Meanwhile today –
The MP in question is Zöe Franklin.
So, good policy – if you banish all the lesbians who raise the subject, no one will ever mention it or hear about it again.
Also, completely irrelevant but hilarious – she’s got the umlaut in the wrong place in her own name!! It’s supposed to be on the e, so that people know it rhymes with showy as opposed to show.

I half expected the guy in the white shirt to shout the slogan from the old Harry Enfield sketch “WOMAN! Know your limits!”
And from “The Times”, a related story:
“Drag queen tells police a gender critic broke his rainbow umbrella”.
The alleged incident took place after said drag queen, Tom Harlow attempted to disrupt a protest of GC activists by playing an “anti-TERF” song by well-known OnlyFans star Kate Nash.

Total clown show. More proof the UK police and security forces are doing the extremist Trans Activists’ bidding.
The pedantry police are here to insist that it is a diaresis, not an umlaut. Then again, if you cannot even place it correctly, it’s just alphabet bling. I think some parents have even been known to threaten to revoke a daughter’s diaresis if she renders it as two little circles.
Whoops. The umbrella story’s already been mentioned here:

Alan, thanks – as in Brontë, I just learned. I had a feeling umlaut was wrong…
Since it’s just there for decoration I think it can be justly classified as the umlaut.
Perhaps it’s meant to let us know it’s pronounced “Zer.”
