Spot on again, James. Thank you.

Yes, but we have already had our rights eroded as many organisations are acting as if this is law.

Somethings gotta give and actually it already is. I feel optimistic about it ( not always) but the more the TRA speak out the more they alienate people.

Let them get on with a massive Own goal.
More and more people are having the ovaries to speak up.

The Tories could easily do a reshuffle and replace Mordaunt with someone with more common sense....and just let the whole thing drop. Face-saving all round.

Go on, James. Suggest that.

James thank you. Brilliant writing.

TimeLady unfortunately the people who have openly said TWAW will have to go under a bus/be scapegoated at some point so that the rest of the party can pretend it was never party policy and that this batshittery was limited to a few individuals. This will be easier for some parties than others.

Trouble is, how does Penny Mordaunt (and others) do a complete U-turn when they're on record as saying 'Transwomen are women'?

When did you last hear a politician, of any party, "Sorry, I was wrong".

I think that's going to be a real problem.

I love the way he reads MN. He's fab. Thank you James.

Oh yes, the change in tone is very noticeable.

James began this series of articles with a sense of being careful. I can see he is getting more and more angry. He's now pulling no punches and it's great.

The softly softly approach is long gone.

I agree that naming names and holding individuals to account is vital, especially Penny Mordaunt.

I just subscribed - they are doing a month free. I think it's about time...

Don't worry TimeLady - worth starting a thread.

Thank you once again, James (feels like this is a weekly message to you).

Really great article as always. I hope the both the Justice Secretary and Prisons Minister mentioned in the article read it and take note.
