Until now, sex in law has been assumed to be based on your birth certificate (which can be amended by a GRC). The Supreme Court ruling changing it to "biological sex", a much messier definition which isn't binary, without a definition introduces huge uncertainty to the law.
🚨 BREAKING: The Supreme Court has ruled that a woman is defined as biological sex under the Equality Act of 2010

If you’re feeling helpless and not sure how you can make a change, I implore you to get involved. Find your political home - wherever you are - and join the fight for global democracy.

Fellow liberal-minded folk in the UK are bound to feel a sense of dread after the US election. Just remember, democracy is a constant, and one set-back (even a big one) is never a permanent change. We reflect, brush ourselves down, and continue the fight for the future. 💪

A productive Saturday - advice surgery at the Hazel Grove library, followed by a visit to our first local Worker Bee markets for a long time! Ritchie had a fabulous time getting dog treats bought for him. 🦴

The far right thugs who are targeting Muslims, asylum seekers and communities of colour shame us all. Those who have used the tragic murder of three young children to fan the flames of hate will be held to account. Hate will not win.

What a result! Proud to be part of this party. Proud to have played my part in making this happen. LibDem MPs are back in Greater Manchester!

“Sunak is on TV by the river, we need a boat full of Lib Dems waving behind him, STAT!” Incredible.

It was wonderful to have a (brief) break from campaigning yesterday to attend the fantastic @StockportPride festival and wave the Liberal flag. Seeing so many people out in support was heart-warming. Lib Dems will always be on the side of pride, equality and inclusivity for all.

I am now even more confident that an early election is coming than I was just before lunch. If I subsequently look an eejit, so be it

Poll ratings increase infinitely upon this becoming a reality. 💀
@PushTheSutton We’re all going to go through the aye lobby painted up like the blue man group , apart from Ed who is going to dress up as a big orange bowling ball and skittle us all down. The journalists will love it.
