Ocado has apologised to Mumsnet after pulling out from a partnership “citing Mumsnet’s ‘hateful political views'” because the forum included a call to clarify the definition of sex in the Equality Act in its 2024 manifesto.
It follows the judgment by the Supreme Court on Wednesday, that the definition of a woman in equality law is based on biological sex, meaning transgender women with a gender recognition certificate (GRC) can be excluded from single-sex spaces if “proportionate”.
