What if every city stopped advertising pollution? From fast fashion to high-carbon products, advertising shapes what we see, what we normalise, and ultimately the choices we’re encouraged to make. Bristol has already taken action, becoming the first council to restrict fast-fashion advertising.

I've written to Health Secretary James Murray urging him to oppose the EHRC Code of Practice for services and associations before it comes into force. With Trans+ people facing rising hostility, ministers should be standing up for equality and everyone’s right to participate fully in public life. 🏳️‍⚧️

Letter to Health Secretary

Dear James,
Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) Code of Practice for service providers, public functions and associations
I am writing following your comments on the Today Programme last week. During the interview you stated that you had “changed your mind” and would no longer use the phrase “Trans women are women.” I am deeply troubled both by the timing of this public statement and by the message you are sending. As the minister responsible for policies affecting the healthcare and social care of Trans+ people, your words carry far more weight than a private opinion. By publicly rejecting language that Trans women use for themselves, many Trans girls and women will understandably hear you, as the minister responsible for their care, describing them as boys and men.

Your statement is not a neutral one. It is a deliberate choice made from a position of authority by someone with direct influence over the lives of Trans+ people. The issue is therefore not simply what you believe, but what your words signal and enable.

When a senior minister publicly withdraws recognition from a marginalised group, it risks legitimising exclusion, emboldening prejudice, and undermining confidence that public institutions will treat that group with
dignity and fairness. The impact of your words extends beyond Trans women and girls to the wider Trans+ community, many of whom will see your remarks as a signal that the government is unwilling to recognise and respect them.
Your statement comes at a time when many Trans+ people across the UK are already frightened and overwhelmed by the relentless politicisation of their lives and the

continual questioning of their place in society by those in positions of power. In that context, your remarks do not exist in isolation; they add to an increasingly hostile environment in which Trans+ people are made to feel that they, and their participation in society, is open to debate and that their dignity and rights are contingent on political approval by ministers who reject who they know themselves to be.
The EHRC Code of Practice for service providers and associations was laid before Parliament by the Minister for Women and Equalities on 21 May and will become statutory on 30 June unless Parliament rejects it.
I urge you to use your position within the government to oppose the Code and support its rejection. I am writing to you not only as a London Assembly Member, but on behalf of constituents who have contacted me in genuine fear and distress about what this guidance would mean for their lives.
The potential scale of exclusion is extraordinary. The government's own Equality Impact Assessment admits that it would have wide-ranging negative impacts on Trans people and that Trans women could face a "disproportionate risk of violence and sexual assault" in some circumstances. Even with this admission, the Government appears determined to press ahead.
This comes at a time when Trans and gender diverse people face growing hostility. Many Trans+ people already avoid accessing healthcare, participating in sport, or engaging in public life because they fear discrimination and exclusion as well as harassment or violence.
In London, transphobic hate crimes have more than doubled over the past five years one in four Trans people have experienced homelessness at some point in their lives and Transgender adults are also twice as likely to be unemployed as cisgender adults. 48 per cent of Trans adults have attempted suicide , while poor experiences within the healthcare system have led 57 per cent of Trans people to avoid seeking medical help even when they ar…

The guidance also normalises exclusion and encourages a culture of gender policing by asking people to make judgments about who can use which services based on physical appearance. The consequences of this will not be limited to Trans people, both cisgender and Transgender people may also face exclusion based on how others perceive them.
As an elected London representative, I am particularly concerned because London has the highest proportion of people in England whose gender identity differs from their sex recorded at birth. These are people in our community, work colleagues, friends and family members, who should be able to participate in public life without fear.
When Labour introduced the Gender Recognition Act in 2004, it promised Trans people the right to live with dignity. The updated EHRC Code of Practice for service providers and associations represents a complete rollback of that promise.
This is about Trans people's right to exist in society free from abuse, discrimination, and segregation, with the autonomy to be who they know themselves to be.
I urge you not to support this guidance and to speak out against it publicly.
Yours sincerely,

Caroline Russell
Green Party Member of the London Assembly

Following my doctor’s advice, I am taking some time away from work for health reasons. My office will be functioning as usual and my staff are there to support all my constituents who need help, so please don't hesitate to get in touch. See my full statement below.

I've worked in politics for over a decade: as a Councillor, for an MEP, as the Co-Leader of the Green Party, and now it is a privilege to serve as the MP for Bristol Central.

Over the last few years, I have been struggling with persistent health issues, and I have been trying to manage these alongside the long hours and significant responsibility my work entails. It has become clear that this is not an effective strategy and that doing so is inhibiting my ability to recover. Having taken advice from my doctor, I will be taking several weeks off in order to try to get back to full health.

I want to be open about the fact that what I am suffering from is burnout – and the mental and physical symptoms that arise from it. Burnout is a condition that does not tend to get better on its own. If left unmanaged, it can worsen and increase your risk of long-term health problems.

This is something that I know will be familiar to many people in all walks of life, especially those working in high-stress environments and in people-facing professions such as nurses, teachers and social workers. But it is also something that too often is not openly discussed. I hope that by sharing my own struggles, I can help in some small way to combat the stigma around it and contribute to a more open conversation.

Making the decision to take time off for my health was incredibly difficult. It is an honour to represent the people of Bristol Central. And I know that by stepping back for a little while now, I will ultimately be able to return as a better champion for the community that means so much to me. I am grateful for the kindness and understanding I know my constituents will show if they see me out and about while I am recovering.

I want to say a huge thank you to all of my colleagues in the Green Party, in Parliament and in my Constituency team for their understanding and support. I also want to thank Nadia Whittome MP for the leadership she showed in 2021 when she took a leave of a…
