10 years after the Independence Referendum, the YES movement finds itself in a Slough of Despond. Sometimes you have to look back, in order to find a way forward. Make sure you get one of the few remaining tickets 👇 👉 tickettailor.com/events/slainte… 10/10

RapeCrisisScot statement on EdinburghRapeCrisis Report “It is important that survivors can make informed choices about the services they access at RapeCrisisCentres, & we recognise that for some survivors this includes the choice of a single sex service.” rapecrisisscotland.org.uk/news/news/our-…

The independent report into Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre finds that damage has been done to survivors & that the CEO failed to set professional standards of behaviour. The CEO should resign or be dismissed without further delay. rapecrisisscotland.org.uk/news/news/our-…

My goodness. The Office for Statistics Regulation has concluded that the Census 2021 gender identity statistics published by ONS do not comply with the Code of Practice for Statistics and their accreditation has been cancelled. This is huge.

This is the very least that they can do. It seems the board are intent on ignoring their own culpability. It's not good enough. They, and RCS, are making a sacrifice. But they created the problem. ercc.scot/statement-from…

Finally. Hopefully this doesn’t draw a line under why this person was ever appointed to a job 👇

I’m glad to hear that Mridul Wadwa is no longer the CEO of Rape Crisis Edinburgh but the appalling culture over which this man who identifies as a woman presided goes much deeper. This should not be an end of the matter Others need to consider their position

Cameron Downing, a serial predator & sex offender was welcomed by ERCC while women, victims of his ilk, were harmed by their ideological fundamentalism. A review is a must but that review has to be independent as Scottish Government & many public services are culpable in this scandal.

Susan Dalgety is right to say that Nicola Sturgeon’s promotion of gender identity theory created the atmosphere that allowed Wadhwa to flourish & that we need a thorough review of services for women survivors of violence & sexual abuse. search.app/dDGuemxxX5b1A8…

Looking forward to this event tonight, reminiscing about the optimism of the 2014 indyref YES campaign and contributing my views on what’s gone wrong in the SNP & the wider independence movement and what can be done to put it right.

Two years ago, Kate Harris was forced to defend the very existence of lesbians in our tribunal. "I’m going to speak for millions of lesbians around the world who are lesbians because we love other women… We will not be erased." Please support our work 👇 lgballiance.org.uk/donate/

I stand with Bev, Kate and all lesbians currently being demonised and threatened for not welcoming men into their reserved spaces and dating pools. It gets no more homophobic or misogynistic than trying to pressure and shame lesbians into pretending men can be women.

" I believe we’re once again in the battle of our lives, for the right to gather, to speak, to organise on the basis of our sexuality. And for the ability to say ‘No’ to men. " Read our co-founder Kate Harris on last weekend's Lesbian Strength march. ✊ spiked-online.com/2024/09/17/men…

If I could meet just one woman in the world and give her a hug - this is her

Hammering pensioners was not the change people voted for. The SNP must now reform & reset to take advantage of the nosedive in support for Labour in Scotland. thetimes.com/article/971735…

“Time and hubris have caught up with an SNP that became entitled and self-deluded.” 💯 The tragedy is that those of us who tried to prevent this from happening were thwarted by the subversion of the party’s internal democracy under Sturgeon & Murrell.

BREAKING NEWS. Plaid Cymru admit unlawful discrimination against gender critical feminists for cancelling their conference stall booking. I hope my own party The SNP & Scottish Labour & Liberal Democrats & others will take note.

Excellent blog explaining why Police Scotland’s failure to accurately record the sex of people charged or convicted of rape or attempted rape contradicts international human rights requirements.
