    He has insight on the structural & social factors behind the #SNP / #PeterMurrell crisis.

    A small group of outsiders had rapidly moved to centre-stage at the head of a vastly bigger group, with much more power & resources.The personal trust+loyalty that had got them there was no longer sufficient for good administration, but old habits and loyalties were entrenched.

    The #GPEW needs to learn from this.

  6. Five Party Politics means some Parties will have to work together to get stuff done. It's not a failure, it's Democracy, it's how it should be. Enough of this stupid "winner takes all" nonsense, this isn't a fucking sport!

  11. > The Discrimination Of Being An Indeterminate Sex

    On Thursday last the UK EHRC, which is in theory at least tasked with
    improving equalities and human rights, released its guidance to Parliament
    regarding trans citizens access to single sex spaces, and it is fair to
    say the guidance is devastating.

    But first a little history. Back in the early 2000s in a case brought
    before the ECtHR it was ruled that the UK was in breach of human rights
    law, in that the UK defacto rendered trans citizens an indeterminate
    third gender. This ruling resulted in the GRA 2004 and the EA 2010
    resulting in trans people being legally recognised as our acquired
    gender, within certain bounds. This existed for a decade until it was
    in essence overturned by the Supreme Court ruling in April 2025 which
    ruled that under the EA 2010, sex meant "biological sex" without
    establishing what this means. This created further confusion because,
    under the EA 2010 it was already possible to discriminate against
    trans people, albeit with a high bar, on a case by case basis and
    in order to achieve a legitimate aim. In short, it was always possible
    for women's groups to exclude trans women albeit within certain
    bounds.

    This guidance now mandates that trans women only use men's facilities
    and trans men use women's facilities, unless they look too feminine
    or masculine in which case they may not, in which case some undefined
    "third space" must be used. This puts trans people at risk and also
    forcibly outing us, which is itself against the law. As for the risk,
    it is highly likely that any such space would become known as "tranny
    toilets" with all the risk of violence that entails.

    A more chilling possibility is that such guidance would make it effectively
    impossible for any trans person in the future to medically transition.
    This is due to the highly pathologised nature of trans medicine whereby
    a diagnosis of gender dysphoria, which does not exist in ICD11, is
    required for medical transition and a key part of this is demonstrating
    living within acquired gender, including the use of appropriate gendered
    spaces. This guidance will make that last part impossible and illegal.
    The practical result of this will be to drive trans people from public
    life. How for example can we go to the pub with our friends if we
    are unable to use the toilet?

    This must be protested and fought against as the impact will not end
    with trans people, indeed, already we are seeing cis women being impacted
    if they do not look feminine enough. To this end protests are due to
    be held across the UK with some already having been held.

    This is regressive, and must not stand.

    Of course, Burnham may have promised PR to GPEW if they gave him afree ride, just as he may be tactically lying to the hacks for the same purpose. Neither would be reassuring, even iftrue. But, alas incompetence and lack of principles are Occam's razor.
