In this episode of The Daily T, Tim Stanley and Poppy Coburn speak with Baroness Sharron Davies, the former Olympic swimmer and member of the House of Lords, following the enforcement of updated EHRC guidance on single-sex spaces. Davies expresses only “tempered joy” at the move, arguing that clear legal guidance comes far too late after years of institutional cowardice and corporate foot-dragging. Blasting the ongoing burden placed on female campaigners, Davies calls out ministers for forcing women to self-exclude or launch expensive crowdfunded legal challenges just to secure basic dignity, safeguarding, and biological reality in public life.
