'Thank you to the Prime Minister for his unequivocal support today on ensuring women’s prisons only house biological females.'

Thank you Rebecca Paul.

Bring it, Starmer.

Good.

He did only say he'd look into it, but he also said the SC judgement must be upheld.

Make it so!

"In full and at all levels."

Interesting. Not much weasel room there that I can see. Or am I being hopelessly naive?

Well done Rebecca! One of the very few decent members of the WESC.

Shout out Rebecca Paul! There's absolutely no reason why males should be housed with female prisoners, there never has been.

Rebecca Paul Tory MP has been plugging away at this for a very long time

Well done Rebecca Paul. Starmer's likely to find it a challenge given how embedded extreme transactivists are in the Home Office, the MoJ and the Prison Service.
But good to see him stating that the SC judgment must be implemented now. Wonder whether the BBC will report his comments ? 🤔

Bravo Rebecca Paul.

I wish I believed a word Starmer said, but I'll hope hard on this one.

I suspect Starmer can feel Wes Streeting snapping at his heels. Wes came over to the right side of history some time ago.

Listening to the news today, the BBC has been overjoyed to dump reporting just about everything to focus its reporting on The Plot Against Starmer.

Ignoring a possible £1Bn lawsuit is a bold move but perhaps if they pretend it doesn't exist, Trump will just forget about it.

It doesnt matter how many useless.idiots are in the WESC, so long as the sensible ones are effective.

I believe Starmer has his fingers crossed every time he opens his mouth.

I'm fairly sure that the Home Secretary could ensure this tomorrow if Starmer told them to sort this shit out. Why hasn't Starmer and the Home Secretary done that already? We already have the SC ruling.

What's with all the feet dragging?

Are they scared that they'll get sued for it - whilst simultaneously doing this thing that seems to be common in assuming that all the women affected by these males won't?

Cos this is where we are. Nothing is actually being DONE. We have a lot of hot air but fuck all action that should have been done yesterday and a climate which STILL panders to the 'risk' of males suing and the underlying assumption that women will just lie down and take it in the meantime.

Why the fuck isn't this dynamic being pointed out for the abhorently sexist pile of crap it is where the default is that women are expected to put up and shut up?

Oh wait...

...who was the previous Home Secretary who has only recently left her job?

Oh yes that would be Yvette Balls. Sorry Cooper.

Except if we believe the rumours we have a fairly large conflict of interests on this subject going on.

I look forward to Starmer actively supporting female people to be protected in prison. It feels like deja vu though having a PM that says that they support female only prisons.

Aren't prisons the Justice Secretary's remit, not the Home Secretary? If Shabana Mahmood didn't get it sorted I have even less faith that David Lammy will.

You can see why she didn't double-barrel her name, can't you.

The Starmer who firmly said that 99% of women don't have a Penis? With the air of someone who had sorted the issue once and for all.

I'd like to see women who have been incarcerated with males sue for compensation. Men in Scotland got it for 'slopping out' - having bucket toilets - so women should damn well get compensation for being locked up in mixed sex prisons.

Yes. That may help focus minds, too.
