Telegraph today:

”The first ever Mumsnet “manifesto” is urging the next government to define what a woman isin the Equality Act.
The popular online forum released a 25-page document on Friday which it said represented the chief concerns expressed by its nine million users over the past four-and-a-half years.
It has 12 asks of the incoming administration after July 4, including to “guarantee access to single-sex spaces” for women by reforming the 2010 Equality Act.”

Is it based on the survey that MNHQ did recently asking what our big issues for the election were? If that's what a lot of us said then they'd include it.

Good to see, although I would also have like to have seen something about protecting children from the harms of trans ideology.
