    It’s simply bizarre that Labour have chosen this hill to die on. After the SC ruling, Labour should have come out and said: that given the ambiguity in the law has been resolved but in a way that doesn’t account for trans people, we will be bringing forward updated legislation to close the gap. Sort of like the whole Civil Partnership vs Marriage idiocy.

    The basic principle should be: don’t be a cunt. And then work from there.

      This would make sense if Labour weren’t a copy of the Tories, and Starmer wasn’t elected because he was another hard right figurehead running when people were upset with Tories for letting too many BAME and female people into top spots.

      In short, if you want any sort of human rights then blue and red are off the table. Have been since Corbyn was purged.
