We’ll never know unless it actually comes to a vote, and House of Lords recommended it for the special attention of the house… but yes, Phillipson won’t willingly call for it to be selected for debate, it’s essentially hers.
Of course; all bets are off now.
I confirm I will stay safe and won’t travel. It was a regrettable, but sensible and inevitable safety decision for you to cancel given the red warning, and given I’ve already been speaking with my MP about it, attending on my own would have achieved little but a health risk. Thanks for your efforts.
I think you have misread the letter and situation.
The letter is hostile to our enemy, as I’m sure was the meeting: it is trying to get answers they can’t give, so we can use those non-answers in advocacy.
It does not suggest our rights are otiose: it correctly suggests the SC judgment is absurd.
I understand your position. I have already met with my MP and liaised with her, and given recent events (including earlier this morning, and the train crash the other day closing the line and cancelling the train I would have taken), it does seem circumstances make it unlikely. I will think it over.
That’s disappointing, and given the time of the EHRC guidance, there is a risk to life if I *do not* attend. I am considering whether to attend in any event.
The EHRC guidance is incredibly bad and I’ve sadly already lost acquaintances because of what’s happened in this country since the judgment - but I totally understand, I’m advocating directly, and I’ve considered and decided not to travel on Thursday.
