Despite the landmark judgement in April that trans women are not women.
MP Rosie Duffield warned the report by Policy Exchange think tank shows ministers must crack down on any organisations failing to comply with the law.
The report found the biggest teaching union NEU said trans women in schools must be allowed to use ladies' toilets.
The National Police Chiefs' Council said they would not 'rush' to change biological sex strip searching rules.
And doctors at the BMA union who called the ruling 'scientifically illiterate'.
Ms Duffield, who quit Labour last year after clashing with Keir Starmer over women's rights, said: 'How many more will simply stay silent and allow local activists to continue to run the show?
'Government ministers must lead from the top to ensure public bodies comply with the law: ultimately, this is their responsibility.
'Radical positions on gender identity have become deeply embedded and it will be the work of years to rectify it.
'There should be no illusions that this is over: there will be many more battles to fight before women's sex-based rights are secure.'

Report author Lara Brown praised campaigners like JK Rowling for shining a light on the gender debate.
But added: 'There is still much more to be done.'
" Schools need to support and treat all their staff fairly, including women and trans staff, and unions can help achieve this.''

New British Army recruits 'should be paid a £10,000 bonus' to help solve the forces' manpower problems and make UK 'war ready'

Britain should pay new recruits a one-off £10,000 bonus as a way of stopping the British Army haemorrhaging manpower, the Liberal Democrats have suggested. Leader Ed Davey suggested the cash be paid out to new recruits who complete their training and serve for at least two years. Additionally, re-joining bonuses for veterans should be increased to £20,000 to help retain talent, under a scheme that would cost the taxpayer up to £45million. The British Army has struggled to recruit and retain soldiers for years, with the trained personnel strength hitting 70,752 in January this year. Sir Ed, who last week visited British soldiers in Estonia, said the bonuses could be paid to help the force reach 73,000, the level desired in the Government's Strategic Defence Review earlier this week. Sir Ed said that UK troops were doing 'incredible work' amid a growing threat from Russia. But he added: 'It is clear that given the threat of a barbaric Putin and the challenge of an erratic Trump, we need to do more to make Britain war-ready. 'A new bonus scheme is needed to urgently attract new recruits, encourage experienced ex-soldiers back into the Armed Forces and reverse years of short-sighted troop cuts under the Conservatives. 'War readiness also starts at home. That's why I'm calling for a public awareness campaign aimed at every home in Britain – to make sure we're all prepared for the possibility of a conflict or hostile acts such as major cyber attacks. 'We need to also step up cooperation with our European friends, including through the Joint Expeditionary Force, to protect our interests in the Arctic and High North against Putin's imperialism.' Ministers have acknowledged the British Army - and other UK forces - are struggling with numbers. At the start of June Defence Secretary John Healey suggested it might be the 2030s before the 73,000 target was met. Asked when the Army would reach the target he told the BBC: 'We've narrowed the gap, but we've still got more people leaving than joining. 'The first job is to reverse that trend and then I want to see in the next parliament our ability to start to increase the number.'

Israel rescue flights for British nationals and their families: What is planned?

After days of demands for repatriation flights from British nationals in Israel, the Foreign Office has set out plans for a first charter flight from Tel Aviv. The announcement follows the US targeting sites in Iran with missiles on Saturday, which is likely to lead to further Iranian reprisals aimed at Israel as the Middle East conflict continues to deepen 'Those with greatest need will be prioritised for flights,' the FCDO said on Sunday. But how will the system work, and what alternatives are there? These are the key questions and answers. What has the UK government said? ' The Foreign Office is inviting vulnerable British nationals in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPTs) to register their interest in a flight to help them depart.' The bulletin specifies there will be a single 'flight to transport vulnerable British nationals and their dependants out of Israel and the OPTs early next week'. The FCDO adds: 'Further flights will be considered depending on demand, and the latest security situation.' How do people register for the flights? 'All British nationals who have already registered via the Register Your Presence portal will automatically be contacted and provided with a link to the booking portal,' the Foreign Office says. 'The FCDO is urging all those interested in flights back to the UK to register their presence now, if not done so already, so that they can receive details.' What are the conditions? The Foreign Office says: 'Those with greatest need will be prioritised for flights. British nationals plus their non-British immediate family members travelling with them are eligible. 'All passengers must hold a valid travel document. Non-British immediate family members will require valid visas or permission to enter or remain that was granted for more than six months.' All prospective passengers are required to pay for seats, but an FCDO spokesperson said unsuccessful applicants will be refunded: 'Those eligible for the flights will be expected to pay for their seat – and payment will be taken on registration via the flight booking form. 'This fee will be refunded to those who are not allocated a seat. This is in line with our approach to previous charter flights from the region.' How will I know if I have been successful? The FCDO will contact those who are allocated a seat on the flight directly. Officials warn: 'British nationals should not make their way to the airport unless they are contacted.' How will the flights be organised? The Independent predicts that one or more aircraft will be 'positioned' to Larnaca in Cyprus. This airport is only 210 miles – well under an hour – from Ben Gurion airport outside Tel Aviv. The proximity means that pilots can decide tactically whether or not it is safe to land. In addition, the rescue flight from the main Israeli airport could be routed back to Larnaca. This would help minimise the time on the ground in Tel Aviv, with no need to refuel in Israel. The Foreign Office stresses: 'The situation remains volatile and the government's ability to run flights out of Israel and the OPTs could change at short notice.' Any other ways out? Yes. The Foreign Office says: 'Commercial flights are continuing to operate from Egypt and Jordan, and international land border crossings to these countries remain open.' The main routes out are from Jerusalem to Amman in Jordan, from where international flights are operating, and from Eilat to Taba in Egypt, followed by a road transfer to Sharm El Sheikh.

RAF base vandalism not justification ] to ban Palestine Action, says ex-minister

The spray-painting of aircraft at an RAF base by a pro-Palestinian group would not provide the sole legal justification for banning it, according to a former justice secretary. The home secretary, Yvette Cooper, is expected to move to proscribe Palestine Action in the coming days after an incident on Friday at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire. Jonathan Reynolds, the trade secretary, said on Sunday it was the 'fourth attack' by the group on a key UK defence asset and that those interfering over a period of time with defence infrastructure should expect 'a very robust response'. 'I would also say those people do no service to the Palestinian cause, which is a noble one,' he said in an interview on the BBC. But reports of a move to proscribe the group, which would in effectbrand it as a terrorist organisation, has been met with criticism by some, including MPs, Amnesty International and the former Scottish first minister Humza Yousaf. A Thames Valley police investigation into the incident has been taken over by counter-terrorism police while the Ministry of Defence (MoD) has said it was already in the process of reviewing security at its bases. Cooper is preparing a written ministerial statement that will be placed before parliament on Monday. Palestine Action released a short video on Friday morning showing two people driving electric scooters unimpeded inside the airbase at night and spraying two military planes. The group said it had targeted RAF Voyager aircraft used for transport and refuelling, and that 'activists have interrupted Britain's direct participation in the commission of genocide and war crimes across the Middle East'. The incident is the latest action in recent years by the group, but it is also a particularly embarrassing breach of MOD security at a site that holds transport planes used by the king and prime minister. The former justice secretary Charlie Falconer said on Sunday that the 'sort of demonstration' that took place at the RAF would not justify proscription 'so there must be something else that I don't know about'. Asked whether the group's actions were 'commensurate with the need to proscribe an organisation', Lord Falconer told Sky News's Sunday Morning With Trevor Phillips: 'I am not aware of what Palestine Action has done beyond the painting of things on the planes in Brize Norton, they may have done other things I didn't know.' 'I think the question will probably not be what we know about them publicly, but there would need to be something that was known by those who look at these sorts of things that we don't know about, because I mean, they got into the airbase which might suggest they've got some degree of ability to make them dangerous.' Criticism came from quarters including the MP and former Labour shadow chancellor John McDonnell, who said on X: 'Prosecuting Palestine Action protestors for criminal damage for paint spraying at the airbase would be expected but putting them on a par with mass killers like Jihadis & Boko Haram & proscribing doesn't seem appropriate & not what the counter-terrorism laws were introduced for.' During a protest march in London on Saturday, Yousaf accused the UK government of 'abusing' anti-terror laws against Palestine Action. He later said on X: 'If the UK Government believes those protesting against the atrocities in Gaza are terrorists, but those killing children should be supported and provided with weapons, then this Government has not only lost its way, it has lost its conscience.' Amnesty International UK said it was 'deeply concerned at the use of counter-terrorism powers to target protest groups.' Palestine Action was founded in 2020 by Huda Ammori, whose father is Palestinian, and Richard Barnard, a leftwing activist. The organisation, which focuses its campaigns on multinational arms dealers and corporate banks, recently targeted a factory in Shenstone, Staffordshire, claiming it made drones for the Israeli army. The home secretary has been the focus of lobbying by groups pushing for Palestine Action to be banned. The Campaign Against Antisemitism said it recently wrote to her, calling for the proscription of Palestine Action under the Terrorism Act 2000 and providing her with a dossier on the group.
