Keir boy is a barrister and the son of a toolmaker, he’s capable of drafting any necessary SI to overturn that fucking judgment within minutes and signing it himself. But he is a bigot.
Let’s be clear about who is responsible for trans girls being excluded from the Guides.
Keir Starmer

He could have overturned the injustice of the flawed Supreme Court any time, but CHOSE not to. So he is responsible for these girls being harmed. There’s a word for adults who harm children.
