Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
Andy Burnham has U-turned on his opposition to the EHRC trans guidance and his views on trans use of facilities in general. Right that’s it – Guido is launching a tracker… Burnham said today that his views had changed since 2022 and added: “I think the time has come to take the Supreme Court ruling and the guidance and implement it. But to do it in a way, obviously, that protects those spaces, but does not marginalise already marginalised communities… Let’s implement the guidance, but to do it in the fairest and most compassionate way possible.” This is obviously the opposite of his previous statements.
