The draft is cruel; there is no evidence it will better protect women, cis or trans; it breaches Labour's manifesto commitment to trans people; it is unenforceable; encourages vigilanteism; and it is clearly inconsistent with the UK's obligations under the ECHR. We will challenge it in court. 2/2

We now know that, pending any appeal, the EHRC's support for its landlord's application to criminalise protest was not just an act of monumental hypocrisy by Kishwer Falkner - it was also legally flawed. www.crowdjustice.com/case/protect...

Here is the UK losing on Article 8 in Goodwin (from the judgment of the European Court of Human Rights). I can't show you where the Supreme Court didn't deal with it in For Some Women Scotland because it didn't deal with it.
Why did Labour reappoint as Chair someone so woefully equipped?

In fact, funnily enough, this judgment just issued today
"The applicant also complains that he was forced to repeatedly and involuntarily disclose his gender identity every time he had to present his identity documents:
Violation of Article 8"
(T.H. v Czech Republic, no. 33037/22)

If only there was a resource to help Faulkner understand. Perhaps a resource that only cites one example. I guess that's too much to ask...

The amendments are both legally sound but do different things – (NC1) Tonia’s (which BPAS supports) is narrow and decriminalises only abortions by the woman; (NC20) Stella’s is broader and would also decriminalise abortions by partners and medics. /4

The amendment would be to the Crime and Policing Bill – and there are two amendments currently being tabled.
NC1 tabled by Tonia Antoniazzi (snip one) and NC20 tabled by Stella Creasy (snips two and three). /3
