I don't know that I feel more violated having their literature than, say, #Starmer or #Phillipson or #Streeting or #Sarwar spreading lies about trans people whenever I turn on the radio or fire up the computer. But YMMMV.

A point to consider, though, is that the current rules on access to the electoral register allow parties not funded by tech bros and financial services to function on a bit of level playing field, e.g. (where canvassing is concerned).

@GeofCox I share @benofbrown's caution.

#BridgetPhillipson's track record on #trans rights is atrocious. If #Phillipson wanted to support trans people, the simple remedy would be to pass a one-sentence amendment to the #EA2010 making a GRC define sex in the EA as it does elsewhere. The #UKSC ruling in #FWS would be redundant.

This intervention marks a useful but small retreat from the #EHRC's extremist #transExclusion agenda. Phillipson just wants to crap on us less crudely.

Yesterday, #UK Equalities Minister #BridgetPhillipson issued a sharp public rebuke to #EHRC chair #KrisherFalkner's aggression. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2025/nov/04/bridget-phillipson-public-debate-ehrc-gender-recognition

It seems that govt-EHRC relations have almost broken down. I don't want to read too much into this. I believe that the #Starmer crew still intends to sacrifice #trans people to the rightwing lynch mobs.

But there is now some small hope that #Phillipson may draw back slightly from the most exteremist #TERF demands. But this may just be optics 🤔
