This is called sophistry. Oh, and cowardice. @CrispinBlunt should have the courage of his miserable convictions. Perhaps resign the whip and his seat and stand in by-election in hope the good people of Reigate also think that women should not be ...

RT @WomenUnitingUK: @themis_ms @FelicityBuchan @JackieDP @trussliz This is why we think it's important. Many of us sent cards to @JoanMcAlpine because she stood up for women and she was kind enough to pin them up in her office in Holyrood ❤️ ...

This is an excellent idea! There was an outpouring of love and cards to Joan McAlpine when she memorably stood up for women last year. Politicians get a lot of slack - good to show them when we appreciate their efforts! https://t.co/TZnpFk...

RT @TwisterFilm: @PaulBrandITV @CrispinBlunt @trussliz Gay men who stay in the closet until they hit 50 in one of the world’s easiest nations to be openly gay don’t get to speak for the gay community just cos they claim to. Crispin needs to stop ...

RT @Lachlan_Edi: When separating from his wife and coming out as gay in 2010, Crispin Blunt regretted his past votes and all the statements he wished he'd never made on the subject of homosexuality. Nothing like the zealotry of a convert, eh? ...

Not sure why a time constraint would cause someone to say something untrue. However, as Ms McLaughlin says she has listened to people across the UK, we hope she will manage to listen to concerned women. Especially as, unlike the GRA, the EqA is ...

RT @hightreebud: @ForwomenScot @StoatlyL @AnneMcLaughlin Indeed. It's more within her remit to ensure we get clear guidance for the practical use of the Equality Act exceptions. As Liz Truss said, women are entitled to single-sex services/spaces ...

RT @hightreebud: @StoatlyL Also, awarding the contract to analyse the consultation responses has been cancelled, and it's a five month process from advertising the contract to Scotgov receiving any results. So almost impossible to happen before ...

RT @FranDav: Just watched the urgent questions re the GRA on parliament live. Hurt feels, 50% suicide attempts (it's gone up allegedly) Ireland and Argentina cited as examples of best practice (with no evidence). Well done @trussliz and good to see ...

RT @zeno001: Some MPs throwing their dummies out of prams on the Commons over @trussliz's GRA reforms. Most really don't have a clue what they're talking about. https://t.co/4JQ7YO... Starting at 10:38. ...

Well, that's nice... Women who understand the structural forces of oppression deserve, what? Death? Subjugation? This, BTW, right after she tried to promote a "feminist" seller on etsy. https://t.co/kCSPcH...

As @_freetodisagree rightly say, there are still issues with the bill, incl lack of free speech provision. It would have been better to discard part 2 entirely. As @liamkerrMSP said in the debate, there are enough problems in part 1 to keep committee ...
