"Unless specifically signed off by a Minister." Well, still better than nothing but i guess UK gotta be UK.

I think it does effectively spell the end of the old policy, since it places the burden of anything going wrong on that minister

Exactly, putting it in the hands of a Minister is easily the best way to ensure it never happens, whilst still holding the possibility out there as a defence against those that claim they’re being oppressed.

It’s a fairly decent decision, a rarity for the current lot, and should a future government, think about changing it they’ll have an upward battle persuading the public that it needs to change.

Presently, the greatest risk of gender identity lunacy running rampant is a future Labour government, particularly if they manage to get rid of Starmer, who doesn’t seem to be convinced by it all, in the way his deputy, Rayner, has.

Something just seems off about Rayner to me. Like in those pictures her and Starmer took at London Pride, she was so desperately trying to push herself to the front. If I were Starmer I'd be canning her, because that's where the knife in the back will come from.

Starmer seems to have become weaker and weaker over time. During the leadership contest he was the only one who refused to sign the TWAW declaration, and now he’s buckled and said the magic words (and didn’t he even carry a trans flag at Pride?). I’ve never voted anything but Labour, but between Starmer’s capitulation to the identity politics brigade in his party and Sadiq Khan’s pandering, bandwagon jumping and general shitty management of London, I may just spoil my ballot in future.

There's the Social Democrats, I don't agree with all their policies, but I'd say they're closest to my views right now. Though unfortunately they're still small enough that they probably won't have candidates in every constituency. Really this would be the ideal time for the Lib Dems to say "Hey, we're a more logical Labour and we're not the Tories!", but they've gone off the deep end even worse than Labour. Funnily enough the Communist Party of Britain actually know what a woman is. Literal Communists are smarter than Labour and the Lib Dems on this issue
