We were recently asked by a journalist for examples of UK #surrogacy cases where the child was born or became ill and where the commissioning parents were older or in any way unfit.
We were also asked to share cases where there was deception.
Here are just 8 examples 🧵
Worrying to hear male judge Victoria McCloud on @BBCr4today say they’ll challenge Supreme Court judgment that reinforces women’s legal protections under the ECHR. A male desire to be validated as female does not trump women’s rights to access eg single-sex rape crisis services.
Son has casually informed me that his PSHE teacher told his class that JKR is transphobic. He’s asked me not to call the school so I won’t but I’m fucking furious.
Grangemouth update: from an internal email to staff, PetroIneos say that all refining has ceased at Grangemouth. So that means oil refining in Scotland has finished.
The assertion is being made that the Supreme Court judgment in FWS places the UK in breach of its ECHR obligations, as laid out in the case of Goodwin v UK. A court case is apparently being prepared on this basis.
I think this may be seriously misguided.

@joannaccherry That was a disgrace Maggie Chapman given the casting vote in her removal.from the committee. The whole parliament must now have a no confidence vote on the whole committee itself
People are flying around the world, buying children off their mothers and using them as social media props.
One of many reasons surrogacy should be banned.
Pretend nurses have existed for thousands of years.
It's only a tiny number of pretend nurses.
If a few pretend nurses hurt patients, that doesn't mean they all will.
Pretend nurses belong in jobs aligned with their pretend nurseness.
Have you even talked to a pretend nurse?
The Supreme Court ruling provided 88 pages of clarity and EHRC interim guidance now summarises the application of that clarity.
Unless we now need a picture book edition, the delays and excuses have hit the wall of clarity and reality.
Get male prisoners out of the female estate now. Uphold single-sex spaces, services and sports protections now.
Word salad won't cut it - this is the time for deeds.

BREAKING: The British government is set to approve experiments to BLOCK THE SUN to stop climate change.
They will be spraying chemicals into the air to block the sun to lower the temperature.
This is literally biological terr*rism.
Interesting that the agenda for this meeting has now vanished from the Parliament's website - I tweeted at 15.40 and the page was changed at 16.14 according to its meta data. Of course I should have screenshotted it...
@ginadavidsonlbc@MassalouxMars Chapman won't have a vote as the motion concerns her. SNP Adam is woke and doesn't know what a woman is. That leaves 2 Tories and 1 Labour to vote against. If Adam then uses casting vote to retain Chapman then others should walk out of committee until Chapman is removed.
Superb news from Spain 🇪🇸
The Government are bringing in a bill to strengthen their surrogacy ban, to prevent Spanish citizens from registering babies born to surrogate mothers abroad.
Why aren't we doing the same @DHSCgovuk@FCDOGovUK@ukhomeoffice@oeogovuk?
The Chief Executive Officer of Rape Crisis Tyneside & Northumberland has made a public statement in light of the Supreme Court ruling; she states that the centre will continue to allow ‘transwomen’ & ‘non-binary’ individuals to use their services…
Asking today why @nhsfife continue to waste precious resources defending the Sandie Peggie case when it is clear now they cannot win. The answer was ‘we can’t comment’. #IstandwithSandiePeggie
Today we are in @DailyMailUK as they expose a British surrogacy agency, My Surrogacy Journey, which has set up a commercial surrogacy outpost in Mexico City.
Thank you @sammerriman_ for exposing these awful men and the loophole which allows Brits to buy babies abroad @DHSCgovuk
I am very proud of my professional body for calling out Maggie Chapman’s appalling behaviour. It’s time for the Scottish Parliament & the Equalities, Human Rights & Civil Justice Committee Convenor to act to protect their reputations.
I’ve formally reported Maggie Chapman MSP to the Presiding Officer and Standards Committee following her dangerous dismissal of the Supreme Court’s ruling on the Equality Act as a ‘political attack’.
MSPs have a duty to uphold the law, not undermine it.
