East Midlands Green Party statement of solidarity following the latest update to the EHRC's code of practice 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

We stand in solidarity with the trans community.

The EHRC’s proposed Code of Practice is a direct threat to the dignity, safety and participation of trans people in public life

On 21 May 2026, the Women and Equalities Minister, Bridget Phillipson, laid the EHRC’s updated Code of Practice before Parliament. If approved, it will shape how the Equality Act is applied across public services. MPs have until 30 June 2026 to oppose its implementation.

The draft Code encourages the exclusion of trans people from toilets, changing rooms, and other public spaces; legitimises invasive questioning and policing of people’s bodies and identities; pressures service providers to adopt exclusionary and segregationist policies; and would significantly increase the likelihood of trans people experiencing harassment, outing, and denial of services.

Taken together, these provisions represent an unprecedented rollback of the rights of the trans community. If implemented, the EHRC guidance would normalise discrimination in everyday life, undermine existing equality protections and create widespread confusion for organisations attempting to comply with the law.

The East Midlands Green Party condemns this draft Code in the strongest terms and calls on MPs to reject the Code, to ensure that it receives proper parliamentary scrutiny and to protect the integrity of the Equality Act from exclusionary reinterpretation.

I have real sympathy for councillors facing stretched budgets and a wholesale reorganisation imposed from Westminster without consent. What I have no sympathy for is a government denying communities their democratic voice. #DemocracyMatters #LocalGovernment

Free bus travel for under 22s is just one step to help support those areas devastated by years of austerity. KMPG analysis shows that for every £1 invested in bus services, we get an economic benefit ranging from £4.55 to £5. news.sky.com/story/green-...

Green Party calls for free bus travel in England for under-22s

Green Party leader Zack Polanski said young people had been shut out of work and training because of the cost of living, promising that Green councillors would push for the change if elected in May.

Eliza's story is in Notts Live today. Her essential personal care has been cut as a result of Labour cllrs voting for a 'review' of high needs care packages. This is the human impact of cuts to public services. Disabled residents & unpaid carers deserve better & I'll keep amplifying their voices.

Olive Welch @olive-the-above.bsky.social · 09/04/2025

As we approach the NCC #LocalElections2025 on the 1st of May, I wanted to share more about my reasons for standing in Worksop West. The major parties have failed our community & it's time #votegreen and try something different! Together we can build a fairer, greener Bassetlaw. Read more here ⬇️

Olive Welch - Green candidate for Worksop West

My background and track record:
I moved to Bassetlaw three years ago and fell in love with the area and the community that lives here. I am a legal researcher, with a background in international human rights law. Prior to my current role, I worked in the Post-16 Centre and Outwood Academy Portland in Worksop, supporting students with their university applications.

Why I am standing in Worksop West:
It’s clear that the major parties have let this area down, so I’m standing to provide people living in Worksop West with a real alternative on the ballot paper. It is my firm belief that Green politics - those of environmentalism, of inclusion, and of social and economic justice - offer a path towards a fairer society. One where public services are properly funded, where workers are treated with dignity, and where communities across Bassetlaw have the resources that they need to thrive.

am passionate about supporting our community and am always looking for ways to get involved and help out. I have been actively supporting the campaign to oppose the proposed plastics incinerator on Shireoaks Road, so it’s possible that I have already knocked on your door a few times to hand out leaflets!
