One third of @mbmpolicy Opinions my own, RTs not an endorsement etc.
It’s understandable that some think that NHS Fife and Dr Upton don’t have an opportunity to settle with Sandie Peggie given they are the respondents but this isn’t true. They can concede liability or stop calling witnesses and move to a judgment based on the evidence so far.
They are the respondent. They don’t have the option to settle. Sandie refused, so all this rot could come out in the open.
Hope to continue coverage of the ET in Dundee but poor usage of my images in the press means it is more and more uneconomical for me. Most papers using archival images or none. Exceptions are excellent @thecourieruk and @heraldscotland. @thetimes even seem to have used a TV…
The Wilkins case should be read by various employers with internal blogs published on the employer site, and those with certain active staff networks. assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/687e55f1…
Not only did the EDI lead turn to Google for advice, so did a senior clinician.
If there's a workforce issue someone more senior shld do this work before Beth came to me KS Beth has every right to use the facilities she wants under the GRA. NC What did u look at to satisfy yrself? KS If u google it there's many refs for trans ppl and CR
A mindset repeated across the public sector: when deciding whether those with trans identities can use opposite sex facilities, the only people whose views carry weight are those with trans identities. The rights of others are never considered, nor those rights holders consulted.
NC Re DU using F CR, DU said [reads re was approp for him to use this CR. I have been instructed is the approp thing for me to do and I've been told to do this] Y're the only person who discussed this KS I didnt instruct Dr Upton. I checked she was ok to use the F CR.
Kate Searle met Dr Upton at 5pm on 29th December & Beth told her the events that had happened and was extremely shaken & distressed. Looked at 'hate' policy & completed a Datix together, discussed reporting to police & then looked at shift patterns & whether she felt safe.
Our trade has a real problem when we write stupid and misleading headlines like this. Treating readers as fools is a precursor to having fewer readers.

Good journalism costs money. Lots of journalists doing an excellent job covering the Peggie tribunal. If you can, please support by buying a paper, or taking out a subscription.
Fife MSP @clairebakermsp has written to health secretary Neil Gray calling for an inquiry into NHS Fife’s handling of the Sandie Peggie case thecourier.co.uk/fp/politics/52…
Big day today as Sandie Peggie vs NHS Fife employment tribunal continues. Dr Kate Searle is giving evidence today, where we will hear more about the Christmas eve incident with Dr Upton. @heraldscotland for live updates all day.
Jeez do I need to go back under oath to clear this up😝 My mum is my best friend, has and always will be. Her only concern is if I’m happy🩷
JR: And homophobic comments? CM: Just told she disapproved of ppl being gay - was told unhappy bcs her daughter gay - but I don't know at all.

We argue that the expectation that some female officers will willingly strip search men based on an uncodified and untenable consent principle, makes a mockery of the successive commitments made by senior officers to improve Police Scotland’s treatment of women.

Claire Baker MSP was one of the two Labour MSPs to break the whip and vote against the GRR Bill (the other was Carol Mochan MSP).
This morning @clairebakermsp & I met with Sandie Peggie, who I have spoken in support of in Parliament. Sandie has 30 years’ service as a nurse at the Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy & should never have had to take legal action to uphold her right to change in a single sex space.
