Congratulations @David_Goodhart @jessbutcher @sumeithompson1 Lord Ribero - I hope they return EHRC to its mandate of upholding the Equality Act and protecting everyone's rights without hierarchy.
In particular: I hope they sort out the mess of guidance on single sex services https://twitter.com/trussliz/status/1326485053287915520

They will have a job to do in revising the current unworkable guidance, but lots of support to do it from women and service providers who want clarity https://a-question-of-consent.net/2020/05/25/the-incoherence-of-government-guidance/

EHRC's failure to hold open this space for clear, legal and evidenced based discussion has allowed ideological capture. Mangled science. Meaningless data. Compelled speech, and lead to society’s most vulnerable women placed at risk

(... and if they want to know what skeletons in the cupboard & unexploded landmines they are inheriting in the org they are taking over they should watch out for the much delayed and objectively awful draft guidance for schools on 'transgender children) https://fairplayforwomen.com/draft_ehrc_schools/
