I think this was the other way round, Didn't Michelle Brewer contact a stonewall employee (while destroying a bin) and suggest that they all complain about AB's tweets?

I think the focus is on Alison vs Stonewall as that is the appeal.

BC is clear he is not submitting additional evidence but setting out why the ET reached the decision it did when it also stated Stonewall had influenced(?) GCC.

Thanks so much🙌

ArabellaScott · 14/05/2024 11:01

Best of luck today, Allison.

Could anyone tell me where the tribunal is being held? Going to try to make it in-person this afternoon.

Be aware the room is not big, and all the observers are clearly visible on camera.

It feels a very long time ago now doesn’t if it lots of different ways

In case it has been missed, Tribunal Tweets were granted permission to live tweet. Ben is currently summarising the findings of the original hearing.

ickky · 14/05/2024 10:46

Kirren Metcalf, Stonewalls head of trans inclusion (of support dog fame) sent an email complaining about AB's tweets.

Are we allowed to comment on who else is in court on the back row?

Probably not but I'll put a fiver down on a golden labrador in a crochet jumper.

I haven't got pin view

Hold down the box with Ben in and it will give you an option to pin.

There is a cracking back row behind AB and BC - Maya, Jo Cherry, the Bev from LGBA.

Anyone know how to make the main screen bigger?

I tapped that picture and selected "pin".

Along the top line, click view and change it to whatever you want.
