@BettsCaro @eNeecie Definitely not. Nor do I have a designer bread bin, as Murrell and Sturgeon apparently enjoyed. On the other hand, I have a musical advent calendar, because I have an ineradicable love of kitsch.

We have written to Bridget Phillipson to say that it is ultra vires and irrational for the EHRC and the govt to have added the section on "asking about sex" which wrongly claims sex is likely to be "special category data" to the Equality Act guidance at the last minute.

NEW: We have written to the Minister for Women and Equalities Bridget Phillipson, calling on her to withdraw the “asking about sex” section of the EHRC code of practice for service providers because it is legally wrong.

Someone asks why the - and I don’t mean to be indelicate - bald Peter Murrell needed two Dyson hairdryers and I can think of no reason.
What was he drying? And why?

@bphillipsonMP @EHRC The substantive changes to the @EHRC Code since it was sent to Govt last year are:
1. a new & untested legal interpretation on multi-protected characteristic associations
2. sex is now said to be “special category data”, which is wrong & looks amenable to legal challenge…/3

The MPs claiming the government has successfully ‘scaled back the law’ through making amendments to the EHRC Code of Practice don’t know what they’re talking about. They’re just saying it because they think it makes them look good and the EHRC bad.

Trans people should ignore the EHRC guidelines and take them all to court. Once the cases start on a large scale and supply the courts with the biological information of why people are transgender, it will all be overturned.

@eNeecie Every other day a new motorhome appears in my mother-in-law's drive and Neil hands me another bucket full of jewellery and cosmetics. I can only assume he's got himself a part time job I'm too busy to ask about.

@Dennynews When in hole, stop digging. I realised we had expensive accoutrements, but being a lowly women, I didn’t think to question how expensive they were. She is actually destroying women’s rights, one word at a time. Shut up, for God’s sake!

Nicola Sturgeon has released a further statement through her solicitor, Aamer Anwar.
"In respect of any items I was aware of Peter having purchased, I had no reason to doubt that he had used his own money"

@legaltweetz I often hear the song The Windmills of Your Mind in my head when I read trans activist arguments.
‘Like a tunnel that you follow to a tunnel of its own
Down a hollow to a cavern where the sun has never shone…’

@johnandi We have had a decade of idiots telling us this and then we get incompetent Starmer, that has zero political nouse. So. No thanks. We managed marvellously without being lectured to by morons. Another idiot that thinks he has a brain. He does, but it is detached from his brain stem

Years into the future, people will want PMs to be like Keir Starmer and Mark Carney. Trust me on this.

Great day to remind people that Reform don't believe in climate change and are already scrapping climate targets in councils they control.

Not really. If my partner appeared with a car a motorhome, fancy calendars and accoutrements that I knew we couldn’t afford, I would be asking questions. It is called being responsible. You think women are as thick as shit. We see you, muppet

A man has literally admitted to the crime, but let’s hold his wife responsible instead. Nothing misogynistic to see here. 👍🏼

This is the left. Making any excuse why your wife, mother, daughters and grandmother cannot dress without the gaze of men. Time to tell these misogynistic men, to fuck off. We are done.

The fact that this heinous legislation was only repealed in the UK in 2003 shows how recently homophobia was embedded in society. Today’s attacks on trans rights reflect that same hostility, and risk dragging us back to the Thatcher era. Protect trans rights. Protect LGB rights

@ThomasWillett9 All I have is fuck off. You are an historically illiterate hobgoblin. You are women hater, we get it. You want us raped, abused and assaulted so your mates can undress in front of our daughters. Never going to happen, mate. Another out and proud rape apologist.

The Daily Britain@dailybritainonx
#OnThisDay in 1988: Section 28 became law. Passed under Margaret Thatcher’s Conservative government, it banned local authorities from “promoting homosexuality” and stopped schools from teaching that same-sex relationships were acceptable as a “pretended family relationship”. For years, it helped fuel fear, silence and shame around LGBT people in classrooms, councils and public life. Teachers were left scared to support gay pupils. Young people grew up without proper representation. And a whole generation was told, by law, that their lives and families were somehow less valid. Here is Margaret Thatcher speaking in 1987, the year before Section 28 became law, claiming children were being taught they had “an inalienable right to be gay”. Section 28 became one of the most notorious and damaging laws of the Thatcher era. It was finally repealed in Scotland in 2000, and in England and Wales in 2003.

Absolute expert on all possible things, including silly feminist bathroom hysteria, tells us we're all safer in our toilets than men are. Again instructs us to let anyone identify themselves in. To think, we've spent all these years objecting when we were told to just be quiet!

I see @UKLabour MPs are faithfully repeating the line that Govt has managed to “scale back” some “harmful elements” of the @EHRC Code of Practice.
They don’t know what Govt has “scaled back”. They haven’t seen the post-consultation version sent to @bphillipsonmp in Sep 25 …/1

Dear Sophie Molly,
If you’re reading this, here is some genuine advice for you in regard to your post below.
In the words of your fellow trans ally Mridul Wadhwa:
“Reframe your trauma, have a more positive relationship with it & rethink your relationship with prejudice.”

If I nicked £400k from a political party, I'd invest it in dirty women and drugs, not fritter it on a camper van.
I thought the Scots were supposed to be canny.
