I'm not sure if there's anything new here though

Phillipson blocks trans guidance after landmark Supreme Court ruling https://share.google/P91PBE5Cy4ROwsdA1

It's a very stark article in the Telegraph.

Tom Harris (who has turned out to be a sound ally) gives his view:
On women's rights, the government must be judged by its deeds, not its words

LGBTQ2SAGP+ 😂

Such is obvious to almost everyone in the country, but to ministers in this government, and to the usual suspects on the Marxist Left, from whom we should expect no better, the priority is to assuage the entitlement of a small group of men who claim to identify as women and who see women’s spaces as their own God-given territory.

No, Tom. Excellent article, but you're only half way to the summit. It's not the spaces seen as God-given territory - or something that handmaidens (male and female ones) feel entitled from their position of superiority to hand over to these men like pimps on a street corner. It's women. And Philipson et al are setting out to destroy those women's right to resist, to withhold consent, to make their access to public services conditional upon providing an undressed body for the gratification of whatever man claims it . Exactly what that gratification happens to be is up to him; Bridgetson doesn't care. She apparently doesn't think it matters. If he breaks her too much in his enjoyment of her she can....

well. Be another statistic in the VAWG failures of policing and court and government. But they'll scold boys reproachfully in school so that's all right.

She has lied and lied. Brazenly.

All this about 'time to look carefully' was manipulating decent people into permitting space for her to find ways to fuck women over and work against the law she is in post to uphold.

I have no words for the depths of disgust I hold at this point, but come back Boris and the Covid parties and that muppet who should have gone to spec savers, at this point they look like the more honest option.

We really need to learn here women: time is the weapon.

Give them time to fuck about and they will, without conscience. Never permit time. Or anything else you would permit to a decent, reasonable person capable of joining you in a reciprocal social contract.

selffellatingouroborosofhate · 19/12/2025 13:50

Some claim that it is hypocritical for a woman to nip into the gents when the alternative is wetting herself in the queue, if she then complains about men coming into the women's loos.

Her behaviour is, in fact, a consequence of a failure to provision enough toilets for women in the first place. Legislation should mandate more toilets for women, not allow men into the insufficient loos that we have.

Labour are being shysters and then wondering why their poll rating drops.

That was a lot of words to say “When I do it it’s ok but I hate it when others do.”

Read it again. Don't bother commenting again until you've understood it.

OpheliaWitchoftheWoods · 19/12/2025 13:52

Labour seem to be involved in some massive breakdown on the scale of Big Sond. The only people they seem to manage to give the faintest fuck about is cross dressing men.

This is not a large electorate.

There's a fucking enormous coalition of groups of the populace at the moment who are bloody furious though.

I don't think Bridget is actually that dim. She just pretends to be.

Reminds me of John Gielgud's exhortation to a young actor: 'Never pause in the West end!'

lifeturnsonadime · 19/12/2025 13:58

Absolutely disgraceful.

They're a bunch of hypocrites talking about tackling misogyny while destroying women's rights.

Hesse · 19/12/2025 13:59

“Never pause in the West End. I paused many, many years ago, and during the silence, I heard a voice from the third row go, 'Oh, you hideous beast! You've just come all over my umbrella!'"

Protect the dolls umbrellas.

It’s quite clear given BPs comments around children educated in private schools that she is wholly driven by ideological bandwagons.

IdaGlossop · 19/12/2025 14:12

Labour is moving in a dangerous direction. In less than a month, we have had the following:

  • cancellation of local elections, removing a central right of democracies
  • removal of right to jury trial for some elections
  • sentencing rights granted to magistrates with no right of appeal, removing the a right of citizens
  • a definition of Islamaphobia agreed, restricting free speech
  • arrest of a woman quietly praying on the perimeter of the exclusion zone around an abortion clinic, a restriction on the right to protest
  • failing to respect a Supreme Court ruling on single sex spaces, undermining the rights of biological women

Is anyone in No. 10 looking at what the government is doing in the round, and seeing that the rights of citizens are being eroded while power transfers to the state?

LadyBlakeneysHanky · 19/12/2025 14:13

Why do some women want to facilitate male exploitation and sex-motivated abuse of women? Seriously, why?

In this case, does Philippson hope ultimately to achieve some sort of financial advantage by making women into an all-you-can-perv smorgasbord for porn drunk men? (Some lucrative post-office appointment to a think tank, for instance?) Is that what drives her selling out other less privileged women?

If not, what does motivate this?

I really can’t believe she’s doing it it on principle (‘be kind’ 🤢) because let’s face it the only principle motivating anyone at all in Starmer’s coterie of grotesque corrupt freeloaders is the principle of self-enrichment. (A propos of which, ‘The Fraud’ by Paul Holden is a great read on the Starmer Projects’s lies and lawlessness. It’s from the left pov but should horrify anyone of whatever political hue who believes in the rule of law and representative democracy.)

Removing right to jury trial for some cases, not elections! Apologies. Spotted too late to edit.

SionnachRuadh · 19/12/2025 14:23

I think the thing is that we're in a tangible end-of-regime period, with a feckless governing class that's got no real interest in governing, only in managing the narrative. And it can't even manage the narrative, it's still living in an analogue world where Morgan McSweeney talks to Lewis Goodall and a story gets dropped in the Times or Newsnight and everyone believes it.

It isn't a dictatorship, but it's got a definite streak of comic opera authoritarianism. And the UK isn't unique in this, Germany has a government that can't solve its energy crisis but is hauling pensioners before the courts for dangerous anti-democratic crimes like tweeting the poo emoji at Green Party leaders.

So we've got the Supreme Court saying what the law is, the statutory regulator producing detailed guidance on how to apply the law, and the guidance is gathering dust and/or being gutted, simply because Bridget Phillipson fancies her chances as a leadership candidate when Labour finally get rid of Britpop Erich Honecker.

Yes, and saying "everything is going to plan". This outcome is intentional.

How do you conclude that everything is going according to plan when Labour's poll ratings are so dire? I think you are over-generous in believing that there is a plan.

ScrollingLeaves · 19/12/2025 14:44

I tried to post the video evidence of Bridget Phillipson lying to Parliament 7 months ago, but the link I tried did not seem to work

In it she says:

This government will continue as before. Working to protect single sex spaces based on biological sex, now with the added clarity of this ruling.

Lie #1
’as before’. No they certainly were not work ing to protect single sex spaces based on biological sex before.

Lie#2
’protect single sex spaces based on biological sex now with the added clarity of the ruling.’
No she is not protecting them. She has been working behind the scenes over the last seven months trying to block the ruling and it’s very clarity.

She is also responsible for removing the child safeguarding from trans activism in schools which the Conservatives had put in place in their draft guidance.

TheywontletmehavethenameIwant · 19/12/2025 14:46

I wonder what sort of response the Mumsnet poll below this thread is getting. 😂

On balance, how do you feel about the labour government at the moment?
Very positive
Quite positive
Neutral
Quite negative
Very negative

If we look back to Tony Blair or Margaret Thatcher we knew (broadly) what they stood for and what they wanted to achieve as Prime Minister. You might (very, very strongly) disagree, but their world view was clear.

What does Starmer stand for? What are his core values and uncrossable lines? Does he have any? Why did he want to be PM, is it just the ego trip of being in the top job?

Starmer is happy and confident when dealing with international issues. But the moment he looks inward to his own country he seems to deflate, wobble and lose all rationality and courage. It's bizarre.

His Spads should truth-bomb him:

  • Stop being weak and ineffectual
  • The PM is meant to lead, not be liked
  • Free Speech and Rule of Law are core British values. Abandon them and the voters will abandon you
  • Sack Phillipson. Do it now. Flashes of ruthlessness, as and when needed, is very beguiling. Make the backbenchers fear your wrath
  • Promote Tonia Antoniazzi. She has the resilience to deliver VAWG policies including the new EHRC Code of Practice

These are the Christmas presents the British public really really wants. Make them happy!
