Your claim that the judgment "confirms that the EHRC's draft code of practice got the law wrong" is categorically untrue. The judgment is not even about the code of practice - it's about the interim update. Every single argument made against the interim update was dismissed by the judge.

“We can’t expect people to follow rules they don’t know about”: Government urged to fund new driver education campaign to raise awareness of Highway Code changes four years on
Cycling UK has called for cuts to road safety body THINK! to be reversed and a new Highway Code campaign launched and “updated for today’s digital landscape”

Some important clarification here from @cyclinguk.bsky.social on submitting close-pass video evidence to the police www.cyclinguk.org/blog/it-wort...
Is it worth submitting video footage of close passes?
After concerns that police in Wales might not be accepting video submissions of close passing, we met with the Head of GoSafe in Wales to find out more. Here’s what he told us, along with his advice f...

And good on them for pressing the police on this. I was among the people who were told by the police in Wales that they weren't taking evidence of dangerous driving any longer, so Cycling UK clearing this up is very welcome

Haven’t you spread enough dangerous misinformation about the law?
I had thought that a Supreme Court ruling regarding women's political & legal rights might have meant a C4 piece about the history of women's rights & the women's liberation movement. But no. C4 centred males with trans identities. Quick feminist analysis: males are more important than females.
HUGE win for grassroots #Feminism – @forwomenscotland.bsky.social #SupremeCourt victory 💥 A clear ruling that Women are a distinct group under the Equality Act. Now the #EHRC & national gov'ts must step up for women, update guidance & align policy & practice with the law #WeKnowWhatAWomanIs
