The fact that the Good Law Project won their legal challenge against the guidance the EHRC tried so hard to ram down the country’s throat hasn’t been reported widely. So here is GLP’s own message to supporters. Remembering that the EHRC is still captured by […] [Original post on mastodon.green]

Text reads: The EHRC has been gaslighting us for a year, insisting publicly and repeatedly that their legal analysis - and their draft code of practice - were unimpeachable. Now it's clear that they got the law wrong, and they've been told to fix the guidance they tried to force through last year. It shouldn't have taken this long for the EHRC to do its job. After the judgment in our legal challenge against the EHRC's interim guidance, we wrote to the equalities minister, Bridget Phillipson, urging her to reject the draft code. Now, after further legal analysis "including in the light of the recent court rulings", they're going to "make adjustments". The government intends to lay the updated guidance before parliament for approval in May. For Jess O'Thomson, Good Law Project's trans rights lead, the minister's language and framing were "predictably terrible" from this government, but can't subtract from "a substantial win for the trans community" "We are glad the minister has demanded these changes - only time will tell if the revised draft properly explains how organisations can remain trans inclusive, and protects the rights of all. But whatever the guidance contains, Good Law Project will continue our work to ensure the human rights of trans people are defended."

A split image of the Duke of Wellington statue in Glasgow, Scotland, featuring a new intervention by street artist The Rebel Bear. On the left, the full equestrian statue is shown outside the Gallery of Modern Art, with a sculpted oversized pigeon perched on the Duke’s head, holding a folded newspaper in its wings. On the right, a close-up reveals the pigeon wearing a tiny traffic cone while reading a miniature “Daily Dribble” paper, replacing the statue’s famous full-sized cone. The playful artwork adds a humorous twist to the iconic landmark.

They tell other voters that the far right is correct. The determination not to learn this lesson is a wonder to behold.
