I wanted to start a thread where any major decisions or outcomes and links to anyone live tweeting or online footage. See you back here tomorrow!

Judge: "I do not doubt that the ONS has the power to publish guidance on the census questionnaire. It is expedient for its functions. However, if guidance is given it must match with the meaning permitted by the act." /67

Whatever happens, sunlight is being shone like never before, and sunflowers will continue to grow in their multitudes.

Thank you again to all involved in this.💐

I've got a meeting in 5 minutes, COME ON!

I am more hopeful. I think he is saying that the ONS should ask for sex. It’s not a breach of a trans persons human rights.

The tea I'm drinking isn't strong enough for all this!! 😬

Ohhohhhh!!! I'm wetting myself here!

Judge: This meaning is not the sex someone has identified. I am satisfied that the guidance is wrong. It does not match the question being asked. /68

More promising....

I've given up trying to work, this is far more important

The guidance is wrong! He said it!!

I am glad we have confirmation that it is perfectly fine, under Article 8 of Human Rights Act, to ask someone what their sex is.

I think I have fainted, must remember to breathe
