A reddit post on the conduct of anti-trans lawyer Naomi Cunningham. Shocking stuff, heartbreaking to see how trans people are treated in court, and the free reign to commit unadulterated cruelty by the bigots who will never see consequences for their actions. www.reddit.com/r/transgende...

I'm just going to leave this here, it's a network graph showing Mary-Ann's connections in the gender-critical world. Given that she's already deeply embedded in anti-trans activity, it's difficult to judge her on anything but that.

A network diagram with Mary Ann Stephenson at the centre, showing her connections to several prominent anti-trans campaigns, and then the huge number of other terfs connected to them.

I think people are too harsh to Good Law Project at times, I remember when the GLP vs EHRC judgement came out seeing people act like it was wrong for them to promo the wind they did get when they lost on other points. But the wind are a big deal, especially in the current climate!

I'm seeing a lot of people invoke the figure of the intersex person in current discourse on sex and gender, especially in relation to the UK government's anti-trans segregation regime. But the actual voices of actual people are getting lost. This buried report offers vital evidence to counter that.

Oh, and we're just blatantly going to write this in such a way that gender affirming care can be deemed to be "conversion practices" with the clause b(i). Got it.

A screenshot of the government's draft bill on "ending conversion practices" which reads:

(2) “Conversion practice” means (subject to subsection (3)) any conduct carried out by a person towards an individual with the intention of—

(a) causing the individual—
(i) to have or not to have,
(ii) to believe that they have or do not have,
a sexual orientation or a particular sexual orientation; or

(b) causing the individual—
(i) to have or not to have,
(ii) to believe that they have or do not have,
a transgender identity or a particular transgender identity.

Streeting has said he's made a "principled decision" to not start the leadership bid just yet. Others tell a different story 🤣

Wes Streeting is unlikely to be on Keir Starmer’s Christmas card list for some time. This is what a Starmer ally has told me: "Wes has failed the most basic rule of politics: he can’t count.

"He never had the numbers. We counted and counted and counted and recounted. The highest number we got for Wes was 44.

"We could not see how he could get higher than that. We knew that, Wes will have known that. So all that stuff from Wes about how he is resigning in the party interest to allow a broad debate is a load of old guff. He never had the numbers.

Interesting slide from an NHS ai network discussion. Looking into implementing AI into the NHS, staff aren't using it, don't know how to use it, have to spend their time double checking and correcting when they do use it, and there is no guidance around how they should be using it.

A slide describing NHS staff usage of AI

Findings from stakeholder engagement

1. Adoption is a bigger issue thanaccess

Use remains patchy across teams and roles. Access, licences and confidence are all shaping uptake.

2. Practical implementation is the key challenge, not just the tech

Benefits depend on workflow, local context and basic digital foundations, not just software capability.

3. Skills are shifting towards judgement, review & confidence

Al is changing the nature of work, with more emphasis on checking, evaluating and using outputs appropriately

4. Governance and value are unresolved

There is still limited clarity on purpose, boundaries of use, accountability and how success should be measured.

We didn't lose the challenge on the basis we should have waited for the Code. Indeed, the Court agreed with us that the interim guidance itself led employers and service providers to act. The case was decided on the High Court's interpretation of the law, and is now authority on what the law is.
