The TRA's are having a melt down.
What good is a 3 month ban? Will this force Labour to say they'll keep it? Surely they said they'd implement the Cass review so I suppose they'll have to.

I'm not so hopeful.

I will be voting Labour in the GE, for lots of complicated reasons that I can't just ignore, but I feel like Labour will sweep it under the rug with a passage of time, or will use some other nefarious tactic to say since the ban yadda yadda yadda trans mental health has suffered.

I can't help but feel an impending sense of doom about this.

What about people like the webelies who are based outside the U.K.? She won’t go down without a fight. Too much £££££££ to loose.

Their prescriptions wouldn't be able to be fulfilled. Of course they could post the drugs but they risk being seized and we may be able to finger anyone sending banned drugs into the country.

Thank god the offshore ghouls are included, they should have been put a stop to long ago.

SofaThrow · 29/05/2024 22:47

It will be interesting to see what Labour do about this - quietly reinstate their use would be my guess.

So a 3 month ban. Also applies to Scotland.

Hurrah !!!! (common sense much needed up here)!

Ban covers overseas providers.

Presumably a permanent ban would require legislative change. The emergency power she has used will be to ensure no harm is done in the interim. This will fall to Labour to deal with if they win the election.

PaleBlueMoonlight · 29/05/2024 21:41

This is great news. She couldn't have done more given the election as ministers cannot take policy decisions that bind their successors, though can take urgent decisions.

I bet the Fox Killer is incandescent and planning yet another trawl of funding from the gullible for yet another lost case.

Good.

Good news

VA knows her time is almost up so this is a good thing she has done to safeguard children while still in office. Well done to her

Fantastic 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

PurpleSparkledPixie · 29/05/2024 20:52

Today I have taken bold action to protect children following the Cass Review, using emergency powers to ban puberty blockers for new treatments of gender dysphoria from private clinics and for all purposes from overseas prescribers into Great Britain.

That is amazing news!

Signalbox · 29/05/2024 20:45

This is such good news. Well done to Victoria Atkins.
