We're proud to support this urgent, expert-led call to MPs to #PausePartIII of the flawed Planning Bill. Currently, it lets firms sidestep essential environmental laws by paying into a nature levy—and looks set to add both cost and delay to the housebuilding that Labour so desperately wants to see.

A very insightful piece of writing about the UK Supreme Court's decision. Either way the court ruled would pose a problem for intersex and trans individuals. I appreciated Jennie's point about the inherent flaws of the original Equality Act and how it should be amended to account for 'what ifs'
