I’m sure you think that link makes a point in your favour. I’m equally sure you’re not able competently to explain how. Will you give it a go anyway?

The prospectus offered here by GLP to the WI and Girlguiding is:
“Do what we want and we promise to pay the legal fees you incur in the resulting regulatory action, which will likely conclude with the dissolution of your organisation.”
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.

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.
In the time it took Kate Osborne to procure and approve this graphic she could have read the judgment it referred to and realised she was talking absolute nonsense.
But she didn’t bother.
Being a Labour MP used to mean something.
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.

Highlighted section of article: “Research shows that lesbians are at higher risk of rape, sexual assault and sexual victimisation than other groups, including heterosexual women and gay men. These risks decrease when lesbians have good social support.”
The research Akua refers to - which was put before the Supreme Court - was conducted by @matildagosling.bsky.social on behalf of the Lesbian Project and is linked below (this is just one of several papers in the series)

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.
Remarkable article by a Commissioner of the Scottish Human Rights Commission (albeit written in a personal capacity):

It is... not good... that sharing an article published in The Economist is flagged by moderation as "intolerance".
Guardian and Observer journalists have asked people not to share Guardian stories for 48 hours from midnight tonight (Tues), to respect their strike and the virtual picket line
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
I've done a quick round-up of pre-reading for anyone interested in following FWS v Scottish Ministers next week: www.legalfeminist.org.uk/2024/11/23/f...
I haven't been able to find any substantial commentary arguing that SG should win. Please link in reply if you know of any, and I'll add it.
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
The Scottish Government has now published its submission, which can be accessed here. www.gov.scot/publications...
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

There’s no verification on this site, so it’s hard to be sure what you’re looking at.
The Kemi Badenoch account on here is fake, her team tell me
Right now this place is early Twitter. As it gets popular the people it brings won’t be to the liking of the early adopter clique. But that’s social media. It’s not your WhatsApp groups. It’s all human life. Pretending the problem is bots is delusion.
Followed the crowd here 🐑 I like it so far. I’m making a legal challenge to the Sussex rape crisis centre to try and secure single sex rape crisis therapy for women unherd.com/2022/07/why-...
