Previously, the venue said that the views of staff would be “respected”.Ī spokesman had added: “We will not compel our staff to work on this event and so have concluded that the event is unable to proceed on a properly staffed, safe and legally compliant basis. Ms Cherry agreed to take part at the one-hour show in August, before a U-turn following the staff backlash. It emerged in the opinion that Tommy Sheppard, also an SNP MP who holds a majority stake in The Stand, had helped arrange the event. Ms Cherry released a legal opinion from Aidan O’Neill KC stating that he believes the “only conclusion” was that Ms Cherry had been discriminated against because of her “philosophical belief”. UK case law has established that gender critical beliefs, such as that sex is immutable and that people cannot change from being male to female, are protected meaning it is unlawful to discriminate against someone due to them. However, the legal advice received by Ms Cherry states that this is not an excuse which would justify the cancellation of the show legally. The venue has said that it is unable to allow the event to go ahead safely due to the refusal of staff to work at it. If they don’t agree with my reasonable requests, I intend to ask the court to decide on the issue.” “I have asked The Stand to apologise to me too. My primary goal is to have the actions of the Stand acknowledged as unlawful and to ensure the event proceeds. Ms Cherry added: “This is not about money. If they do not, she said she would take “whatever legal action is necessary to vindicate my right not to be misrepresented and not to be discriminated against”. The SNP politician, who has become a vocal critic of her party’s plans to allow Scots to change their legal sex by signing a declaration, on Monday issued an ultimatum to the venue demanding they back down. Joanna Cherry on Monday published a legal opinion backing up her claims that she had been unlawfully discriminated against by The Stand, which axed an “in conversation” event claiming its staff had refused to work at it. Roisin Quinn, director of customer connections at the National Grid, said: “This net zero milestone comes as we’re investing in the biggest upgrade to the grid in a generation, enabling more home-grown renewable electricity to power the country than ever before.An Edinburgh MP who saw her Fringe show cancelled due to her gender-critical beliefs has vowed to sue the venue unless they reinstate her appearance and apologise to her. Solar proliferation has grown locally tis year, but this is the first major nationwide The UK’s solar capacity currently stands at approximately 14GW. These will total $9bn of investment by 2026. These will come across England in the form of both standalone and co-located solar battery systems. Enso and Cero alone will look to add 5GW of capacity from 38 energy projects in development. The UK aims to reach 70GW of solar generation by 2035. Enso director Ian Harding stated: “Completion of this project is a major milestone for renewable energy in the UK and provides further evidence that co-located solar and battery storage projects connecting directly to the transmission network will play an important role in the delivery of the UK’s net zero plans.”
