The final paragraph is new and it *is* significant. Though still arsey it admits the EHRC f****d up.
If judgements can be made like that, may as well get someone from down the pub to do it.
Pressure works.
The days of good faith discussions and consultations etc are over. The Starmer regime made that clear.
(As a signatory to the originating letter (not under my byname); I'd like to be able to make quote of the response without having to manually retype its contents.)
I have sent you an email from the domain linked to my Bluesky account, also without my byname should you need to match to the original letter.
But this Act was written & passed by the HoC. It remains the HoC's responsibility to fix their mess.
