Written statement at 2.30pm today: First Anniversary of the FWS v SM ruling

[Forresty]

Just pointing this out, separate from any threads it may have been mentioned on, so people not involved on those threads can be aware.

Does anyone know where/when it will be published?

It is such a deflection to say more women are attacked in the home

Maybe so, but we still need to protect women outside the home

[Libdem sits down and rubs her nose. There was a lot of nose rubbing. Maybe the sniffle us what made her talk so fast]

Can't stand this one. I joined the wrong queue a few months ago (wanted the bar, joined the queue for the gents') and within five seconds someone explained to me I was in the wrong queue. No genital inspection or anything. How did he know I'm female??? It's so impossible to tell! It's such private information!!!

Claire Coutinho now, who is ace 😍
Conservative MP and Shadow Minister (Equalities)

Another woman up know - thanking Darlington nurses and FWS. Shameful BP had to be shamed into meeting FWS. Deeply destructive and divisive . She talks really well. Tory I think?

Oh wow she's not pulling her punches. Love to see it

CC: if you argue for women's rights you get accused of being bigoted

Yessss!

Thank you, she.is excellent.

If you stand up for women and gurls you are labelled a bigot. This religion of/hierarchy of diversity is harming women and girls. (She's talking also about the Southport victims) - CC

The final word will go to Olivia Bailey, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Education) (Equalities).

She was shit on GMB a few days ago, so expect more waffling.

CC: Labour ministers are stalling because they're too scared of upsetting activists on their own side.
Meanwhile women suffer.
Darlington nurses, Jennifer Melle etc.
Women and girls are being denied their rights on a daily basis

Befire minister.tries.to fob us off - they announced about potholes.yesterday! Plenty of announcements. Just another.excuse. They stall and women suffer. Mentions Sandie Peggie and the other nurses. Men in ERCC. Female prisoners. Orgs are failing to comply. Women are denied their rights daily. This is cowardice. We deserve better.

Claire C's speech is really excellent.
Women and girls deserve better.

Why did it take months for govt to submit a narrow range of commments and what where they? Did Bp instruct guidance to be toned down? What resources for EGRC will help enforce? When will code be laid?

Its that woman now. Olivia thingummy.

Nice suit.

Olivia Bailey was responsible for the no-platforming of Julie Bindel when she was with the NUS.
(Another Labour MP who has never had a real job).

Basic govt pablum. Single sex spaces. Respect and protect. Etc. Anxiety by trans community deeply concerned.

She has the intonation of a train platform announcer.

We will lay the code in May after local elections

Lay code in May. Workplaces. Seek legal advice. Crystal clear.

I've just read an X/Tweet from Sex Matters. It explains that the provisions of the 2006 Equalities Act give responsibility for producing guidance to the EHRC. There is no provision for ministers to amend the draft. Yet Bridget Phillipson has amended it. What we need now is a push for the changes to be published and a case to be brought against her.

I suspect as someone has already said this is an exercise in massaging the message, not an attempt to ignore the ruling. The ruling is the ruling, and it is the law.

Its the hokey cokey libdem lady

“All government departments are complying with the law”.

Oh no they aren’t Olivia!

The May elections are local elections, not Parliamentary, so Phillipson is not in any danger of losing her seat between now and then.
