QueerAF understands several government departments are set to release similar guidance, and there seems to have been coordinated activity to release them at the same time.

Labour’s savage disability benefit cuts could hit older people hardest, despite their reduced chances of finding work - a third of those potentially affected are aged 50+, according to FOI data Older disabled people face both labour market ableism and ageism By me, for @theleaduk.bsky.social

Exclusive: Over a third of disabled people at risk from Labour’s benefit cuts are 50+
New figures obtained by The Lead show more than one third of people at risk from cuts to universal credit disability payments are over 50 – a group facing some of the highest barriers to finding work

The only "cancel culture" that has ever existed is the one targeted at minorities, women and the left. That is how power works. Many liberals were taken in by the "free speech" moral panic because (as in the case of "free markets") they lack an analysis of power. www.theguardian.com/culture/2026...

In accordance with ancient tradition, our next Prime Minister is announced to the nation while standing between a furry and a man with a bin on his head.
A victorious Andy Burnham MP (24,937 votes), as the result of the Makerfield by-election is announced, flanked by defeated candidates Count Binface (a bloke in a vaguely sci-fi costume with a large bin for a helmet; 95 votes) and Robert Pownall (who is in a full body fox costume, holding a sign reading "Protect British Wildlife"; 18 votes). There are some other candidates there just out of shot but that's not important right now.

New Victoria Hospital will no longer provide masculising gender-affirming surgery from December. We have been assured by NHS England that it is looking at alternative providers to continue this service, and that they will keep patients informed. transactual.org.uk/blog/2026/06...
TransActual is aware that NHS Gender Dysphoria National Referral Support Services (GDNRSS) has issued an email stating that New Victoria Hospital in London will no longer provide masculising gender-affirming surgery from December of this year.

We have been assured by NHS England that it is looking at alternative providers to continue this service, and that they will keep patients informed and up-to-date on this process.This situation will ultimately lead to further delays for trans patients who have already spent years on waiting lists. Whilst NHS England could not control the decision by New Victoria Hospital not to renew the contract, they have a responsibility to act to minimise the harm of delayed care. Waiting lists for these surgeries are already unacceptably long.

We continue to ask that NHS England support and finance patients to medically transition abroad – in EU countries or beyond – rather than delay care further.

I don't know what other way of reading this there is other than a single man's personal hostility to Human Rights' law, and power over the Supreme Court's entire makeup, has succeeded in crushing any dissent to his personal belief that the Human Rights Act needs to be neutered.
Further, Reed mentioned in 2026 that previous candidates for Supreme Court vacancies were asked, in their interview, whether “an overenthusiastic interpretation of the Human Rights Act” had led to a “damaged… relationship” between courts and the legislature. This is a loaded question. What is an “overenthusiastic interpretation” of the Act? Overenthusiastic by whose measure? Does it mean any approach which differs from Reed’s own (notably conservative) interpretation? Reed suggested that the obvious answer to his question was “yes”, and that anyone disagreeing would make Reed wonder “what planet… this person [had] been living on”. In response Lord Waldegrave confirmed: “for somebody living on that planet, they would be rather unlikely to get on to the supreme court?”. Reed’s answer was stark: “so long as I’m chairing the selection commission.”

🚨DR UK's Statement on the EHRC's New Code of Practice "We are appalled at implications that an adequate workaround is trans people using Disabled toilets instead. We will not be used as a loophole in the wider erosion of trans rights." Full statement👇 www.disabilityrightsuk.org/news/disabil...
Disability Rights UK’s Statement on the EHRC’s New Code of Practice
As the makers of the original RADAR key and custodian of the National Key Scheme, Disability Rights UK issues our unequivocal solidarity with trans people, who should not be forced to choose between risking harassment in public facilities – or not using them at all. 
Image of Disability Rights UK logo in a purple box.
We are appalled at implications from the Code that an adequate workaround is trans people using Disabled toilets instead. It is a vain attempt to get two marginalised groups to blame one another for our lack of facilities, when the blame lies firmly at the feet of policymakers. We will not fall for it. We will not be used as a ‘loophole’ in the wider erosion of trans rights.  
Image of Disability Rights UK logo in a purple box.
Our RADAR key scheme began in 1981, rooted in the understanding that accessible facilities can be the difference between living the lives we deserve – socialising, travelling and working – and complete social exclusion.  

Our community knows how it feels to be scapegoated simply for trying to access the necessities we need to live. Trans rights do not come at the expense of Disabled, nor anyone else’s.
Image of Disability Rights UK logo in a purple box.
As is clear from this Code of Practice, it sets a dangerous precedent for the erosion of other protected characteristics. If the Equality Act can be up for debate in this arena, who is to say this will not be the case when it comes to disability in the near future? 

As a result, the Disabled-led movement must make a clear stand against this ruling, not to mention because 52% of trans people are Disabled themselves.
