A group called Equality Amplified (currently run by 3 white men) have started a petition to get Hilary Cass stripped of her peerage.

Yay! (Also note that H Harman is on the list 🙄)

There's a rumour that Harman will replace Baroness Falkner.

It's going to be a bumpy ride

Excellent news. Well deserved for the Cass Review alone, never mind the rest of her career.

I'm not keen on Sunak, but I think this might actually be a bit clever of him. Any legislation that the new Government put forward is going to have to be scrutinised by the Lords, so when the conversion therapy bill gets bounced up to them, she'll be able to submit amendments if it's inconsistent with her review.

Excellent. Well deserved.

I wonder if it will put a dent in the continuing efforts to undermine and discredit the Review.

Behave-of course not. These nutters are totally impervious to anything like evidence or proof.

Wonderful! This is absolutely great!

Great news about Hilary Cass, she’ll be a good addition. Ennobling Failing Grayling seems like a bizarre move though!

24hoursfromtulsa · 05/07/2024 22:17

Wonderful news 🥰

Skyellaskerry · 05/07/2024 09:39

Fantastic news!

Omlettes · 05/07/2024 03:10

I'm so happy for her. Very much deserved reward in this instance and a welcome addition to HOL.

Congratulations to her. How well deserved for those months of work.

er, it was actually four years work .

Lopine · 05/07/2024 00:34

Fantastic!

For us non-UK people, does this an honor and more or just an honor?

It’s a posh new name (Baroness) and a vote for life in our second chamber.

She’s going to be a crossbencher (so no party affiliation).

Excellent news. Her voice in this debate will be much needed.

senua · 04/07/2024 22:58

Excellent news and well deserved. Congratulations!

DrSoupDragonsFriend · 04/07/2024 22:51

Congratulations Hilary Cass. That's excellent news.

PanderingShitwits · 04/07/2024 22:36

Well.done.

NoBinturongsHereMate · 04/07/2024 22:35

Good to start results night on a high. I fear it's all downhill from here but I'm delighted her work has been recognised this way - and that we'll keep her voice in the debate in future.

peanutbuttertoasty · 04/07/2024 22:34

Great! JKR next please!!!

KohlaParasaurus · 04/07/2024 22:32

That's excellent news. Well deserved.

RadicalisedPastThePointOfSalvation · 04/07/2024 22:31

It’s amazing where the money of Ron DeSantis will get you. (Yes some people outside the UK really thought he had funded her.)

On a more serious note, absolutely brilliant.

BonfireLady · 04/07/2024 22:27

👏👏👏👏
Very much needed, given what's about to unfold in the Commons.

LonginesPrime · 04/07/2024 22:20

Great news - although it's a shame Harriet Harman will be joining her.

PronounssheRa · 04/07/2024 22:15

That's brilliant news, she will be a great addition to HoL

Delphinium20 · 04/07/2024 22:01

For us non-UK people, does this an honor and more or just an honor?

She gets a seat (and vote) in the House of Lords
