BC Setting out AB's Case

Probably not but I'll put a fiver down on a golden labrador in a crochet jumper.

Kirren Metcalf, Stonewalls head of trans inclusion (of support dog fame) sent an email complaining about AB's tweets.

In case it has been missed, Tribunal Tweets were granted permission to live tweet. Ben is currently summarising the findings of the original hearing.

I think this was the other way round, Didn't Michelle Brewer contact a stonewall employee (while destroying a bin) and suggest that they all complain about AB's tweets?

It feels a very long time ago now doesn’t if it lots of different ways

Could anyone tell me where the tribunal is being held? Going to try to make it in-person this afternoon.

Employment Appeal Tribunal, 7 Rolls Buildings, Fetter Ln, London EC4A 1NL

Be aware the room is not big, and all the observers are clearly visible on camera.

Best of luck today, Allison.

Thanks so much🙌

I think the focus is on Alison vs Stonewall as that is the appeal.

BC is clear he is not submitting additional evidence but setting out why the ET reached the decision it did when it also stated Stonewall had influenced(?) GCC.

My emotional support cat is not being very helpful and is currently hiding under a blanket.

I might not make it through the morning.

Mine are sulking at the rain and making general nuisances of themselves.

Eileen Gallagher next to Bev?

My support dog is napping having been for a very very long walk this morning so that I could observe in peace. Poor lamb doesn't know what's hit him.

I had forgotten about TELI

Good luck Allison. My emotional support cat has expressed his stress levels by vomming on the carpet. Maybe he needs an emotional support mouse.

Same. Knocked stuff off the side and actually huffed at me. 😂

Who's the lady with the red hair.

I think she's from FILIA?

I think I prefer the Teams version.

I did miss the WFTCHTJ message, though.

She looks familiar.
