Trans women must be barred from female toilets, changing facilities and sports teams, new official guidance is to state.

Bridget Phillipson is expected to confirm on Thursday that official guidance will state what businesses and public bodies must do under the law to protect single-sex spaces.

The guidance follows last year’s Supreme Court judgment that trans women, who were born male, are not legally women for the purposes of the Equality Act.

Completely agree.

In an effort to steal votes from Conservatives they're just lurching further to the right

    Problem is the right already have 2 parties to vote for, they'll just push voters away, either to apathy or other parties.

    Here's hoping we can convince enough Labour voters, who didn't want this stupid, pointlessly cruel right-wing shit, to vote Green.

    Thing is, I dont want to vote green.

    I agree with most of their environmental and immigration policies, but a lot of their policies on policing, defence, devolution and increasing benefits payments to the unemployed (except where through disability) I disagree with.

    Their commentary on how the police responded to the Golders green knife attack for instance really pissed me off. In some ways they are enlightened, but when it comes to stuff like this they are hopelessly naive.

    Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.

    On the positive side you have global and national policies. Global warming, benefits, immigration all have massive impact.

    On the negative side you have one social commentary on police brutality , or perceived police brutality, in a single case.

    They have good policies, no-one is going to be perfect. Vote Green

    Allowing immigrants to work whilst waiting for a formal decision. Let them earn money and pay tax.

    Housing dangerous asylum seekers in detention facilities and providing suitable accommodation for ones who aren't.

    Investing more money on border control to speed up decision making.

    Those were the three that stood out off the top of my head.

    There isn't one about open borders

    Their idea is that immigrants, whilst waiting for a decision which can take months/years should be allowed to work.

    The current situation - they get given benefits. Meanwhile farms etc have huge shortages of labour but they cannot legally employ asylum seekers.

    Personally I'd prefer they worked, got paid and paid for their own food/accommodations.

    And go look yourself, their site isnt hard to navigate.
