We're at Sandie Peggie's tribunal in Dundee.
Absolutely appalling that her husband has been told there's not enough space for him to be in the room to support Sandie.
@michaelpforan I’m hearing murmurs that a few journalists are also in this predicament. Additionally, a few civilians who have applied for a link have not received a link. Interestingly, I do not recall this problem occurring in either the Spring, Summer or Autumn hearings of last year.
Unfortunately I’ve not received a link to observe Peggie v RCN tomorrow. I’ve been told by HMCTS that links have been sent out but I’ve not received one. I can only assume that I’ve been unsuccessful in my application. I’m hoping I’ll be able to get on tomorrow.
A high-profile Scottish tribunal, serious questions of law, enormous public interest - and Michael Foran, who has probably done more serious legal analysis of the case than almost anyone observing it, can’t get a viewing link. Scotland does have an extraordinary talent for making itself look extraordinarily wee at the most important of times.
🚨BREAKING: Darlington nurse, Bethany Hutchison and nurse Jennifer Melle are set to give evidence in support of Sandie Peggie's case against the Royal College of Nursing.
The case begins in Dundee tomorrow.
Sandie, an RCN member for around 30 years, alleges that the world’s largest nursing union discriminated against her because of her gender-critical beliefs by failing to provide adequate advice, support or legal representation after NHS Fife suspended her for objecting to a transgender doctor using a female changing room.
Bethany and Jennifer will give evidence about their own experiences of seeking support from the RCN.
Sandie said: “I never wanted to be in a position where I was suing my own trade union. Whilst this is regrettable, it is a legal battle which is necessary in order to highlight the extent to which gender ideology has taken hold of the RCN and has been used to silence and malign members standing up for women’s hard fought sex based rights.”
Andrea Williams, chief executive of the Christian Legal Centre, which has supported the Darlington and Melle cases, said: “The evidence of Bethany Hutchison and Jennifer Melle will show why Sandie Peggie’s case matters to nurses across the country.
“These are dedicated and compassionate nurses who expected their professional body to defend them without fear or favour. Their experiences raise serious questions about whether the RCN has placed adherence to gender identity ideology above its duty to represent members who hold entirely lawful and protected beliefs.”

Look how quickly as well the likes of Wrexham, ‘Jenny’, TT and Graham have jumped on this post of yours! All pretending not to be concerned about the support for #RealityRulesRunnersUK whilst all clearly very concerned, or why would they even be taking notice and bothering to comment?! 🤷♀️😂😂
The people against fairness for women at parkrun are correct, the numbers 👇 aren't going up as quickly as some of us would like. But if they're so confident the #RealityRulesRunnersUK campaign has little support, why are they bothering to keep an eye on it? Nothing better to do?
I'm not sure why TT is so surprised that a Facebook group created 10 years ago has significantly more followers than one that was only created about a week ago, but take this as a reminder to give @RRRunnersUK a follow on their other social media channels.

Today a manager from bradford childrens trust came to see me and informed me that they will no longer be funding emergancy housing for me after the 1st of october and I have until then to find permanent accomidation or return to my old house which they know isn't safe and will cause "real and understandable worry for me", as they put it.
When they moved me into temporary accomidation, they assured me this woukd be one property from now until I found permanent accommodation. Instead they moved me to 3 different places in as many weeks and now are withdrawing it.
The only option they did give me was a house 10 mins away from my previous home, in the same area with the same risks.
I have been on the phone to other councils today to see if they will accept me as homeless and place me in a hostel with my children and I found out on the 29th, 2 days before the deadline, if they will. If they don't, im not sure yet what we will do.
never imagined that after everything my children and I have been through, I would be in a position where the choices being presented to us are returning to somewhere I do not believe is safe, moving back into the same area where those risks remain, or potentially becoming homeless.

The only logical explanation for what we are seeing is this Labour govt is working with the French to bring illegal migrants into the country.
They are trying to cover this up but they are being exposed. It's obvious.
This is a HUGE scandal.
And it's not going to end well.
Members of the public forced to hire hotel room to remotely watch Sandie Peggie tribunal because they are unable to listen in person. Only press allowed into court for some reason.
The boy stalked and harassed the girl online before he attacked her.
The classic pattern of escalation that went unchecked, because we, frankly, expect teenage girls to put up with an unbearable amount of unwanted attention.

Kemi Badenoch could restore the fortunes of the Tories simply by standing firm on two issues that affect half the UK population: women.
One is putting a stop to the continuing arrival of large numbers of unvetted migrant men from countries with deeply regressive attitudes towards women and women’s rights.
The other is the trans issue, where women’s sex-based rights and safeguards are being brushed aside in favour of cross-dressing men.
These two issues alone are huge. They directly concern half the electorate, yet all the parties on the left are on the wrong side of both.
It isn’t ideological. It’s common sense: controlled immigration, women’s rights and proper safeguarding.
It’s a no-brainer.
Steve stands with a forced coalition of avowed misogynists, autogynephiles and transvestites, opportunistic sex offenders, self-hating gays, women w/ internalised misogyny, self-conscious gender nonconformists, and children who’ve been lied to🏳️⚧️
