Last month the Good Law Project raised over £100,000 in donations to “force” the Metropolitan Police to investigate Partygate, only for the Met to announce they were already planning to do so; Jolyon’s expected legal fight never came. The £100,000 raised for that specific campaign isn’t being returned to donors, however, as the Crowd Justice FAQs page makes clear.

Jolyon and his GLP chums have now picked their new battle: backing Stonewall’s campaign to revoke the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s status as an independent group over its “determinedly anti-trans stance“.

Co-conspirators will note how different this case is to Partygate, which is the reason the GLP has an extra £100,000 in its coffers…
