Even the #Starmer government's own Minister for Equalities #SeemaMalhotra MP can't figure out whether or not she is in favour of gender vigilantes, aka #toiletpolice. This is from Monday's debate on the #EHRC's new Code of Practice to exclude trans people.

The page features a dark purple header with the UK Parliament logo and "Hansard," followed by a green section containing breadcrumbs and the title "Equality Act 2010: Code of Practice," with the subtitle "Volume 786: debated on Monday 1 June 2026." The main text reads: "What the code does not provide is the right for members of the public to challenge one another on their sex and access to those spaces. People have been using single-sex spaces with a sensible and respectful attitude to other users for years and will continue to do so. Most people have the common sense to step in when necessary, when a person of the opposite biological sex enters a single-sex single-sex facility in error, for example, or to know when to alert a member of staff. The draft code provides clarity to services providers to ensure that people have access to services that are private and safe." The first sentence is highlighted in yellow, and the phrase "Most people have the common sense to step in when necessary" is highlighted in cyan. The statement is attributed to "— The Minister for Equalities (Seema Malhotra)" Malhotra)".
