@MaeveHalligan @TracyEdwardsMBE Great ❤️

"No, I don't subscribe to this 'kindness' - I'll tell the truth instead." I spoke at the Cambridge Union last night about LGBs, children's safety and women's rights. Full video here:

@annahamiltonart Absolutely loved my house sparrow cards which just arrived . They inhabited my childhood garden and hold lovely memories. Many thanks x

Thank you so much to everyone who has placed an order with me recently, if you haven’t already received yours it’s on its way to you as we speak! My house has looked like a box factory for the past month but it’s been such a lovely feeling to be busy!

@PintSizedFarmer @RunchieC Ok that ” oh I’d love one of those black and white sheepdogs” thing. That’s gone

In today’s highbrow farm news, Mavis the farm collie has rolled in pig slurry and is now operating as a mobile biohazard. The smell is so appalling it makes your eyes water. I took her out to air off. She rolled in sheep poo. We met a couple of walkers and heard a very posh “Oh, I say!” as Mavis thundered past. We went to look for wildlife. Everything downwind knew we were coming before we even stepped in the woods. Mavis then found some fox poo. She's had a full hosepipe bath and still smells like a health and safety violation. The dreaded Fairy Liquid may be the only way forward.

“It’s not the first time in history artists have faced oppression and it won’t be the last. We should support each other, come together and defend our shared space, our territory, the place where imagination can roam free. Because if they come for one of us they will eventually come for all. “ On Monday 26/4/26 I gave a speech at the House of Lords, Palace of Westminster to help launch toolkit.freedominthearts.com Please follow/donate to @Freedom_in_Arts they are doing VITAL work for all of us.”

@RosieKayK2CO @Freedom_in_Arts @roisinmurphy ❤️

The utterly imitable and extremely talented @roisinmurphy speaking at our @Freedom_in_Arts new toolkit launch in Westminster this week. Please watch this. If you’re not in the arts this will be important. If you are in the arts heed her warning. “The creative soul of this country, and of Europe, has always thrived on discomfort, on the freedom to be wrong, to offend, to pivot, and to surprise ourselves. Without that freedom, we don’t get better art. We simply put artists in a chokehold and suffocate life out of our culture. We need free inquiry and open debate. The arts- must - breathe freely again.”

@radishes4ever Sorry to hear women defending their rights scares you. Maybe go fuck yourself?

@TheAttagirls @AnneMarieReidy1 @Boo1956 Do you have a template for a postcard? I’m happy to go to the printers and get some run off

@AnneMarieReidy1 @Boo1956 I’ve made a start, Anne Marie, and I’m prepared to bury the House of Commons under an avalanche of postcards and emails if that’s what it takes. Time to make this matter more painful - politically - not to deal with, than to deal with.

There is no Woman of the Day today. Instead, I’d like to point out that purdah doesn’t apply to us. For the next three weeks, I’m putting a sign in my front window making it clear I will not vote for any Council election candidate who won’t ensure compliance with the Supreme Court’s ruling if elected. I’m sending postcards to @bridgetphillipsonmp, making it clear procrastination is not doing her any favours. I’ve used @SexMatters’ excellent template to email my MP — yes, the one who thinks women should just work a little harder at being kinder to the Most Oppressed — but I will write again about how unimpressed I am with delays and excuses. They are meant to be our elected representatives. They are meant to uphold the law. Time for them to locate their spines and stand up for women and children. I’m tired of waiting. Aren’t you? #NoMoreExcuses #SupremeCourtRuling #WomenWontWheesht sex-matters.org/take-action/wr…

@FondOfBeetles @Psychgirl211 Massive girl crush ❤️🤟

@Psychgirl211 Outside skin isn’t adapted to be inside a hot, wet body. It doesn’t function. It has a different ‘bug’ profile.

A cell layer that has developed to protect your body from the outside doesn’t work like a cell layer that has developed to protect your body from the inside. The cells lining my vagina are not the same cells, and they don’t have the same function, as the ones wrapping your penis. There’s a name for what happens when you subject dry-adapted “outside skin” to wet-adapted “inside conditions”. Further reading: trench foot.

@Matt_Pinner No

To the women who are on this app, be honest Are you OKAY with a man claiming to be a woman using the ladies room if you're in there? 🤷🤔

@Patrick_Duff Cracking gig x

@annahamiltonart I’ve ordered some of the lovely house sparrows! Good luck

Thank you to all who have placed an order this morning! Some items were low in stock and have now sold out. The lovely chap who prints my stock is on his Easter holidays atm but I’ll restock as soon as he’s back! This is mostly prints and coasters. Cards, bookmarks etc are fine!

The day women & girls are truly protected… we’ll know.

We can’t outspend the ACLU. But we can out-share them. Women’s sports are worth it.

@ShahrarAli @EmmaBatemanGPW Excellent. Thank you x

🔥 Go, Emma! Exposing internal corruption that led her to pursue unlawful discrimination. 👉 Not transphobic to assert only 2 sexes 👉 Parties must be able to tolerate difference of opinion. 👉 Weaponised processes make GP unfit to govern. @EmmaBatemanGPW

@ShahrarAli Thank you from the land of political homelessness x

BREAKING NEWS: Zack Polanski's Green Party is now heading for its second protected belief discrimination case, after losing their first one against me last year. I think it's important only to litigate when there's no other way and to do so dispassionately. I simply cannot abide by: ⚖️ A political association aspiring to make law thinking it can get away with continuing to break law! ⚖️ Lifelong activists, having built the party up from nowhere, being unlawfully discriminated against for standing up for the rights of women & girls to same-sex spaces & protections. ⚖️ The totalitarian subversion of freedom of expression, without which fundamental liberty democratic politics simply cannot function. For these reasons and more, I cannot allow the officers and representatives continuing to hold the party hostage with their ideological fanaticism go unchallenged through the courts. 💚 Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your continued support. The totalitarians, defended & enabled by the Green Party, will lose and lose big. ♀️ Here I am outside the court today filing the claim, now served on Green Party, too.

@BoozeAndFagz @RayJones34 Absolutely fucking fantastic piece of writing. You are a total hero. Nobody could describe such awful stuff so awesomely. In awe. Wishing you well x

@RayJones34 @RayJones34 RUDDY AWFUL - see new Halfling!

ANYONE KNOW HOW @BoozeAndFagz IS DOING IN HOSPITAL?

The Supreme Court spoke plainly. Sex in law means biological sex. Single-sex spaces exist to protect privacy, dignity, and safety. That ruling was unanimous, deliberate, and designed to end a decade of institutional confusion. It was not ambiguous. It did not invite reinterpretation. It settled the matter. And yet, months on, women are still waiting for the law to be applied. Not because Parliament has overturned it. Not because the judges were unclear. But because a Cabinet minister – Bridget Phillipson, the Secretary of State for Women and Equalities – has decided she does not like the outcome. The task of turning judgments into practice falls to the state. That is why the Equality and Human Rights Commission drafted guidance spelling out what the ruling requires of hospitals, councils, gyms, schools and businesses. It did exactly what it exists to do: interpret the law as declared by the court and urge ministers to act at speed. Instead, the guidance has been sat on, stalled, and quietly attacked from within government. While women wait, the minister responsible has gone further. In court filings, she has described the guidance as "trans-exclusive," as though enforcing sex-based law were an act of discrimination rather than compliance. She has offered bad-faith hypotheticals about infant boys and pregnant women in queues to muddy a judgment that was written precisely to prevent such games. She has demanded extra process where none is required. And she has aligned herself with a legal challenge brought by the Good Law Project, whose purpose is not to clarify the ruling, but to blunt it. The effect is not academic. Because the guidance is blocked, institutions do nothing. Hospitals continue to tell women to accept males in wards and changing rooms. Employers continue to discipline women who object. Public bodies continue to pretend the law is unsettled when it is not. The chaos the court sought to end is being prolonged by design. This is how rights are hollowed out in practice while being praised in principle. The contradiction at the heart of government is now stark. Keir Starmer told Parliament the ruling must be implemented "in full and at all levels." Yet his own minister is arguing, in court, for a "case-by-case" approach that would reintroduce the very incoherence the judges rejected. If a women's toilet must admit a male based on appearance or attitude, it ceases to be a women's space. There is no middle ground. There never was. The law does not bend because a minister finds it awkward. What we are watching is not caution. It is sabotage by procedure. No vote. No Bill. No open argument in Parliament. Just delay, reframing, and obstruction until the ruling is drained of force. That is not how a democracy treats its highest court. It is how an executive evades it. The irony is bitter. For years, women were told to be patient while clarity was sought. The court has now provided that clarity. And still they are told to wait – not for the law to be written, but for a minister to accept it. This is not about complexity. It is about will. A government that accepts a judgment only in words, while resisting it in action, is not governing under the rule of law. It is testing how long it can get away with ignoring it. And the price of that test is being paid by women who were promised protection and are instead given process. The court has done its job. The law is settled. What remains is a simple question of integrity. Will ministers carry out the law as it stands, or continue to stall until it means nothing at all? "While women wait, the minister responsible has gone further. In court filings, she has described the guidance as "trans-exclusive," as though enforcing sex-based law were an act of discrimination rather than compliance."

Gig with @thejesusbolt next Saturday x
