I haven't seen anything from this man nor from Badenoch acknowledging, never mind apologising to, Luciana Berger. And the Board of Deputies has declined to meet him, which should tell you everything about how victims of his pure evil feel about his "rehabilitation". www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Ex neo-Nazi activist withdraws as Tory election candidate

Kemi Badenoch says Joshua Bonehill-Paine will now advise the Conservatives on tackling extremism.

And for new builds, there's still regulations barring only unisex toilets (from Badenoch's tenure, of course, and still unrepealed by Labour 🙄)

Government to lay new law to halt the march of gender-neutral toilets in buildings

New requirements will be brought forward for single sex toilet facilities in new non-domestic buildings to alleviate safety, privacy and dignity concerns.

Seeing Jews as an abstraction, not as actual people, is a key part of the antisemitic mindset.

I have read Joshua Bonehill-Paine’s blogpost from April entitled “Inside the Mind of an Antisemite -and How I Escaped It”. It’s a fascinating account of being consumed by hateful, extremist ideology. You know what’s not in there? An apology. To Luciana Berger or the wider Jewish community

Whatever the heck this is, existing measures of central bank independence are not capturing it.

As evidence for Warsh’s rough start as Fed chair, the Treasury secretary is now going after reporters for their coverage of the central bank.

for the first time in two and a half years, a new note was played in this organ performance today!

Left the post-work beer in the freezer a bit too long, have created what I can only describe as a headburg

James Bond producer shares update on 007 casting: ‘It’s got to be really different’

Commodus: "hey dad! I made the team / got an A+ / won the award / passed the interview / got offered a scholarship!" Marcus Aurelius:

Our message to the new government is clear. Things need to change - and fast. Trans people are not going away, and neither are allies within our party. In order to win this fight, we’re going to need as many people as possible to step up. Let's make Labour the party of equality again.

Today the new Code of Practice comes into force, systematically excluding trans people from public facilities and services across the UK. It will go down in history as the Starmer government’s shame. But it’s not too late for Andy Burnham to change course.

Just been to see The Odyssey. This bit was scary.

@katie0martin.ft.com on the subject of the pervert glasses, a friend suggests "specsoffenders".

So 'bearded men' or 'beardy men' is smart; It does so much with so little. It mocks us as little fashionistas attempting manhood. It allows us to be lumped in with every bad thing straight men have done. It masks that we are part of the affected community. It means you can just stop listening. 8/

Once again, I come back to the fact these guys have created a situation where one of the UK's leading, cis female athletes is scared to go to the loo alone, and the fact that they are celebrating this as a step forward for women's rights.

German security authorities assess that Russian actors are the prime suspects behind the failed drone attack at Leipzig/Halle Airport, viewing the hub as an "obvious target" due to regular shipments of military aid to Ukraine. - RND

Cis woman on now speaking about how much she has been challenged, had security called on her because she has PCOS. Says she's never had a problem with trans women but multiple problems with GC women. She's on the verge of tears.

The fightback within Labour has begun. A motion disapproving the Code was tabled by Labour MP Nadia Whittome. It went on to attract the signatures of 93 Labour MPs, from every wing of our party. Trans rights are not a matter of right and left within Labour: they’re a matter of right and wrong.

Bringing this back to EHRC commissioner @sundersays.bsky.social attention. You have a responsibility to uphold equality for all people in the UK. Your organisation is failing badly at this - in fact they are agents of inequality and oppression I hope you’ll actually try and fight this in some way

Elizabeth Taylor@elizabethtaylor47.bsky.social · 2mo ago

An excellent piece from the civil servant who helped draft the Equality Act and worked a policy and strategy director at the EHRC until resigning under Falkner. I hope @sundersays.bsky.social and the other new commissioners will read this, giving particular focus to this section

Do try to remember that the EHRC guidance only affects service providers and not employment, so if you work somewhere where there are toilets or changing rooms for employees that aren’t open to the public then your employers are wrong if they try to stop you from using facilities for your gender

The EHRC code of practice comes in today, bringing in to the UK the most draconian regime for single sex spaces targeting trans people for a liberal democracy in the industrialised, under what is our nominally left of centre governing party.
