Excellent response. Let the Labour Party own the consequences of their idiotic, crude gambit. Let them become the Party that collapsed local government in a cost of living crisis to defend Zionism.

This is such an inappropriate letter from the Chair of the EHRC, Dr. Mary Stephenson.
Some important background: TWO Parliamentary Select Committes refused to endorse Stephenson as Chair of the EHRC in 2025. The Joint Human Rights Committee Chair AND the Women and Equalities Committee refused to endorse Stephenson as Chair.
They issued a joint letter to Bridget Philipson, saying that they had concerns about "vision and leadership, about breadth of
expertise across the wide remit of the EHRC, and about rebuilding trust."
The Committees said that Stephenson "did not demonstrate a suitable depth of understanding of enough issues facing groups with
other protected characteristics including race and disability."
A Chair of the EHRC who failed to demonstrate a suitable depth of understanding of issues related to racism! You can't make it up.
Bridget Philipson, one of the Labour Together's infamous "brave" eight MPs, appointed her anyway.
Last month, Stephenson was given a soft-soap interview in The Telegraph, which lingered on her "gender critical views" and her role in confronting "Orwellian" trans-rights activists.
Based on this correspondence with Tapp, it appears Stephenson is already making pronouncements before a substantive investigation has even begun and before she has received any submissions from the Green Party or other interested parties. The wording strongly suggests that she has already determined the motion to be potentially discriminatory, with a determination centring on the practical application of the motion.
It is outrageously presumptuous and tin-eared, not least because she is now investigating a matter already pronounced upon by Philipson, who appointed Stephenson in the teeth of Parliament's wishes. The potential for a perception of conflicts of interest is obvious - and Stephenson should be behaving with this in mind, not offering opinions without hearing any representations.
The EHRC is one of most farcical and inept of all the various Quangos created by Blairism. It has repeatedly been found wanting in is relationship with the black, Muslim and trans communities. It's report into the Labour Party was replete with the most basic, painful factual errors; the lead Commissioner on that report was found sharing extremely problematic content online.
I fear another stitch-up is on the cards - and I'd urge the Green Party to lawyer up fast, and make it clear they will fight the EHRC through the courts.
China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi has urged Israel to stop and reverse its “forced establishment” of settlements in the occupied West Bank during a meeting with Israeli President Isaac Herzog in Azerbaijan. Wang called the Palestinian question “the greatest historical injustice of this century”.

Go harder
The only promises @andyburnham doesn't break are the ones he makes to his pro Israel Zionist donors. One in five Labour MPs are funded by pro Israel donors

Palestinians have expressed their support for the Greens after the party adopted an anti-Zionist stance, saying it was 'obvious' the ideology was 'racism' 👇
Labour are really showing themselves up.
They're comparing those of us demanding an end to the genocide with Reform and Tommy Robinson.
Keir Starmer may have gone - but his politics and our Governments commitment to arms licences very much remain.
