Robert Kenyon was given one job today in preparation for todayβs #makerfield debate on the BBC.
That job was to remember a short question for Andy Burnham and deliver as if he had came up with it himself.
The question and delivery was just painful to watch.
Alongside colleagues, I have tabled a motion to disapprove the Equality Act 2010: Draft Code of Practice for Services, public functions and associations. We cannot support it, and we have a responsibility to our trans constituents to resist it.
This motion is currently the only available mechanism through which Parliament can reject the EHRCβs Code of Practice; if it is debated and passed within the 40-day scrutiny window, it would prevent the Code from being issued by the EHRC and coming into force.
Please email your MP asking them to sign EDM 240.Β
The Code will exclude trans people from services and facilities that they have long used without issue, putting them at increased risk of harassment and violence, and effectively pushing them out of public life.Β
It ushers in an era of enforced segregation for trans people, the policing of which will be outsourced to service providers, including businesses, charities and public bodies.Β
In the statement to the House of Commons yesterday, the Minister even suggested that where members of the public are unsure of someoneβs gender within a single-sex facility, βmost people will have the common sense to step in where necessary or, if they are concerned, to alert a member of staff.β
Meanwhile, this guidance does not give clarity and confidence to organisations that want to be trans-inclusive. Its impact also extends beyond the rights of trans people. The governmentβs own Equality Impact Assessment warns that βwomen who are considered masculine may face greater scrutinyβ and that disabled people could face adverse impacts.
The Code represents a profound rollback of rights, which will affect trans people directly and erode the principles of inclusion, dignity and equality upon which all our rights depend.
This guidance must not become statutory; the government should withdraw it and instead legislate to clarify and protect trans peopleβs rights, privacy and inclusion.

This is the legislative scrutiny of the equality bill from 2009, that went on to form the basis of the equality act 2010.
Very interesting bit at the bottom, about abusing single-sex exemptions to keep out trans people, which the EHRC went all out to do...
BREAKING:
Our response to the @EHRC Draft Code of Practice (2026) -the 2026 EHRC Draft Code of Practice exceeds its legal mandate by introducing unworkable "single-sex" rules, creating unlawful conditions for protected status, and failing to....
