Caps don’t win automatic work and they don’t make a brilliant pundit either. The way you communicate, articulate yourself, do your research, inform your audience, how likeable you are and the chemistry you have with your panel are what makes a brilliant pundit.

Day 6 | PM Session | Peggie v NHS Fife & Dr Upton

🧨Weaponising Narrative: From Fabricated Logs to Hate Reports

It began with an email. On 29 December 2023, just hours after a fraught exchange in the women’s changing room, Dr. Kate Searle sent a message to every consultant in the Emergency Department. Sandie Peggie, the nurse who had asked Dr. Beth Upton why he was changing clothes in a female-only space, was portrayed in that email as the aggressor. Searle thanked DU for his "composure" and suggested that other, unspecified incidents involving Peggie existed. No such incidents had ever been formally recorded.

Today at the tribunal, cross-examination dismantled the scaffolding on which this claim was built. Naomi Cunningham methodically unpicked the story of a so-called "log" of previous events. When asked directly, Searle admitted she only learned of those other alleged episodes on 29 December - the same day her email to colleagues implied an established pattern. There was no log, no independent corroboration, no risk assessment - only an eagerness to frame Peggie as a serial problem.

That impulse metastasised into the Datix incident report filed by Searle shortly after. Here, the language escalated: Peggie had, it claimed, behaved akin to someone comparing a colleague to a convicted rapist. Yet Searle admitted today, under oath, that Peggie had never used the word "rapist" and had never mentioned Isla Bryson by name. It was an inference - one that transformed an interpersonal disagreement into a formally logged hate incident.

This isn't a technical failing. It is narrative manipulation under the guise of safeguarding. Where the facts didn't suit, interpretations were slotted in to fill the gaps, then weaponised through internal reporting mechanisms. A nurse with 30 years of service was re-cast as an abuser based on the offensive impact that others imagined, not on what was actually said.

Searle also testified that she could not determine whether Upton was male because, as she explained to the tribunal, she "wouldn't have known what sex DU was assigned at birth". This from a senior emergency doctor. Cunningham did not press her to say whether she could identify the sex of a newborn - it was unnecessary. The point had already made itself.

Cunningham highlighted that the "Datix heat" intensified only after Upton refused to leave the changing room. Peggie had said, repeatedly, that it was a women's space and Upton was male. For that, she was suspended, interrogated, and accused of bigotry - not by patients, but by colleagues whose language around Upton bristled with reverence.

The tribunal also heard today how Searle convened what one might call an inner circle of sympathy. Her group emails were selective, curated to exclude dissenting views. Peggie was not permitted to discuss the incident with co-workers - a restriction never applied to Upton or his allies.

At every turn, the machinery bent to accommodate a single perspective. Internal procedures became tools of enforcement, not investigation. No one asked why a trans-identifying male was changing in a female-only space without prior policy or consultation. Instead, they asked how best to silence the woman who said no.

As today's cross made plain, the charge against Peggie was built backwards. A conclusion first, then a motive, then a narrative, then finally some retrofitted evidence. The log never existed. The hate incident report was embellished. But the consequences were real: loss of income, damage to reputation, and nearly the end of a career.

The hearing resumes tomorrow. But whatever its final ruling, today's testimony revealed this much: the facts didn’t support the punishment. The story did.

[Michael Foran @michaelpforan]

Interesting how both Isla Bumba and Kate Searle relied on Google to provide them with advice on the law relating to single sex changing rooms. I wonder what their views are on people googling their symptoms and relying on that for medical advice.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

Spare a thought today for the UK employers, government departments, health boards, academic institutions and sporting bodies who've been breaking equality law to appease activist groups. So many HR manuals to pulp. So many out-of-court settlements to pay. #SupremeCourt

[Sex Matters @SexMattersOrg]

We are delighted that @ForWomenScot has been successful in its appeal to the Supreme Court, and that the position of the Scottish Government has been rejected.

The court has given the right answer: the protected characteristic of sex – male and female – refers to reality, not paperwork.
