A slow (rapid?) decline in the environmental wellbeing of the UK (world). It makes Reeves’ approach to destroying unique (or any habitat) in order to appease house builders all the more a chaotic and ill thought through proposal. She doesn’t get it and she doesn’t care.

I have good intelligence that the Government was as surprised at the Supreme Court's decision as everyone else was. Shabana Mahmood will have known that - incredibly ugly for her to try and smother criticism because she likes the outcome.
The right way for Mahmood to respond to the substantial and substantiated criticisms of the Supreme Court decision is to address them.
To pretend it is illegitimate even to advance criticism is to mimic autocracies and amplify the stench of impropriety. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It's still illegal to discriminate against you for being trans, but is legal to discriminate against you for any expression of that transness is a frankly absurd interpretation of the law and it's extremely evident none of these people sincerely think trans people should exist.
I see that the Labour re-appointee for the EHRC chair is insisting trans people use mythical, segregated third spaces as a way of existing in society
Not sure she understands the "Human Rights" part of the name. But tbf the supreme court didn't either
