Keir Starmer's 1 monumental failure could be his biggest defeat yet

Few thought the revolution would start in Darlington.

The outpost market town in County Durham is so far removed - both politically and socially - from London it might as well be in a different country.

Or, to put it another way, exist in the real world.

While Sir Keir Starmer and his painfully listless government, a politically correct obsessed army of robotic bureaucrats, and brigade of holier-than-thou activists and lawyers preach from on high, oblivious to the concerns of everyday folk, many millions are forced to carry on amid the madness.

When we come to look back on the period of irrationality that has strangled Britain it could be that seven fearless women working as nurses in a northern hospital - a job that encapsulates care and compassion like no other - will be seen as modern day heroines.

If anything captures the blindsiding of Britain by a woke agenda it is their fight: Today they will not be at work treating the sick and vulnerable because they will be at an employment tribunal arguing how it is fundamentally wrong - morally, ethically, and in law - for a man to undress in a female-only changing room.

It would be laughable if it were not true.

Our differences enrich our lives, with Britain still remaining a welcoming and all-embracing nation of tolerant people.

But that goodwill has been hijacked and the slow drip of a public sector's obsession with inclusivity at all costs has led us to this defining point.

We welcome disagreement, of course, but if there is one thing Brits cannot abide it is such obvious injustice.

Instead of nipping this politically correct madness in the bud Labour has reinforced it. In state-run institutions anyone can be anything, with those daring to challenge accepted mantra sacrificed at the altar.

The denial of biological sex - which with vanishingly few exceptions is essentially the argument that black is white - has become a cancer metastasising across the UK.

How ironic it is then that seven nurses working for the NHS, none of whom wanted to be thrust into the national spotlight, could be the ones to excise it.

Today the women will continue their fight against County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust which has allowed a man identifying as a woman called Rose to use female-only staff changing rooms and, according their testimony, ogle them while doing so.

If that was not disturbing enough it has continued in defiance of a Supreme Court ruling and in spite of concerns raised to management about genuine fears for their safety. Its response? Educate yourselves.

Make no mistake, this is a crisis that affects all areas of the public sector - education, local and central government, the courts, and charities.

But none has rolled over and had its tummy tickled by dangerous and divisive dogma quite like the NHS.

Millions of patients will be rightly furious that at a time it is a struggle to be seen, a state-run service appears to pander to the few at the expense of the many.

For them the NHS hears, sees, and speaks no evil.

The nurses have filed claims against the trust - for whom taxpayers will pick up the cost of its defence - on the grounds of sexual harassment, discrimination, victimisation and breaches of the right to a private life, under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights.

No one in Britain will have likely heard of Carly Hoy, Annice Grundy, Lisa Lockey, Jane Peveller, Tracey Hooper, Bethany Hutchinson, and Karen Danson.

But the outcome of their case could be seismic with the legal ramifications potentially profound.

Put simply, it might no longer be acceptable for public bodies to ignore the law, or sacrifice safety and dignity, just to appease agendas.

It is why future generations could owe a monumental debt of gratitude to a group of women who have become known as the Magnificent Seven as they fight a war none of them wanted but decided was important enough to do in the name of common sense and decency.

If they win, they will surely be known as Angels of the North.
