Burnham has imposed; 1. The trans segregation & toilet ban 2. The trans Section 28+ to segregate & bully children in school That makes Burnham the most transphobic Prime Minister ever, & by a very wide margin. The fact that he is saying nothing about makes him a *coward* as well as a transphobe.

Struggling to work out why Jenrick would single out these three Commonwealth countries rather than, say, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, whose citizens have exactly the same rights. It’s a head-scratcher.

@novaramedia.com on Burnham’s flip-flopping transphobia; this reveals his most pathetic side. Looks like he is not going to stand up for a marginalized minority against the powerful forces of the mega-rich & hard right. On his watch the UK will become the most transphobic “liberal”“democracy”.

@stuartgoldsmith.bsky.social I was just listening to the Joyelle Nicole Johnson episode of The Comedian's Comedian. She talked of escaping the US to the UK but you didn't mention how the UK is like a red state in terms of trans rights and politicians' attitude to immigrants.

EXACTLY as trans people have been warning for at least 15 years. If they impose a policy of forced birthing in the UK, every “gender-critical” transphobe will be to blame.

Cass, writing for The Times, likened the danger posed to children by social media to other preventable health threats. "Consider nut allergies. When children died, their families demanded action to protect others," she said. "We did not tell ell grieving grieving p parents we needed more data, or that causation wasn't conclusive, or that most children like nuts so we wouldn't act."

Holy crap, Bridget Phillipson has appointed Dr Mary-Ann Stevenson as the new chair of the EHRC, despite the explicit objections of both @commonswec.parliament.uk and the Joint Committee on Human Rights here: committees.parliament.uk/publications... www.equalityhumanrights.com/media-centre... 1/

The Minister for Women and Equalities has confirmed the appointment of Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson as the next Chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission. 

Dr Stephenson was announced as the UK government’s preferred candidate in June and completed a pre-appointment hearing in front of the Women and Equalities Committee and the Joint Committee on Human Rights on 1 July.

Dr Stephenson will take up the post from 1 December 2025, when Baroness Falkner’s extended term comes to an end. 

Responding to the confirmation of her appointment, Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson, the next Chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, said:

“It is a great honour to be appointed as the new Chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission at such a critical time.

“I have spent over 30 years building my career across the equality and human rights sector and I am delighted to have the opportunity to bring my insight and experience to lead the EHRC with compassion, honesty and dedication.

“I look forward to working with the Government and all stakeholders alongside my new colleagues at the EHRC to uphold equality and human rights and ensure that everyone is treated with respect and dignity.”


John Kirkpatrick, Chief Executive of the Equality and Human Rights Commission said:

“We welcome confirmation of the appointment of Dr Stephenson as our next Chair. 

“She brings a track record of working collaboratively with diverse stakeholders, and her experience in addressing inequalities and human rights issues will be invaluable as we deliver our new Strategic Plan and continue our work to make Britain a fairer country.

“Now our next Chair has been confirmed, we look forward to progress being made on the appointment of additional Commissioners, including a Wales Commissioner, and a new Deputy Chair and Scotland Commissioner to replace Dr Lesley Sawers, whose term will also end on 30 November 2025.”

Rachel Reeves mulls stepping in to save car loan providers billions
Exclusive: Chancellor could overrule supreme court if it upholds entirety of ruling over commission paid to brokers
Kalyeena Makortoff Banking correspondent

The chancellor, Rachel Reeves, is considering overruling the supreme court over a £44bn car loan commission scandal after lobbying by some of the UK's biggest lenders, the Guardian can reveal.
Under Treasury contingency plans being discussed for the event that justices decide to uphold the entirety of last October's shock appeal court ruling that customers may be entitled to billions in
compensation, the government would retrospectively change the law to cut liabilities for lenders.
