Like all Leftists, Labour's attitude when they disagree with a court ruling is, "Courts? We don't need no stinkin' courts to tell us what to do!"

Figures working for the government and the NHS are allowing men who identify as women to use single-sex spaces.
It has barely been two months since the UK Supreme Court ruled that the terms “woman” and “sex” in existing equality legislation do indeed refer to biological sex, as opposed to self-defined gender identity. Yet reports suggest some institutions are acting as though this ruling never took place.
Civil servants at the Department of Transport were told by their ‘LGBT+ network’ after this judgement that they can decide themselves whether to use “any appropriate single sex toilets and other facilities.”
It is assumed that the individual knows which facilities are the best match for their gender identity and expression.
This assumption ignores the Supreme Court’s protection of single-sex spaces at workplaces and elsewhere.
The Daily Mail adds that “members of LGBT+ networks in other government departments also sent messages expressing disappointment with the court ruling,” which one critic described as highlighting “how out of control staff networks are.”
At least one NHS hospital trust has also been accused of flouting the law on biological sex by allowing a male colleague who identifies as a woman to use a single-sex changing room. This claim was lodged by the legal representatives of eight nurses who are suing the County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust on the grounds of sexual harassment, discrimination, victimisation and breaches of the right to a private life.
A spokesman for the Christian Legal Centre, which is advising the nurses, told The Times:
There are no signs since the Supreme Court ruling that this NHS trust is prepared to make the radical changes needed to abide by law.
This is unlikely to be an isolated incident.
Official guidance on the Supreme Court’s ruling should be released in July, although efforts are underway to frustrate their publication.
