We are live tweeting from the preliminary hearing of the Employment Tribunal case in which #AllisonBailey is suing Stonewall and Garden Court chambers.
The judge has ruled that for this hearing only, the names should remain redacted.
It is a Rule 50 Order. These particular individuals are members of Stonewallâs Trans Advisory Group and their names may well be known elsewhere. What is relevant is the messages from the group to Garden Court.
The judge states she would not make the same decision at the full hearing. This is only for the preliminary hearing.
Having dealt with the anonymity issue we now move to the main submissions in the case.
The entire first part of the hearing related to messages sent by certain individuals from the Stonewall Trans Advisory Group seeking cooperation with trans allies at Garden Court. So far all the discussion has been about whether their names must remain redacted.

This is a GREAT argument to pull up when talking to people about minimum wage. Some others nested below
A large number of new jobs being created are minimum to low wage, so looking for a new job generally wonât increase pay.
Raising minimum wage helps things not directly related.
Helps Infant mortality? Yup.
Lowers Suicide? Yup.
Reduce smoking rates? You bet.
It also boosts the local economy! Minimum to low wage earners spend more % of their money, so an increase means more is spent, often in community!
Low paying jobs are often in sectors which would gain from this. More people spending money in your shop makes your business more money! Now you have more profits and increased labor costs are covered.

In reality, you're paying for it. Over 50% of people on food stamps are actively working. The leading employers are Walmart, McDonald's and Amazon.
As taxpayers, you're subsidizing corporations to pay literal poverty wages.

@WestJournalism DemoKKKrats just LOVED the BLM/Antifa rioters when they descended upon DC! Nancy Pelosi even Tweeted:

I would like to see Democrats produce even one shred of evidence or just one example of President Trump calling for insurrection. Just one. That's all.

We welcome the presence of these activists, and we strongly urge the Capitol Police to allow them to continue to organize and participate in our democracy.

Recent musings on payments as it relates to $SHOP + $FB: first some basics, then a few thoughts on recent developments
TLDR: Capturing % of GMV great for SHOP (already well appreciated), but perhaps even better for FB (still early days, unlikely to see impact until Q3 this year)
1) $SHOP launched Shopify Payments in mid 2013 and this substantially changed the trajectory of its business, which previously didnât scale (directly) with the GMV running through its platform
Shopify Payments today is ~75% of SHOPâs faster growing non-subscription revenue
2) Shopify Payments currently drives ~50% of $SHOP revenue and is enabled by 2/3+ of all SHOP merchants (in đşđ¸ 90%) accounting for nearly 1/2 of GMV generated on SHOP digital store fronts
As we all know, Shopify Payments is powered by Stripe, so not available where Stripe is not
3) Per filings, $SHOP charges ~275 bps gross yield (rack rate is 2.4-2.9% + $0.30 depending on which subscription plan a merchant chooses) and makes ~90-100 bps net yield on Shopify Payments, after interchange and processing fees paid to Stripe and downstream (WFC/FISV)
4) For the < 1/3 of $SHOP merchants and 1/2+ of GMV not on Shopify Payments, the merchant brings its own 3rd party payment processor
In this scenario, SHOP only captures a nominal transaction fee on the non-Shopify Payments GMV (~25bps on blended basis)

WOW, Mike Gapes and Joan Ryan are non-Labour JLM conference attendees discussing disciplinary processes with Keir Starmer and Angela Rayner but not a privilege afforded to the people who pay the wages of the party machine. #LabourLeaks #StarmerOut #LFI https://t.co/XZDKR5FmXC
So what should Peter Mandelson talk about at the recent Jewish Labour Movement conference â his worries that an independent process will hamper the party leader Keir Starmer?. #LabourLeaks #StarmerOut #LFI
Mandelson âwas there in the 1980s and understands where the power bases of the right are, and how it should be exercisedâ. Who needs independent processes or oversight when you are in the driving seat?. #LabourLeaks #StarmerOut #LFI
Poale Zion trades as Jewish Labour Movement is a part of the Zionist Federation of the UK and organise within the World Zionist Organisation. You do NOT have to be Jewish or a member of the Labour Party to join. JLM contains CIA asset Ruth Smeeth. #LabourLeaks #StarmerOut #BICOM
Ruth Smeeth, one of the 60 plus anti-Corbyn resignations from the shadow cabinet, formerly held a post with the lobby group, Trevor Chinn's Britain Israel Communications and Research Centre (BICOM). #StarmerOut #BICOM #JLM https://t.co/H2a9vnsnRP

No-regret #hydrogen:
Charting early steps for Hâ infrastructure in Europe.
đSummary of conclusions of a new study by @AgoraEW @AFRY_global @Ma_Deutsch @gnievchenko (1/17)
https://t.co/YA50FA57Em
The idea behind this study is that future hydrogen demand is highly uncertain and we donât want to spend tens of billions of euros to repurpose a network which wonât be needed. For instance, hydrogen in ground transport is a hotly debated topic https://t.co/RlnqDYVzpr (2/17)
Similar things can be said about heat. 40% of todayâs industrial natural gas use in the EU goes to heat below 100°C and therefore is within range of electric heat pumps â whose performance factors far exceed 100%. (3/17)
Even for higher temperatures, a range of power-to-heat (PtH) options can be more energy-efficient than hydrogen and should be considered first. Available PtH technologies can cover all temperature levels needed in industrial production (e.g. electric arc furnace: 3500°C). (4/17)
In our view, hydrogen use for feedstock and chemical reactions is the only inescapable source of industrial hydrogen demand in Europe that does not lend itself to electrification. Examples include ammonia, steel, and petrochemical industries. (5/17)
