In this densely-packed episode, Ashleigh, Flint and Alyx consider many of the different reactions to the UK supreme court”s recent judgement, including:
- Updates on the many, many protests taking place all over the UK, with a helpful list compiled by the WTT team.
- The interim guidance from the EHRC, what’s wrong with it and why it’s not fit for purpose.
- Reactions from different UK unions, including the BMA and UNISON.
- Policy changes from sports bodies, the British Transport Police and Barclays.
- Conflicting reactions and statements from within the Labour party, the SNP, Greens and others.
- So many open letters.
- Our experiences at protests and why it’s important to go to them and show the government how unpopular this is.
- Loser’s Corner and Trans Joy, for your amusement.
