We see @EdwardJDavey has promised a national "listening programme" after the last election confirmed that @LibDems were out of step with the public. Will he listen to women who were horrified by Lib Dem MPs' cavalier approach to women's rights? ...

We would also add that lobby groups funded by the gov also fail to hold them to account. The work of challenging a series of proposals detrimental to women's rights had fallen to unpaid volunteer groups like FWS & @mbmpolicy even tho funded orgs ...

RT @AlisonJDowling: @ForwomenScot How gullible do they think we are? The definition of ‘woman’ in Gender Representation on Public Boards (Scotland) Act 2018 has already been changed from that given in the Equality Act 2010. Now they're trying the ...

We should like @benjamincohen of Pink News to say if he will encourage people to use @HumzaYousaf hate crime bill to persecute women. If so, we should like Mr Yousaf to examine the leaflets for evidence of "hate" and explain why women should face ...

Update on @NHSLanarkshire. We understand they have "temporarily paused" the policy. While this is good news, we would remind them sex is a PC under the EqA and of their public sector equality duty. It would be nice if policies also protected the ...

We should also like a response from @S_A_Somerville. The questions on leaflet were all ones our supporters asked us to raise with her when we (finally!) were permitted our only meeting in Feb. We gave her a 25 page print out. We have to receive an ...

We are extremely worried that malicious articles like this from PN will be used in trying to provide "evidence" to stitch up women under the hate crime bill proposed by @HumzaYousaf. PN calls leaflets opposing Gov policy "obscene & disgusting" ...
