British Medical Association calls anti-trans Cass Review “unsubstantiated”. bma.org.uk/bma-media-centre/bm…

This is major: the BMA is the major union for doctors in the UK and not a niche group, most doctors are members.

Wes Streeting looking more out on his own with his appalling stance.

@Lazarou “We are following the Cass report” (a statement straight out of ‘Politics for Dummies’) is rapidly turning into a millstone. Expect either “I’ve been misquoted”/“that’s not what I meant” or “that’s not what I said”. And, when that fails, “we were gravely misled” and “lessons will be learned”.

There is also now the “Rachel Reeves manoeuvre” where you find “facts that were not disclosed by my predecessor”.

@christineburns @Lazarou @cstross a sudden thought which i'm sure is just me being overcynical.

Doctors to Streeting: "Give us more money or we’ll blow Cass wide open.”

Course it might have been:

Streeting (looking for cover) to Doctors: “Blow Cass wide open and I'll give you more money.”

(I'm not really being serious.)

@StrangeNoises @christineburns @Lazarou The rampant transphobia in British politics today is an ideological Rorschach test for any government. It's esseitnally a canary in the coal mine for far right radicalization, because transphobia was a core Nazi policy back in 1933: that Streeting has even a millisecond's hesitation over trans rights is a very bad indicator …

@christineburns @Lazarou I am expecting the Sir Humphrey move shortly. The one where you decide there are "questions to be answered" (but never specify which questions) and refer it to a public enquiry so that people throw pies at each other whilst you look on from afar without getting messy.

and also *owns* the BMJ. The CEO of the BMJ even emailed all staff recently about how great the Cass report was. The BMJ is editorially independent, but this is a direct slap.
