For more than three months, Ms Phillipson has stalled in publishing draft guidance from the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC). Those 300 pages, efficiently produced after the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling in April, explain in detail how businesses and public bodies can ensure they comply with their legal duties under the Equality Act. The Supreme Court determined that UK equality law protected women on the basis of their sex, not their gender identity. Upholding women’s existing legal rights therefore requires that where services and spaces are provided to men and women separately, they must be administered on the basis of biology — meaning sex, not gender.

A quite demented Leader column published today by The Times.

First, this in which it says that the Supreme Court decision mandated that single sex spaces be divided on the basis of "biology" not gender.

Image with a quote from D's mother that reads "I was raised as a South Asian woman to believe my rights were equal to any man's. Yet I found myself trapped by a sexual predator. The UK family court's refusal to free my child from the name of the man who raped and abused her mother is not a rare injustice - it is a systemic one"

CW: Sexual assault

The ruling forcing a child to carry the surname of the the man who raped her mother could harm her for life.

We can't let it stand - but we need your help to fight it. To support this case 👇

In amongst all the excitement I fear many have missed this outstanding bit of trolling by Friedrich Merz.

The Chancellor gifted Trump a gilded framed copy of his grandfather’s German birth certificate... reminding Americans that Trump is both the child and grandchild of migrants.
