“Musicians came together and fully gave themselves to a song that was written by and for trans people. When the session ended, I broke down in tears and we all hugged—some of us were crying too. Something powerful happened that day." youtu.be/bdjCgi0gnf4?si…
Well, not always. But definitely in General Election years.
Today, on Trans Day of Visibility, and always, Labour stands with trans people. #TDOV
Joanne Rowling does herself a disservice: the online hate mob, the bigotry, the weakening of feminism through the alignment of her sliver of it with literally every fascist in the world, is her legacy.

In accordance with our transparency principles, we have now updated our EHRC challenge page with our case as filed, the EHRC's response, our reply, and the responses of the Health & Safety Executive and the Secretary of State Bridget Phillipson. goodlawproject.org/update/update-…
Rupert Murdoch's TalkTV is the most hideously transphobic channel on your screens. It's clearly breaching broadcast impartiality laws. Please join us in complaining to Ofcom. We took down GB News' homophobia - now let's join forces against Murdoch. goodlaw.social/22da37
A well-known historian in Liverpool demanded that @abi_whist take down her stories about him. Instead, she took down the paywall - and now lots of people are reading about him for the first time. This is how you deal with threats. livpost.co.uk/cutthroats-and…
The most interesting thing about these stats is that the most political judge of all - the Lord Chief Justice - is constitutionally responsible for choosing which judge hears which case against the Government (whatthelawdoes.com/p/whose-side-i…).

Wes Streeting took £224,575 in donations from people and companies linked to the private health sector between Jan 2023-2025. 🚨🚨🚨 I find that unconscionable. RT if you agree! itv.com/news/2025-07-1…
A detail we didn’t know four months ago – Peter Mandelson still had £6m of shares in Global Counsel 👀 inews.co.uk/news/politics/…

The Gender Recognition Panel refused a GRC to a young trans man - because he wanted a child. With your help, we acted for him and paid for Counsel in his appeal hearing that concluded today. We will fight against the sterilisation of trans people. goodlawproject.org/trans-people-m…
We are litigating to find out whether the For (some) Woman Scotland decision breaches the EU Withdrawal Agreement. And we think, if it does, the High Court in Belfast will need to ignore it. goodlaw.social/g6zz
Statement in response to a hit piece in the Mail on Sunday.
Entirely for free, apparently, GB News has been furiously promoting M&S and when we asked for an explanation it properly threw its toys out of its pram. The GB News letter is priceless and well worth a read. goodlaw.social/86jy
The High Court has now made some directions in our case against the EHRC - and we will have a hearing this month. goodlaw.social/8xv4
