Just pointing this out, separate from any threads it may have been mentioned on, so people not involved on those threads can be aware.

Does anyone know where/when it will be published?

Thanks again, MissGendering, that was a (s)heroic transcribing marathon. Shout-out to TheNoWord for the expert identification of the speakers, too.

Trans people deserve to live love laugh. Ban on conversion practises.Brady review. Adding sex and gender to hate crime aggravator.

MissGendering · 14/04/2026 15:55

Bla bla bla. Vital we take time needed. If code is approved, will be laid before parliament.

Reassure members govt has been crystal clear and is very stern that employers must seek legal advice.

MissGendering · 14/04/2026 15:53

Aaaand its a party political broadcast

"We are committed to protecting single sex spaces"

MissGendering · 14/04/2026 15:52

Olivia. Welcomes visitors. Wpmens voices rights and spaces.must be respected. This has been a priority. Tirelssly working. Determined to uphold law. Committed to rights of women.

Now bringing up Tory failings.

"We have been working tirelessly on giving this matter the attention it needs"

Raquelos · 14/04/2026 15:52

True, tragically!

So, various things can/will happen with the Code of Practice in May re its laying before Parliament:

  • Phillipson loses her seat - not her problem any more

  • Phillipson retains her seat, but is reshuffled to a different role - not her problem any more

  • Phillipson retains her seat, is not reshuffled - now it's still her problem

  • Phillipson retains her seat, gets involved in (another) leadership bid - kicks problem down the road again

It's all so cynical 🙄

The May elections are local elections, not Parliamentary, so Phillipson is not in any danger of losing her seat between now and then.

TheNoWord · 14/04/2026 15:51

“All government departments are complying with the law”.

Oh no they aren’t Olivia!

MissGendering · 14/04/2026 15:51

Its the hokey cokey libdem lady

Shortshriftandlethal · 14/04/2026 15:51

I suspect as someone has already said this is an exercise in massaging the message, not an attempt to ignore the ruling. The ruling is the ruling, and it is the law.

IdaGlossop · 14/04/2026 15:51

I've just read an X/Tweet from Sex Matters. It explains that the provisions of the 2006 Equalities Act give responsibility for producing guidance to the EHRC. There is no provision for ministers to amend the draft. Yet Bridget Phillipson has amended it. What we need now is a push for the changes to be published and a case to be brought against her.

MissGendering · 14/04/2026 15:50

Lay code in May. Workplaces. Seek legal advice. Crystal clear.

GreyskySexRealistsky · 14/04/2026 15:50

We will lay the code in May after local elections

MissGendering · 14/04/2026 15:50

She has the intonation of a train platform announcer.

MissGendering · 14/04/2026 15:49

Basic govt pablum. Single sex spaces. Respect and protect. Etc. Anxiety by trans community deeply concerned.

TheNoWord · 14/04/2026 15:48

Olivia Bailey was responsible for the no-platforming of Julie Bindel when she was with the NUS.
(Another Labour MP who has never had a real job).

MissGendering · 14/04/2026 15:48

Nice suit.

MissGendering · 14/04/2026 15:48

Its that woman now. Olivia thingummy.

MissGendering · 14/04/2026 15:48

Why did it take months for govt to submit a narrow range of commments and what where they? Did Bp instruct guidance to be toned down? What resources for EGRC will help enforce? When will code be laid?
