Equalities minister says Government is now challenging ‘activist groups’ like Stonewall after it got on the ‘wrong track on gender ideology’

Keir is not a change candidate, he's gone out of his way to push that message.

His promises largely consist of "We'll deliver the things the Tories are promising, but failing to deliver, with a few tweaks". Right now, my vote is for a candidate committed to delivering real change. It's tough, because I actually like our local Labour MP whose clearly not onboard with Kier's agenda. I can't see him being useful, practically, with a landslide majority

Well I think that’s exactly what this country needs, a new elite. The only thing that can replace a ruling elite is a new elite. Change is always top down, even when it appears to come from a grass roots.

What exactly is there left to conservative anymore? There is plenty that needs restoring but conserving the status quo that now exists after 13 years of Tory rule? No thanks. Count me out, I’m lossy voting Labour just to see the conservatives get wreaked.

There’ll be nothing between Labour and the institutions in terms of pro gender ideology

Good luck to those who want it. They’ll make it harder.

This is an example of precisely the sort of burn-it-all-down attitude that is intensely anti-conservative. Justice for ordinary people never comes from tearing down everything - all we get is the chaos while the fire starters set themselves up as the new elite.

Tories are liberal shitlibs in my opinion. Because they bow to the vile morality of the left. The still work inside the same basic moral framework of labour. I think we need a right wing party that rejects the lefts moral compass in its entirety.

The Tories are "American right-wing" at the moment. They threw out all the old style Tories during Brexit (the ones who valued tradition and institutions), and I completely agree with the people who have been pointing out that Kemi is only emboldened to say they've got the gender/sex/self-ID stuff wrong after over a decade in charge because she can see they really have nothing left to lose now, so she might as well.

If Labour wins, we will be right where we are right now, having to lobby and work and chip away at digging out gender ideology from our institutions in the name of TRUE civil liberties and balanced rights for society. If the Tories win, same thing. Belt up people, we're. It out of the woods and hoping for Kemi or anyone else to ride to our rescue is naive.

So they decide this just before it looks like they’re going to lose an election and be kicked out of office.

the Tories party needs utterly wreaked in my opinion so it can be replaced by a properly conservative and right wing party, or be reformed from within to be one. But we will never have a proper right wing party under FPTP while the Tories are one half of the political spectrum so I will welcome their defeat if it happens, I just hope it’s big enough. The phrase to little too late comes to mind when I think of the Tories.

That's reassuring to hear. It was inevitable that when schools stop & think about what the dodgy lobby groups have been demanding - especially those going as far as transitioning children in secret from their parents - that professional instincts will start to kick in. They'll be aware that (as Cass reminded us) that for the majority of children this is a phase. And a close look at the remaining mentally unwell children who're caught up in the extremes demanding binders, drugs & surgery will reinforce that this a a dangerous ideology for any school to push at children.

But it's taking so long for schools to step out from under the yoke of Stonewall, Gendered Intelligence, Global Butterflies, Mermaids, GIRES & countless other adult groups determined to access children. Until that happens ideology will continue to overcome safeguarding and professional standards.

In schools there is a tentative move to question a bit more, less acceptable to say mermaids, less likely to be threatened with the sack if something non affirmative of the ideology comes out.

Yep people care, they are speaking up, court cases are happening. Courage calls to courage and all. I speak out and most people agree that it is a big issue

Obviously Starmer is still untrustworthy but I’m dubious about anyone posting no one cares on here when I can see politicians reacting to those who take the time to care

Sure there is.

Look at Starmer’s shift after Sturgeon Bryson debacle

Absolutely no thanks to those who posted ‘no one cares’

And thanks to those who challenged and showed how there can be political hurt

I’m not letting people off the hook yet

We’ve got Kemi going for it, and each post saying don’t bother isn’t for me.

Public demand changes outcomes, we’re already seeing it but it’s slow

Well let’s give it a go and see.

Why do you say they wouldn’t win?

I watched the debate and Labour were majority TWAW but Cons MPs were majority for biological sex

Where are the wider numbers coming from?

Yes and the law backing them with the GRA

Gravy train

They’ll fight hard to keep it

They’ve got the perfect grift, government councils business and NHS are funding them

Just listening to something along these lines on the radio on the way home. It is very sinister that Stonewall have achieved so much power. I wonder who is funding them?

I hope, that once they stop listening, they will have the spine to realise that nothing can actually happen to them.

That they are the ones in charge.

And that if they say something definitive and strong, and full of common sense, the pushback from places like Stonewall looks more and more ridiculous.

And if they point out the perfectly-fucking-obvious-to-everybody-else, safeguarding failures, pushback will look like exactly what it is, a deliberate disregard for safeguarding.

And as we all know, once you see it...

They just need to get the ball rolling.

She's making the first noises about identifying and addressing political capture as a safeguarding issue, in a way that will not frighten the horses.

Yes, this is exactly where it needs to go. Government outsourcing thinking and being trained by extremist political groups is a huge, huge safeguarding disaster and it shouldn't have been able to happen.
