- Congratulations to @ForWomenScot for this unequivocal win at appeal! Women’s & lesbians' rights are human rights. They do not impinge on others' rights. @UKLabour Gov & public bodies must now review all existing policies to bring them in line with this ruling & common sense.
00:00 - Storming speech from @joannaccherry in the #IWD2022 Commons debate. "What you cannot define, you cannot protect and what you cannot name cannot be properly discussed and debated". If no-debate was weakening before, Joanna's finished it off. #SexMatters youtube.com/watch?v=2LJxZK…
- Replying to @DawnButlerBrentYour tweet is disgraceful and brings our party into disrepute. That's our tweet.
- @UkLabour peer @PeterHain "I am on JK Rowling’s side..she’s been absolutely vilified simply for calling for equal rights. You’ve got to protect women’s spaces. I just worry about a lot of the battles that have been very hard won for women..being reversed".
- "Do biological males with gender recognition certificates have the right to enter women-only spaces? It’s a simple yes/no question” thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar… Starmer is emphatic. “No. They don’t have that right. They shouldn’t. That’s why I’ve always said biological women’s spaces
- @ToniaAntoniazzi asks: "Why is @BritishCycling neither following #EA2010 nor implementing the agreed guidance of the Sports Councils Equality Group's report on transgender inclusion?". #FairnessInSport is now at risk for all women inc elite British athletes like Dame Laura Kenny
00:00 - YES! BREAKING!! Thank you to all of you who helped with this campaign! Lord True has just announced that the government will accept @LordLucasCD's amendment, supported by @LordPhilofBrum & many others, to replace the word person with mother & expectant mother. #SexMatters
- Standing ovation for surprise guest @RosieDuffield1 at #LWDBrighton - “there comes a point where you have to stand up and speak”
- As @RussellFindlay1 speaks powerfully about rape being a male crime and calls for measures to prevent predatory men applying for a GRC @NicolaSturgeon and @AnasSarwar leave the chamber. For shame on them both.
- "Were Ms Peggie to succeed in her case against the RCN, the trade union movement could face further claims from women alleging workplace mistreatment for defending single-sex spaces." Archive version ⬇️ archive.ph/wKDkM #IStandWithSandiePeggie heraldscotland.com/news/25325910.…
- At today's Zero Tolerance event where Nicola Sturgeon was speaking, women were told not to mention single-sex spaces. It's an age-old message: women, stay silent to stay safe. But one brave Edinburgh woman wouldn't wheesht. Solidarity, sister. #NoToSelfID #WomenWontWheesht
00:00 - We booked a @LabWomenDec supporters table tonight at #LWNGala2022, plus many other of our signatories are also here @Keir_Starmer spoke to us, said he supports single sex exceptions & agreed to finally meet us to discuss our #FreeSpeech to discuss #SexBasedRights in @UKLabour.
