If you're feeling charitable, at worst boomers and the silent gen are ambivalent about whether or not transmen/women are men/women, with everyone younger siding with transpeople. As usual the kids are alright.

e: I do very much like the statement: 'the research had uncovered little interest in “the latest ‘gotcha’ trend of posing questions to senior politicians about whether or not women can have penises”.'

It's extra funny seeing this written in the Grauniad where it's likely published through gritted teeth.

Ah mind you they end on the trans peeps in sports question which is the wedge issue transphobes loving looove because they always portray it as a musclebound adonis in a wig vs. a crying 6 year old girl.

Does anyone seriously believe our landlord ruling classes are going to put this through? They'll probably rewrite it to say people can be immediately evicted for asking to get a pet.

Well the results of the review have been announced. They might just get around to writing a bill in 2023, but there's so many more important bills to give money to their mates in Parliament that it's still in limbo in 2024 by the next election, so renters if you want rights vote Tory!

Meanwhile, Labour refuses to say whether they back the contents or not during the election campaign.

I don't recall whether it was based on the same research, but someone posted some similar numbers ITT a couple weeks back. Despite all the noise from Twitter transphobes most people in the UK really don't appear to have a strong opinion on trans folk either way, which is at least somewhat encouraging. It's that joke again about how there are only 200 full on anti-trans nutjobs in the UK, but they all have a newspaper column. The biggest negative numbers in the study look like exactly the things that transphobes are always banging on about in the Guardian, although whether that's their columns having the desired affect or just that those are the easiest dividing lines to write about I don't know.

If anyone finds a link to the actual white paper, I'd appreciate it. Generation Rent have expressed concerns over the new definition of reasonable grounds for eviction and it would be useful to read it in detail.

:tinfoil: time, but are they putting this through now because they suspect Tory MPs will start to revolt against Boris and this policy is expendable?

Wonder if Labour will bother to find an excuse to vote against it or just abstain

This is actually pretty much what they said in the 2019 campaign. Then they got in and of course it went right to the back of the burner what a surprise.

My growing theory is that the tories know the country is absolutely hosed, they know they've destroyed everything and they're deeply unpopular, and they just don't want to be there to deal with the aftermath. So they have a twofold goal:

1) goad the public into voting them out so they can sit in comfortable opposition seats blaming labour for everything,

2) while they're waiting, take the opportunity to do all the nightmarish poo poo they wouldn't be able to get away with if they had to care about staying in power

The problem is that 1 hasn't worked because it turns out the consent manufacturing juggernaut they created has turned the public into utter cunts who think 2 is good actually, and if you dun like it, 'eres the fackin door.

So Trump shits the bed and slaps big steel tariffs on China, Chinese manufacturing reroutes all that steel to the EU, EU puts big tariffs on steel, UK leaves EU, then has to choose between becoming a WTO pariah or completely killing the moribund UK steel industry? Something like that? Where is the personal profit for Johnson's cronies here, because it just looks like a major fuckup all round. I guess there will always be market speculation and insider trading to cream off some disaster capitalist profits

You're making the basic error of assuming Boris has read literally anything about steel, international trade agreements, or politics before making his decision.

Having a look, landlords will still be able to evict you with two months notice if they are selling the property or moving a family member in, so wet fart it is.

Being able to terminate a lease with notice because you either want to sell the property or use it yourself is hardly unfair.
