I very much hope @iandunt.bsky.social reads @akuareindorfkc.bsky.social 's forensic analysis of the multiple and serious legal errors in his recent Substack on the EHRC's Code of Practice. withinthelaw.substack.com/p/the-ehrc-c...

GLP’s “indemnity” is nonsense. The ultimate legal risk for charities/trustees who are breaching their charitable objects is the removal of charitable status by the Charity Commission. It’s impossible for GLP to indemnify that risk, because it’s not a financial risk. bsky.app/profile/good...

The Judge rejected, in their entirety, the Good Law Projects contentions that the guidance was wrong in law. See in particular paragraphs 75-80 of the judgment. It is deplorable that an MP cannot give an accurate account of a court judgment. You should delete your post above.

So depressing to see a Labour MP push misinformation like this. The judgment @kateosbornemp.bsky.social refers to is here: goodlawproject.org/wp-content/u.... Will she say which paragraph/s say “the EHRC’s draft code of practice got the law wrong”? No. Because none do. bsky.app/profile/kate...

Remarkable article by a Commissioner of the Scottish Human Rights Commission (albeit written in a personal capacity): www.holyrood.com/comment/view...
There should be no consolation whatsoever found in the fact that, besides Scotland, these issues have manifested elsewhere. We live only once. The lives of many have been damaged, indelibly, because organisations entrusted by the public to uphold their rights and keep them safe abandoned their mandates. Should it come as a surprise, if support drains from the political ‘mainstream’ against this backdrop? The wider institutional and cultural pathologies that have found their most recent expression in the Peggie case and responses to it must be urgently addressed – or belief in the value of democratic institutions may be the last casualty.

It is... not good... that sharing an article published in The Economist is flagged by moderation as "intolerance".

The CA has given permission to appeal in Barton Turns v Treadwell, the HHJ Martyn Barklem judgment which ignored Wicked Vision & followed the orthodox position on Osipov. It's been consolidated with Wicked Vision for hearing next October to allow the CA to bring back clarity (1 way or another)

I lost this ring in the toilets in Bounce in Farringdon tonight. It’s hardly worth anything, but it’s a ring my dad gave my mum and it’s priceless to me now that he’s not here. It’s gold, with a diagonal band of green stones on it. If you find it can you please get it back to me

Utterly absurd, and wrong, that this post is marked by @bsky.app as "intolerance". In reality it consists of links to serious legal analysis, from someone whose opinion you might agree or disagree with.

After the FW outer house decision I had a conversation with @naomicunningham.bsky.social where she suggested the interpretation now essentially that argued by Sex Matters. At that point she was I think a lone voice. But review of the issues of interpretation makes her argument more & more compelling

This gives me far too much credit. It was Maya Forstater who first persuaded me that there had to be a respectable argument that the GRA didn't stick its spanner into the works of the EqA; and @michaelpforan.bsky.social who did the detailed doctrinal work of putting that argument together.

He gets more than his fair share of abuse, we disagree often, but this piece by @michaelpforan.bsky.social is the best lawyering that I have read this week, in any field. It is detailed, but changed my view on "What is a Woman" in law knowingius.org/p/uk-supreme...

Many of the claims made for this place are doubtless justified. But note how @naomicunningham.bsky.social ‘s posts are labelled ‘intolerant’. You won’t see them in full unless you click on them. When you do, you discover a statement of fact. Something to bear in mind, I think.

	Far from “protecting the family farm”, as claimed by Tom Bradshaw, president of the National Farmers’ Union (Opinion, FT.com, November 5), the inheritance tax loophole on farmland, introduced in 1984, simply pushed up the price of land without improving returns to active farmers.

This is because, like most agricultural subsidies, the value of the relief was capitalised into land values. As tax planners cottoned on to its role as a licence to avoid IHT, they advised their super-rich clients to buy land and take advantage of it. In the 20 years to 2012, the price of farmland increased fourfold.

This turned landowning farmers into millionaires but — especially since land represents a cost of production — did no good to the incomes of food producers. It created impoverished millionaires who claimed a need for more support. At the same time, because more expensive land had to be squeezed even harder for the last drop of revenue, the environmental damage caused by intensive agriculture was made worse. Taking at least some of this tax loophole away will do no harm to family farmers but will help both public revenues and the environment.

Just a shame the relief was not wholly abolished.
