Those bits of the EHRC's draft statutory guidance that weren't in its now withdrawn interim guidance we haven't challenged yet. But we will. And if the High Court finds the EHRC breached its statutory duties only a bigot or fool would rely on them.

OR, it will be quietly forgotten about, since they know it will be kicked out of court for wasting police time?
Either way, it will be framed for max SNP damage.
