'DISGRACEFUL!" COURT HEROES TARGETS FOR VILE ABUSE

Senior Political Correspondent CAMPAIGNERS who won a landmark Supreme Court gender ruling are facing a "disgraceful" campaign of death threats and abuse.

The UK's highest court last week confirmed the definition of a woman in equality law is based on biological sex in a victory for the campaign group For Women Scotland.

But the three women who spearheaded the legal battle described yesterday how they have been hit by a deluge of vile abuse in the wake of the decision.

MPs branded the toxic backlash as "appalling" and "disgraceful".

Conservative shadow women's minister Mims Davies said: "The brave women behind For Women Scotland won a landmark victory in the Supreme Court.

"But instead of being celebrated, they've been met with death threats, misogynistic abuse and appalling attacks on their livelihoods. This is an absolute disgrace.

"No woman should face hatred for defending our sex-based rights.

"The Labour Government must get a grip and act to protect their safety, their voices and defend their right to speak without fear."

Reform UK MP Lee Anderson said it was "disgraceful that these brave women are facing death threats after securing a victory for common sense and women's rights". He added: "The Supreme Court ruling was clear and should now be accepted by all.

"I commend these brave women who fought against SNP lunacy to restore a bit of common sense to the country."

Fiona McAnena, director of campaigns at the gender-critical Sex Matters group, added: "If any more proof were needed that trans demands are a threat to women's rights, here it is.
