I also have some magic beans for sale… Literally parliament has sovereignty, and could repeal the constitutional reform act (2005) to shut down the supreme court as the most extreme solution The least extreme is to accept Scottish ministers as direct contravention of judgements by the higher

Alice Brockway@alicebrockway.bsky.social

Hi Lee. Cis ally here. Got fed wrong information for ages so I've been going out of my way to get facts. - Senior team member from @libertyhq.bsky.social told me the supreme court ruling can't just be overturned as some people have claimed. Burnham could not have come in & simply undone it. 1/6

European Court of Human Rights, something we're still signed up to btw That way the judgement could be declared as per incuriam and made non-binding And brown-hair starmer could fire philipson and streeting, and stephenson from the ehrc But, he won't. Why not, you ask? Because he agrees with them

and the corrupt judgement handed down by the corrupt supreme court. He had the opportunity during his coup d'état to fire the slimy little fuckers and install MPs that aren't compromised by the far right, or who aren't deeply unwell religious extremists and fanatics 🤷 Magic beans, going cheap!

Today is the only day I will entertain the American date system, but on this first 9-25 Dolly Day, what are you reading? I am getting through Joe Heller's last novel, the sequel to Catch-22, Closing Time

It's the story of the surviving men after WWII told this time by some enlisted men, Sammy and Lew, and is set in post war New York

So it gets even worse than not being able to identify literally any evidence that could justify cancelling surgery; what pathetically miniscule 'evidence' they have was raised in July by GDNRSS. Not only were the cancellations not justified at any time, the evil fucks sat on their 'best evidence'

River no. 1,789 (she/they)@legoenby.bsky.social

If there was high enough risk, and it was imminent enough to justify cancelling surgeries, they should have escalated this firstly to the Welsh govt per their own operational frameworks. It appears the NWJCC couldn't identify that level of risk, yet cancelled surgeries anyway.

*for an entire month* before acting on it, such was the urgency to maintain patient safety thru surgery cancellations If there truly is justification to cancel surgeries on a patient safety basis, how many people did they put at risk by not acting on the information in July when they received it??

None of the points they presented made any sense at all *thru a good faith lens* Family complaints? Who the fuck cares once someone meets the base >18 criteria; the patient is legally and reasonably able to consent without parental input at that point. GDNRSS? So what if Wales refers more people?

This post is unavailable.

That just tells me England is failing their patients by not referring them for surgery- and we know that's because they're grossly underfunded to the point of conversion abuse via budgetary means. English gics literally run out of budget ½-¾ of the way thru budgetary periods, which reduces referrals

I picked up on a significant amount of abuser rhetoric - "we're only doing this for your own good". But the biggest red flag was they aren't hearing from nor reviewing anyone that has already had surgery. Can't stop them getting surgery now, eh, greenie you little fuck @plaidcymru.bsky.social

*But didn't identify any unsafe practices or any risk that trans patients are facing by having gender affirming surgeries

Owen Blacker@owen.blacker.me.uk

Ian Green reiterating that it was a clinical decision. Iolo Doull, medical direction of the NWJCC reiterating that they are completely committed to gender-affirming surgery "but the trans community deerves just as much safety as other communities and this is a decision made on safety grounds"

To add, if they were able to identify unsafe practices they woulda been all over it like a bad rash; it woulda been embarrassing how much they smothered themselves in glory for their "findings" They showed nothing. no safety issues, no untoward or preternatural levels of risk. Yet they cxl'd anyway

It's not good enough. They avoided the question regarding what happens if the review finds any (see: all) of the 60 patients were "inappropriate referrals" and they lose their surgical pathway entirely These people need firing. How they're still in nhs jobs right now is entirely beyond me

Cwiar Cymru@cwiar.org

NEW: NHS Wales has confirmed that trans patients will NOT go to the back of the waitlist after surgery cancellations - the original referral date will still be honoured.

I've stayed on; tell me I'm wrong but they haven't addressed the public q's yet? I sent in some very specific questions regarding this which they have not addressed at all They didn't even address the "what happens if any (see: all) of the 60 priority patients are found inappropriate" question

"How do we best help trans people thru this?" Well, commissioner, you start by fucking resigning They found nothing but the nebulous and undefinable "potential harm" yet are committed to transgender healthcare. What a fucking liar she is.

I do believe the legal term for Scottish ministers is not "unassailable" but "per incuriam", especially since hodge wrote that unhinged anti gay marriage screed in 2016, and just happens to be chums with a certain funder of anti trans lawsuits

Peter Walker@peterwalker99.bsky.social

First speaker against the motion, Cllr Mark Johnston from Reigate, argues that nothing should distract the Lib Dems from their purpose of ensuring Nigel Farage doesn't become PM. This means realism, he says: "That realism means accepting the supreme court determination last year is unassailable."

"we have always been bastards to women and OAPs, in particular by underpaying them – which they have always accepted – therefore this traditional discrimination behoves us to maintain this status quo. This may upset some of you, and some of you may die, but that's a sacrifice we are willing to make"

NevereverDave.bsky.social@nevereverdave.bsky.social

Similar to what 40 years of deliberately underpaid women faced in having equal pay claims rejected, prolonged, then denied, or [full & final] amorally settled for an infinitesimally tiny fraction of eventual settlements. Cost millions & people died, OAP etc. Shrugged their 'professional' shoulders!

You might ask yourself “whose side are they on?”. You might not like the answer, but it becomes hard to deny. So why? Why, when we know that appeasing the far right empowers and builds it, do they keep doing it, alienating their base and helping to deliver the country to Reform or Restore?
