On this day, one year ago, the Supreme Court ruled that the meaning of ‘sex’ in the Equality Act corresponds to sex assigned at birth.

The judgement severely restricted the scope of legal gender recognition and has not produced any improvement in women’s lives.

hungarians have a chance to reverse rights rollback

hungarians have a chance to reverse rights rollback

It's been 16 years of a government intent on ignoring human rights and dismantling the rule of law.

On Sunday, the majority voted for change.

Now, Hungarians can keep the momentum and hold the new government accountable, so that everyone's human rights are at the centre of all government policies.

This will have a disastrous impact on many vulnerable people who need this support to survive.

Poverty is not an accident. It has been engineered into our society by political choice.

We need a social security system based on human rights that ensures everyone has enough to live with dignity.

And there's more bad news... changes to Universal Credit today mean that support for people who are disabled or have a health condition will be drastically reduced.

Those claiming Universal Credit for the first time will only get half of what people currently get - around £2,550 less per year.

With 4 million children living in poverty in the UK, lifting the two-child limit still doesn’t go far enough.

The UK Government need to end all policies that are keeping children in poverty, such as the benefit cap and sanctions.

However, in recent years these hard won rights have been eroded. Many in power and the media have used trans people as a political football.

This is an emergency. We must come together to defend the rights and freedoms of trans people.

On Saturday, half a million people came together not just to march against the far-right.

But for a different type of society based on unity, respect and where we do what we did on the weekend: turn up to support each other.

Thank you Imran Yusuf for telling us what Saturday's march meant to him.

These appalling acts of violence should have no place in our society. They are not isolated incidents but part of a deeply troubling rise in antisemitism & hate crime more broadly. In recent years, the UK has seen thousands of antisemitic incidents annually, with levels remaining near record highs.

We stand together against antisemitism in all its forms whether it appears as violence, vandalism, abuse or rhetoric.

Our thoughts are with the Jewish community following the horrifying arson attack in Golders Green, where emergency vehicles serving the community were deliberately targeted. Such an attack - carried out against those who exist to save lives - is deeply shocking.
