The Labour Party’s women’s conference on 26/9/26 was an embarrassing farce, with only 200 delegates of the 1,000 normal attendance (no major unions) in protest of the Labour Party’s shameful abandonment of trans people following the legally absurd ruling of the Supreme Court in FWS in April 2025.

Fact checking Farage’s claim that Reform are ‘comfortably at the top of the opinion polls ’ amongst male gay and trans voters….
Firstly, to fact check the claims being made about Reform's popularity within the queer community: A recent poll did find Reform is the most popular party amongst male gay and bisexual voters. However, only 25% of this group said they would vote Reform, which means the vast majority - 75% - would not.
Incidentally, amongst gay and bisexual women, the Green Party are currently twice as popular, polling at around 50%.
As for the claim that Reform is favoured amongst trans people - According to YouGov, there is no large-scale, published voting intention polls exclusively dedicated to the demographic of transgender voters in the UK.
Far be it from me to suggest that Farage is just saying whatever occurs to him without any foundation in data or observable reality, but given Reform's stance on trans rights is even more draconian than Labour's, I do find the assertion of their popularity amongst this group hard to countenance.

During the Select Committee Rebecca Paul MP stated that "Women and girls have lost medals and podium places, earnings, and some may have even been injured due to sporting bodies not complying with the Equality Act and allowing males to compete against them." We have asked her for evidence
[...]
As this is a serious allegation, made in a parliamentary setting and presented as a statement of fact, we would be grateful if you could provide the evidence on which this claim is based.

Specifically, we would welcome details of:

• The instances in which women or girls have demonstrably lost medals or podium positions as a result of sporting bodies acting unlawfully or in breach of the Equality Act.

• The evidence that women or girls have suffered financial losses or lost earnings as a consequence of sporting bodies failing to comply with the Equality Act.

• The cases to which you were referring when you stated that women or girls "may have even been injured" due to sporting bodies not complying with the Equality Act.

• Any assessments, reports, legal findings, regulatory decisions, governing body investigations, or other evidence that support the assertion that sporting organisations have failed to comply with the Equality Act in the manner described.

We note that there is a significant difference between arguing that sporting bodies should adopt a particular policy and alleging that they have acted unlawfully. Your statement appeared to make the latter claim.

Given the seriousness of the allegation, and the fact that it was made during a parliamentary committee session, we believe it is reasonable to ask for the evidential basis underpinning it.

We would therefore appreciate any sources, data, case studies, legal decisions, or other material that informed your remarks.

If the statement was intended to reflect a general concern rather than specific evidenced cases of non-compliance with the Equality Act, we would be grateful if you could clarify this distinction...

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 thecontinual 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
