In the words of Trina Budge, just now -

“whatever happens, win or lose, the fight goes on”

Me too 💜💚

It's started but the preceding judgment, I think?

This.

and bloody hell, this is exactly the sort of thing that will recruit thousands

Thank you @Lark1ane. Very gracious of you.

They're on.
It looks like it'll be another half hour or so while they hand down some other judgements first.

a battle lost but a war to be won.

Yes, and now at least the general public know there is a war on. They didn't before. I would be surprised if Sandie Peggie or the Darlington nurses gave the issue much thought until men started barging into their changing rooms.

I’m really confused. I have a judge talking about the NHS

Yes this is the judgement on confidentiality injunctions, involving parents of sick children. FWS will follow.

Oh that explains my confusion 😊

Me too Inks

Maya F said some time after 10 for the judgement

That is the one - I found it a bit irritating that the commentators were almost entirely male speaking about women's issues (especially pregnancy and maternity policies). However on the whole it is a really useful investigation

Thank you. It’s the first time I’ve watched live

Thanks pps for clearing that up. I was scratching my head wondering how this was all connected!!

Fingers crossed for some clarity and sanity in this judgement.

Me three! 😬

Gives us all time for one more pee and a quick trip to the kettle/alcohol!

I feel sick. I know it's not the end even if it goes against FWS, but I'm so bloody angry we're in this position in the first place.

This on the bbc Web site
"Both sides say they are in the dark about the outcome; there has been no sneak peek under embargo even for the groups who brought the case."
I think that's unusual.

on now

Here we go

Here goes

This is it.

As always, it's illuminating to read reddit. Their lack of basic understanding around the issues is astounding.
