their "activist" status like they're the only ones who know anything. They're incapable of self-critique or learning anything unless it comes from an approved source in their holy huddle.

I talked to a GC woman once, long before the SC ruling. She wasn’t interested if she inadvertently harassed cis women in toilets; all she wanted was to ‘hunt’ trans women down (her words) who were using them. @seemamalhotra-mp.bsky.social You’ve given a green light for women like her to now do that.

The US hasn't been trustworthy since whenever. Any data they filch off us can be used to profile us and for espionage. This can cost hundreds of billions in lost trade, attack our politics, undermine our rights etc.

Making breadcrumbs. Left it a bit late and I have a massive bowl of breadcrumbs I made in the blender to toast. Gawd, this is going to take hours.

I really hate it when people don't take time to comprehend a comment in a thread and wade in at a random place without showing they understood it and begin lighting fires.

This👇shows just how nasty and vindictive Rowling and Bindel are. The two of them have been having a go at Nicola Sturgeon after her TV appearance. Regardless of what you may think of Sturgeon’s current predicament, she’s never worn a T-shirt calling another woman a ‘scab’.

This is absolutely nuts: hackers are hijacking high-profile Instagram accounts by simply asking Meta's AI chatbot to change the email on the account. Meta's AI does it, hacker gets password reset code, they're in. A staggering security issue www.404media.co/hackers-simp...

I just noticed my MP Carla Denyer took time off for burnout just before the parliamentary debate where trans rights were discussed. She's stressed?? I don't think even the best of them have the slightest clue what it is like to live with this never ending transphobic environment.

Some welcome strength and energy from this Liberal Democrat MP. He's making the Green MP's look tardy in comparison. As much as I'm okay with my Green MP who is one of the better ones my vote may be in play at the next GE if this continues.

A Labour MP gaslighting the country to cover up the biggest rollback in LGBT rights since records began. There is no way he doesn't know he's lying. This is just marketing to pull the wool over people's eyes Labout is a legacy brand and victim of a hostile takeover by big money.

The Brexit ref was anything but democratic – and we're still paying the price for that failure. #RejoinEU 🇬🇧🇪🇺

Starmer is Thatcher without any of the moderation and Labour are at best a failed Conservative party. Protect the rich, kick people on benefits, kiss the Americans ass, throw crumbs for workers rights, cherrypick the EU, strip decades old rights from trans women and girls, and pander to racism.

Sadly, Eng has changed as a country if this kind of ethno-nationalism is tolerated. There's no rational or objective basis for Gove's remigration remedy. Ofc as a Tory, he's obscuring the fact that Thatcherism (& every Neo-Lib Gov't since) has depleted the UK's economic & social foundations.

The Greens under Zack, Rachel, and Mothin have been a big disappointment for trans rights. * Zack just wants to be a gay man partying. * Rachel thinks trans women are a puzzle. * Mothin is a religious bigot. A total no-show by Green MP's at a parliamentary debate highlights leadership failure.

One release from "The Mandelson Papers" is Pat McFadden who's now in charge of the DWP is happy with people on benefits being stuffed because giving them money is "bad for business". Labour since muttered about cutting benefits to pay for defence and AI. Basically, they just want to cut benefits.

The govt know they're stripping rights from trans women and girls that have existed for decades with no problem. The minister telling MP's to take it up with the EHRC is a piss take.

Just your regular Labour MP posting the bigoted "respect and dignity" dogwhistle and being rinsed for it in the comments.

I'm not interested in Pride and not participating in any campaigns or meetings or protests for trans rights. None of it does me any good. All I see is those who got theirs or half my age with time on their side or with passing privilege showing off and me going home to fester on my own.

All those effing trans women with jobs and friends and family and full bells and whistles private trans healthcare elbowing everyone out of the way and saying "It gets better". They run all the orgs and are the shoutiest activists. No it doesn't get better. It's just got worse and worse.

All these high rolling trans activists and trans organisations need to stop feeding us hopium. There is no realistic prospect within the next 5-20 years of us getting our trans healthcare or getting our rights back. For me that means any chance of transition is over. They never think of that.

Join a union. If you can, join one which is a clear and straightforward in its messaging as this:

MP in their party currently genociding trans people, does this. Disgusting

“how can trans, non-binary and intersex people participate in the IDAHOT+ Forum in 2027 feel safe” I would strongly advise against any of my international trans siblings visiting the UK for the time being. Sadly, this rock is no place for any of us who have a choice.

When Starmer was DPP he fiddled the numbers just so he could look good in a league table and effectively decriminalised rape. As PM Starmer has made it impossible for trans women to exist in public to the point where a trans woman who has been raped is thrown out of a rape centre.

first day working at the domestic violence shelter. we've got an e-learning on GDPR to finish and then they're going to show us the dignified and respectful way to tell a trans woman rape victim she'll always be a man and can fuck off
