Interesting that #Phillipson appears to rebuke #EHRC as rabid outgoing chair #Falkner urges government to go faster in further undermining #trans rights.

Rabid transphobe #Falkner to be replaced as #EHRC chair by - another transphobe. But MPs' concerns appear to be about her experience "in the area of protected characteristics such as race and disability" with no reference to her views on #trans rights.

I can see #Starmer throwing #Phillipson and #Falkner under the bus and trying to walk it back a little, claiming he was nisinformed. It might be the least embarassing move. But then again he does have the political instincts of a wombat.

Question!
Baroness Kishwer Falkner was appointed as chair of the EHRC in February 2021, so just over four years ago. When does her term end, and can it be terminated early?

Baroness Falkner was appointed as chair, along with four others by Liz Truss which says a lot.

Here is what Wikipedia says about Falkner.

Falkner and the EHRC under her leadership have come under criticism from trans and other LGBTIQ+ organisations following comments she made in May 2021 to The Times, in which she said that women had the right to question transgender identity without fear of abuse, stigmatisation or loss of employment.[16][17] Her predecessor as EHRC chair, David Isaac, said the commission was politicised by the Conservative Party during her tenure.[6][18] Several former and current staff members of EHRC described the public body as "transphobic," "anti-LGBT+" and an "enemy of human rights" during Falkner's tenure, and media reported that several staff members had resigned in protest of EHRC's "descent into transphobia."[5][4] However others defended Falkner including Janice Turner in The Times who said: "Falkner is accused of politicising the EHRC, yet in fact she is merely depoliticising her predecessor’s regime. Her first act was to withdraw the EHRC from the Stonewall Champions scheme, which had meant that under her predecessor David Isaac (ex-chairman of Stonewall) a government body whose core mission is to balance all human rights was following rules set by one lobby group alone."[19]

Wenn #Hörl und #Falkner was von Wissenschaft verstünden würden sie spätestens jetzt bei #Charlie in Wien anrufen, um die 1,5 Grad zu realisieren. Denen muss eigentlich angesichts solcher Berechnungen der Ars** auf Kunsteis gehen

Seriously, is nobody concerned that the head of the EHRC is a creationist?

It's the 21st Century - how can you be in charge of a non-governmental body and believe that human bodies were 'designed', for sex or anything else?!?
