Is Michael Pain forgetting that not one of the major studios would finance Life of Brian, and it took an ex-Beatle to mortgage his mansion and literally start a film company to get it made in the first place, and then when it was released, it was immediately banned in a LOT of places?

Every time you see a Labour MP heading to the toilet, make sure to intercept them and demand documentary proof that their Supreme Court-undefined "biological sex" matches the socially constructed gender signifiers in the icon on the toilet sign, and then simply refuse to accept any proof they give

No vote necessary; it will be brought in via a negative procedure. See the briefing by the trans solidarity alliance. Essentially, sent from the EHRC to Philipson, who can enact it without a parliamentary debate or vote. (Not that I think a debate and vote would work in our favour)
