Page 14 | In quite the turnaround Scottish Labour say the support Sandie Peggie, and would not support the GRR bill "knowing what they know now"!

Golden bridges, folks. We know it's only Trump and the threat of Farage but it's still an improvement.

Meant to quote this one.

Yep, was just going to say the same.
Although for some reason I keep wanting to call it a Rainbow Bridge
Why would that be I wonder?

Excellent! I thought they were going to get away with trying to block any discussion of this at Holyrood today.

Fuck me, that's quite the U-y. Do they think we don't have a collective memory?

I need to go through my emails at the time and remind them of what they replied when I laid out for them what the GRR entailed.

My goodness. Some pants appear to be alight.

What is different now? What do they know now that they didn't know then?

That gender identity ideology and its effects are hugely unpopular and their support for it makes them look bad.

Of course, as above, they would have known that then if they'd listened for 30 seconds.

Here's a useful acronym, 'going forward' - SSSBOBS!😄

Well well well. 4.31 of reverse weaseling.

if only somebody, somewhere, somehow had in any way even slightly intimated that the GRR Bill might, just might, be in conflict with the Equality Act, none of this ...unpleasantness would have happened and we would of course have staunchly defended single sex spaces based on biological sex.😇
But nobody ever said anything about it, so how were we to know...?

No, it didn't occur to anyone at all. Everyone is completely astonished by the completely unpredictable turn of events.

FFS. What is different now? It's not as if they weren't told over and over again what the consequences would be. 🙄

It’s absolutely shocking. I lay a lot of the blame for Labour’s position on Pam Duncan-Glancy. Speaking from personal experience, she appeared to drive much of the party’s direction on the bill and had no interest in properly listening to those of us who had very valid concerns.
