This was actually quite funny. Liz Truss put forward a private members’ bill that was incredibly extreme, removing trans rights that have existed since being trans was noted to be a thing in the UK, that would have made being trans in public life awful, that would have **criminalised** trans medical intervention that has existed for decades and that would have been section 28 specifically for trans people.
..and Labour MPs (and some Tory MPs) filibustered it, somewhat by talking about their pets and giving their whole-hearted support to a very worthy bill on controls of the import of pets.
Shame on Truss for even putting forward such a disgusting bill that would have put trans rights back decades and make us the embarrassment of much of Europe.
Truss….in a few weeks will be discussing flat earth, mole people and Jewish space lasers on GB News… Then join Reform UK.
The brass neck on Bandenoch to suggest labour aren’t listening to public when half the country are telling the Tories to hand back Hesters money and cut ties with him and they’re just pretending nothing is wrong.
She really is a horror story. I thought at one point she was one of the more centrist Tories, but she seems to be marching off to the right day by day.
Can we have a private members bill that puts Liz truss into electoral wilderness where she has no ability to identify as an mp
For US people, it must be unusual to hear about the filibuster being used for something good.
