Graphic with a purple background. There is a picture of John Swinney that is tinted pink in the bottom right corner. It says "The First Minister has said that trans people are valued in Scotland, that he understands the anguish and hurt created by the Supreme Court ruling. Why then is his government using the very same words from that judgment in law when it doesn’t need to?" At the bottom are the Equality Network and Scottish Trans logos and the link https://equalrecognition.eaction.org.uk/howwillthisberemembered"

On Friday, the High Court published its judgment on a case between the Good Law Project and the Equality and Human Rights Commission.

We've put up a page explaining the background to the case, some key parts of the judgment, and what might happen next: www.scottishtrans.org/good-law-pro...

Zack Polanski on how Keir Starmer could have changed the April 2025 UK Supreme Court ruling to protect trans rights (EXCLUSIVE) Zack Polanski revealed how Keir Starmer could have acted to protect trans rights after April 2025 UK Supreme Court ruling.

It’s the Government’s duty to protect all communities - including trans people.

They’re failing to do that.

Trans people deserve safety and dignity.

Another poll showing the @scottishgreens.org on track for a record result. That Reform figure is absolutely rank though.

Every seat we gain is one less potential Reform gain.

We have 82 days to bring hope back.

Every day we see where the politics of Donald Trump and the far right leads.

It's a politics of hate, fear, corruption and destruction.

It's a politics everyone in Scotland must stand unequivocally against, abroad and at home.

Venezuela latest: Trump says US has 'captured' President Maduro in strikes on country - latest The US President says Maduro has been

This illegal invasion of another country while its citizens sleep is a cynical act of American imperialism.

The fact that Venezuela has some of the world’s largest oil reserves makes this feel very familiar.

Greens stand against this contempt of international law.

Iceland becomes fifth country to boycott Eurovision 2026 over Israel Iceland joins Spain, Slovenia, the Netherlands and Ireland in neither participating in nor broadcasting event

The BBC must take a stand against Israel's war crimes and join the growing boycott of the Eurovision Song Contest.

Russia and Belarus were rightly excluded following the illegal invasion of Ukraine. Why do the European broadcasters believe that Palestinian lives are worth less?

Labour’s shift away from β€œimmigration is good but it needs to be managed” to β€œit is bad” is a gift to essentially everyone they compete with, because it means that they don’t have the right position to be able to attack *anyone*.
