My fourth speech of the day, so a bit croaky, tired and disjointed, but I used a debate on university funding to criticise Labour's disgraceful dumping of the Higher Education (Free Speech) Act. The suggestion that universities should prioritise financial security over academic

Gender ideology turns organisations that are meant to help women into organisations that allow and enable abuse.

The capture of the ONS by gender ideologues was a dangerous and disgraceful episode. And here we see the end result: the downgrading of data gathered from the 2021 census. What a shameful and expensive episode. thetimes.com/article/3c1a47…

If you are a man who tells female rape survivors who want women-only spaces they're just "obsessed with what's between people's legs", you're not too far along from the abuser who tells his victim that she "loves it really"

Another thread with receipts written by JKR. Social media has many evils, but it is superb for being able to challenge the rewriting of history and the attempt of organisations and individuals (like RCS and, may I suggest, Sandy Brindley) to evade taking responsibility.

The legal battle is heating up. We are winning ET and County Court claims and now we are also winning on cost applications. This ought to send very strong messages to parties, employers and organisations to get their houses in order.

The Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre review made for some interesting reading (note this is an understatement). Makes me wonder what sort of reading the Dandridge Review will make? Will it be more Reindorf than ERCC? ounews.co/around-ou/univ…

"My heart breaks for those women who were denied safe, female-only spaces by Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre, at the one time in their lives when what they needed most was the support and empathy that only another woman can offer." Susan Dalgety scotsman.com/news/opinion/c…

I've been aware of one of the incidents described in this thread for a long time, because I know people involved. I'm posting this in response to the head of Rape Crisis Scotland's attempts to use rape survivors as human shields for her own career. 1/9

Must read. Dr Shonagh Dillon sums the debacle of RCS, Brindley and ERCC beautifully. It's been a week. Why haven't RCS defined woman? How can you run a service if you don't define who you are running it for? thecritic.co.uk/the-crisis-at-…
