A Cabinet split has emerged on trans policy after it emerged Kemi Badenoch does not believe a law change is required to ban children changing gender in schools while others, including the Attorney General, believe it is. The Telegraph has more.
In July, Attorney General Victoria Prentis said that the Government would have to change the law to bring in a ban on so-called ‘social transitioning’, as gender reassignment is a protected characteristic under the Equality Act.
Social transitioning is where those identifying as trans expect to wear the opposite-sex uniform and demand others call them by the opposite-sex pronoun.
But the Telegraph understands that Ms. Badenoch, the Equalities Minister, believes guidance can be given to schools without such legislation.
The issue of whether legislation is required has delayed the introduction of guidance for schools, leaving them in limbo about whether they can stop boys who identify as girls from using girls’ toilets or joining girls’ sports teams.
Rishi Sunak is even said to be considering scrapping a ban on social transitioning altogether, fearful of Tory splits on the issue being exposed in the Commons if legislation is attempted.
On Thursday night, MPs and campaign groups urged the Government to go ahead and issue guidance without a change in the law.
Helen Joyce, Director of Advocacy at the gender-critical group Sex Matters, said: “The government does not need any new law in order to give schools simple and clear guidance based on the obvious fact that children cannot change sex.
“Any pretence in a school environment that a child has changed sex will inevitably mean that the school does not fulfil its statutory duties, in particular those relating to safeguarding.”
Tory MP Danny Kruger said: “Parents in my constituency are deeply concerned about the practice of ‘social transitioning’ – schools treating boys and girls or vice versa, without parents’ consent.
“For the sake of all the children, including those confused about their identity.
“The Government has decided not to legislate on the matter. If so, that’s fine – it doesn’t need to. It just needs to change the guidance for schools.
“Pupils should be treated according to their biological sex. If parents are happy to treat their child differently at home, that’s up to them – they shouldn’t be able to insist the teachers and all the other children do likewise.
“I believe most parents of confused kids would be relieved about this rule. Identity is a minefield, and many children are in deep distress. But the crucial identity we need to maintain is the position of responsibility. Can the adults be adults please?”
However, the schools trans guidance, originally promised for the summer term, continues to be delayed with no published timetable. Yesterday, No. 10 was unable to guarantee that it will be published before the election, with the Prime Minister’s official spokesman saying ministers need more information about “the long-term implications of a child acting as though they are the opposite sex”.
After several scandals and reports, how much more information does the Government need?
Asked whether the guidance could be published before the next election, he said: “I’m not going to put a specific timeline on it, not least because I don’t know when the next election will be.”
However, one source told the Telegraph it was expected that the guidance will be published in the coming weeks.
What a shambles. If the Government can’t even act coherently on a matter of basic biological fact, what hope does it have in any other area?
Stop press: Allison Pearson has written an excellent column on this in the Telegraph, saying “the Tories can’t afford to capitulate to the trans cult”.

Ronnie Reagan. The nine most terrifying words in the English language. How prescient he was!
Ed Dowd dropping some unpleasant data-shaped truth bombs, this time focusing on excess deaths in kids in the UK;
”According to yearly excess death data, available at phinancetechnologies.com, the years 2020 and 2021 had negative excess mortality rates, at -9% and -7%, respectively. This means that the death rate among children in that age group was less than anticipated for those years.
These rates dramatically shifted to 16% more deaths than anticipated in 2022 and a projected 22% more deaths than anticipated in 2023. Dowd blamed this rise in mortality on the COVID-19 vaccine rollout for this age group, which commenced in September 2021 for 12 to 15-year-olds and April 2022 for 5 to 11-year-olds.”

Too true, True!
The definition of cancer:
Cancer is a disease in which some of the body’s cells grow uncontrollably and spread to other parts of the body.

Would it be fair to conclude that mRNA vaccines are a form of cancer?
It would be interesting to see some other research into this phenomenon and see what the extra death rate is according to vaccine status. The conclusions that could be drawn from the article suggests, as you do, that these vaccines could have an adverse effect on life expectancy of those who had the jab.
Yes and no. It depends on un-scientific factors, with politicians and monetarists et al being the servants, or sailors. Part of the problem is that some of the practitioners pretend to be apolitical, but in reality they can’t be with certain types of work. Taking account of the financial interests of them may be a good place to start from.
The reference to HIV was interesting – I remember reading years and years ago about some theories that HIV was a ‘by’ product of some vaxx testing in Africa. Now I wonder if it was not a first stab at depopulation, that the same culprits have now tried to improve on and try again. HIV seems to have originated in Africa, as SARS seems to have originated in China, both with enormous populations. These days I discount nothing.
As for only half of the vaxxees suffering from long-term spike / IgG4 class switch, this could be down to individual differences, it could also be as simple as some people got a hot dose, some a placebo, or a lot of people got degraded, expired sludge. It is disgraceful that 3 years out they still don’t know why only some people suffer these problems and cannot determine between 3 options what is causing the problem.
“It should have been tested before mandating” – it should have been tested before being given on a voluntary basis to anyone in the general population. Next time they come up with a ‘vaxx to save the world’, we must insist that those producing it and those wishing to stab people (politicians and public health officials), take it first and let us await the outcome for 3 years.
Good spot. HIV did arise from stabs originally in Africa. As with the mRNA they reverse transcripted a genetic change – probably by accident via the stabs (their underlying premises of what caused AIDs was and is ridiculous). An accident? Maybe not. HIV Potions have garnered $150 billion since the 1980s, funding for the same is often greater than that for cancer….for a disease they created.
I told friends and family from the start that they’d run the risk of becoming spike producing zombies, if they got the gene-therapy.
Simple logic and risk/benefit analysis.
Wow, just lovely! The “gift” that keeps on giving. And by “gift”, I mean CURSE.
How will the purveyors of these vile concoctions ever live this down?
They continue to lie, nothing to see here, move on, etc.
Seems an appropriate place to post this article on spike detox protocols

…if I thought any of them would listen!!
Posted this BTL today, from Dr Peter McCullough…

Nattokinase, Bromelain, and Curcumin indeed. Don’t forget NAC. Niacin, and Vitamin C as well.
Those are included in the article I posted the link to.

His protocol is included in the article.
And what if those that are producing the spike protein donate their blood for transfusions?
I am due an operation on Monday and for that there are usually 2 units of blood on standby. I have specifically stated that I will not allow any blood to be given to me.
I seem to recall that Prof Bhakdi warned that the spike protein would continually replicate ad infinitum not long after they were first launched.
I certainly remember him warning that “if you have the initial two jabs, for goodness sake don’t have a third.”
HE knew.
My ex’s sister is still recovering from a stroke/blood clots that have hospitalised her for months at the age of 50 – previously fit and healthy. Apparently she didn’t want to take any, but her children talker her into it. She only had two in the end. Persuading him that there was a connection to the vax is tricky, but he did at least listen.
