I see Nick Cohen is again complaining in one of his newspaper columns about the cancellation of transphobes.
Barely a day passes in which one national newspaper or another does not carry a piece decrying how trans people have rendered voiceless the writer or their friends.
Meanwhile, when @GoodLawProject brings litigation asserting that trans people too are entitled to benefit from the foundational NHS promise of universal healthcare there is literally not one national newspaper we trust to carry the story fairly.
Meanwhile, I'd be very happy to hear from women who have worked with Nick whether he is the champion they would choose for women's rights in the workplace. Happy to keep your name confidential, if you prefer.

I have some questions for @wesstreeting. 🧵
First, have you investigated the explosion of deaths amongst those on the NHS waiting list since NHS England introduced a softer version of the ban?
Second, given that the structure of the ban recognises the risks to of cutting off puberty blockers for those already prescribed them by the NHS, what steps have you taken to ensure those prescribed puberty blockers privately can continue to access them?

News on Victoria Atkins' emergency puberty blockers ban. Wes Streeting's position is that, subject to the outcome of the court proceedings and consultation, he will renew it and convert it into a permanent ban.
I congratulate the women in Labour's team who have, at least so far, brought thoughtfulness and sensitivity to the 'debate' about trans women. My feelings about Wes Streeting are unprintable: these measures will kill trans children.
These tweets are my own personal position and not that of @GoodLawProject.

Don't forget: how they weaponised hate, what they've done to the National Health Service, how they raised your mortgage and how they trashed the economy.
Don't forget: the money they stole under cover of Covid, the Parties they held while your parents were dying, the science they ignored, the bets they placed and the Veterans they dishonoured.
Don't forget: the children going to bed and to school hungry, the state of your beaches and rivers, whose taxes they cut and whose benefits they wouldn't and their sweetheart deals.

Over the weekend, and into Monday, we were communicating with the Department of Health as to why, it said, we should not publish our story. We asked for and obtained further details of those reasons. 🧵
We took the view, having consulted with our specialist lawyers, that its reasons as then stated did not amount to a proper basis for us not to publish. Late last night, when it shared with us details of its proposed injunction application, it significantly refined its position.
It moved from saying the information was commercially sensitive to detailing how that information is said specifically to relate to an ongoing criminal investigation.

If you wanted to use the pandemic as cover for passing money to your dodgy friends and donors who didn’t actually have anything to sell you would set up procurement exactly as the Conservative Party did in the pandemic.🧵
You would identify the PPE you wanted and then, instead of buying it from the Chinese manufacturer, you would buy it from a UK intermediary. And then choose who the intermediary was.
Putting together a good offer was not easy. It helped to have connections on the ground in China; you needed to gather lots of complicated documentation together; and you had to keep the supply available for long enough to get it over the line with Government.

Every mother who has sent her children to bed hungry, or victim who has watched her rapist go untried, or domestic violence victim who cannot leave because there is no emergency shelter, or mum who can't work because of childcare costs, knows exactly which party hates women.
And in a couple of days, when the polls with fieldwork after JK Rowling's attacks on Labour drop, we'll know her actual impact. And it will be, despite the best efforts of our noble fourth estate, exactly none.
A new Government must get serious about the tide of misogyny and violence that leaves so many, too many, women bearing trauma. And how some women feel about trans women is relevant too. The challenges posed must be resolved with care and sensitivity: there is no other way.
