A Labour government passed the Equality Act. A Labour government was in power when the Supreme Court interpreted it to not mean what ministers at the time were clear it was intended to mean. The Labour government response should have been to legislate to fix it. Not doing so was a cowardly betrayal.

I've spent the day in Wells next the Sea, a place I dearly love, and found this sign in a shop window. I have never seen *anything* that is more Norfolkian than this.

Unlike glinner I too do not have a criminal record. Also unlike Glinner, my wife hasn't left me because I'm obsessed with a minority group.

🕯 Today we pause to remember the trans people whose lives were taken by violence this year. Those lost to hatred, and those lost to the unbearable weight of living in a world that too often refuses to see their worth.
We hold every name and every story in our hearts.

Labour policy is being celebrated by Tommy Robinson.
That's it.
That's all you ever need to say to explain who Labour are.

Sorry, am I genuinely being asked to believe that the BBC is biased in favour of trans people?
I cannot remember the last time a trans person was given a voice on the BBC. It's as if they don't exist. They are talked about on the BBC, not talked to.
This entire debate is just fucking stupid.

The EHRC has ditched its 'interim update'.
But their draft Code of Practice is a bigger threat than ever.
