Interesting to see the number of MPโs including my own who have signed the non- motion calling for the change in legislation to erase the rights of women. It is very disappointing and I hope that all those participating in this charade find out how many women vote .
Should there be basic competence tests for those wishing to sit as MPs? I fear this question kept recurring as I watched various honourable members rise to their feet to make legally illiterate, ignorant, & plain wrong points about the Code of Practice (CoP) in response to the Ministerial statement yesterday.

@LibVoice4Women@KishwerFalkner@bphillipsonMP ๐ฏ and shame on all MPโs who are being disingenuous including our so called shadow for Women and Ewualities who is ignoring the first part of her brief. Leaders retweeting her should know better . Shame on them all
@ScotNational Hi @ScotNational@LauraEWebsterr
Just FYI to avoid embarrassing yourself in future, the definition of woman in the EA has NOT changed. The court clarified it means, and always did mean, sex.
Correction needed. Unless you want a reputation as lazy & inaccurate.
@campbellclaret@jk_rowling@RestIsPolitics@SarahEMcBride Why exactly? Because we haven't heard those 'compelling', 'measured' points being yelled in our faces through balaclavas for the past decade? We need educating more? This is, and always has been about our rights as women, not anyone else's. Time for less mansplaining, not more...
@mark_slapinski It bothers women. Women with trauma from sexual assault, women from minority ethnic or religious backgrounds, women who just want privacy & dignity.
Thankfully, in UK, men have to stay out of our spaces. If that bothers you, you are sexist & regressive.
@JournalistJill@EmmaBatemanGPW I think we need to move beyond the description of nurses wiping up piss and shot . It is more complex an multifaceted than that. It doesnโt help the profession get recognised that is mainly female
Summary of my speech. There is nothing I can say you havenโt heard before, nothing I can say with which you wonโt agree - so why bother? Because look at this group of men who want to drown us out. All they have is insults about how old and ugly we are. These men are the establishment. Led by men such as Jolyon Maugham who promise us men with balaclavas and hammers if we wonโt get in line. These men exist because of the cowardice of our Government. I am so glad to see you here today. This is a direct threat to womenโs safety, dignity and the rule of law. We need to keep saying NO.

We are delighted to be hosting @jo_bartosch and @robjessel16 on Monday evening to discuss their new book 'Pornocracy.' Jo is a journalist & women's rights campaigner and Rob is a writer & campaigner. Free zoom tickets below for 7pm. https://t.co/ExMKBO2LA9
I donโt think leaving bad reviews of a business over a political disagreement is a great idea. Itโs happened to me with ppl who havenโt read Pornocracy on the basis they disagree with my views, and I donโt wish it on anyone else whoโs trying to make a living ๐คทโโ๏ธ
@jo_bartosch@robjessel16 What a disgrace they are. However Iโm looking forward to speaking to you and @robjessel16 on Monday at @LibVoice4Women next event. All welcome, get your free tickets:
