Scottish Labour Women's Declaration

More from @euanmccolm. "Rather than considering that the 50-year-female nurse might have a point, senior staff rallied around Upton. While Upton was consoled and supported, Peggie was treated as a bigot and suspended". We need our institutions back. scotsman.com/news/opinion/c…

Women - especially women escaping male violence or healing from its effects - need *single sex* services. Single sex. Female only. No males. Not trans males. Not gay males. Not nice males. Not soft males. None. No males. No, @scotgovfm No. heraldscotland.com/news/25342397.…

It's not a "trans" tribunal, or a "trans" row, or a "trans" court case. Sandie Peggie is a woman protecting her rights from a lying bloke who thinks he can manipulate his way past women's boundaries. bbc.com/news/articles/…

What Sandie Peggie’s tribunal makes clear,if people are willing to really look, is that this is, at its core, about an employer treating an employee badly. That’s the crux of it. A woman raised legitimate concerns and was punished for it. Everything else is a distraction. The…

Claire Baker and Carol Mochan two Labour MSPs in this article voted against the GRR bill losing their shadow front bench positions as a result They stood up for their principles and for women when so many did not 💚🤍💜 archive.is/2025.07.27-063…

"When the tribunal ends next week, the focus should be on NHS Fife and those who conducted this witch-hunt, a medical organisation where basic biology is deliberately misunderstood and the only things being doctored are the evidence and the truth." thetimes.com/uk/scotland/ar…

No coverage of the Sandie Peggie case on @BBCRadioScot newspaper review. After last week’s daft rant they had a duty to redress the balance with a well informed commentator on identity politics instead we get Liz Lloyd, one of the architects of the mess, & Brian Taylor 🤦‍♀️

The Labour MSP said NHS Fife had ‘let the Sandie Peggie case get out of control’ heraldscotland.com/news/25343552.…

“Trade unions who are... disassociating themselves with this lawful protected belief by... criticising the Supreme Court’s decision... may find it difficult to defend litigations raised by members claiming they have been harassed or refused assistance" 1/ heraldscotland.com/news/25342759.…

As Donald Trump starts his weekend break in Scotland, his popularity stands as a warning to Swinney et al, that ahead of May 2026, voters are fed up of politicians more interested in issues like gender identity than everyday concerns. Me ✍️ in @TheScotsman link in replies

I am deeply honoured and incredibly excited to be announced as the new Editor of @LabourList I am looking forward to working with the incredible @LabourList team to keep bringing you all the Labour news and get inside the stories of the day. labourlist.org/2025/07/new-la…

Thrilled that @EmmaBurnell_ is the new @LabourList editor. Emma started writing for the site back in 2009 and has always been thoughtful, pluralist and deeply connected to the site’s mission. Good luck, Emma, and congrats to all involved on a great hire. labourlist.org/2025/07/new-la…

"Rachel Taylor, Labour MP & WEC member, had incorrectly asserted that the Supreme Court disagreed with the EHRC’s interim update on the implications of the Supreme Court judgment" This error resulted in correction to the official transcript of the meeting personneltoday.com/hr/mps-openly-…

University EDI and HR teams need to read this judgment in full. Harassment and discrimination driven by staff networks are still the responsibility of the employer.

“At least Anas Sarwar and Jackie Baillie now regret their sheep-brained enthusiasm for gender woo-woo. But where are the Alex Cole-Hamiltons, the Patrick Harvies, the Jamie Greenes, the Monica Lennons and all the other MSPs...” @alexmassie on good form. thetimes.com/article/ba6130…

The Sandie Peggie ET illustrates what happens when a group of people is relentlessly monstered to the point where everyone thinks they're fair game, and further, that it's righteous & satisfying to punish them. It's so distressing to watch it play out in real life. #SandiePeggie

"Bridget Phillipson... is set to overrule the women & equalities committee and the joint committee on human rights, whose members refused to endorse Stephenson as incoming chair of the EHRC" Sensible course of action by @10DowningStreet & @bphillipsonMP 1 thetimes.com/article/a7da1f…

Melanie's letter castigates @UKLabour MP @Tim_Roca's ignorant comments: "Roca has also cast doubt on the validity of the ruling, viewing it purely through its implications for trans people rather than the much-needed benchmark for women’s status in law." thetimes.com/article/f37d43…

"Sandie Peggie has received support from local Labour politicians as the tribunal she brought against NHS Fife gets underway again." Good to see @ScottishLabour MSPs & local MP @melanie_ward attending the hearing today & expressing support for Sandie. thecourier.co.uk/fp/politics/52…

Excellent piece by @rob_marchant. Sandie Peggie's case reflects how far we've come, but much remains to be done in the devolved nations, the unions and the managerial class. Now would be a very good time for @AnasSarwar to state his support for Sandie. labour-uncut.co.uk/2025/07/22/lab…
