“Those provisions were always there, but the Supreme
Court has set that out beyond a doubt.”

Clear, strong and impressive from Labour's Minister

Great to hear! 🙏

Sad but true, with a few notable exceptions.
I don’t post much on this site. But what I’ve learned today is all the liberal men (who’ve fled here from evil X) defame you, and when you answer back, they block you or run away.

They will answer other men, but never women. Strange that. 🤔

Leftie men: the most disappointing people on earth.

The court ruling makes clear to all what ordinary women across the UK have been saying for years: the law protects single-sex spaces & services.

A significant moment in the fight to protect women's, especially lesbians, rights.

We remember. 💖💔
A woman is killed by a man every three days in the UK.
They are our daughters, sisters, mothers and loved ones.
But we are not after sympathy - what we want is change.
