UK drops six more places on the ILGA-Europe #RainbowMap to now lie at 22nd, an outlier in Western Europe. The only country to fall further is Orbán's Hungary. Ten years ago the UK was first on this list. Only six years ago it was third. "A co-ordinated global backlash aimed at erasing LGBTI rights."

This "debate" about who should use what toilet doesn’t benefit anyone. It doesn’t fix the underfunding of women's refuges, NHS waiting lists leaving women in terrible pain, mums skipping meals to feed their kids. How about we get on with tackling the real issues affecting women?
