EG Group, their forecourt business, has sounded out banks for a potential listing in 2025, which would mean a significant payday for the brothers and their private equity partner, TDR Capital. They are considering a listing in the US — where the company now makes the vast majority of its money — though it is understood that any potential float is still in its early stages and no final decision has been made. Since it was founded in 2001 as a single forecourt in Bury, Greater Manchester, EG Group has gone on a debt-fuelled expansion,HUNDREDS of trans hospital patients have been admitted as women despite having conditions only suffered by men. Analysis by The Sun suggests at least 482 were admitted as female in a year despite having prostate, testicle or penis issues. They included 263 who suffered hyperplasia in the prostate — a non-cancerous enlargement of the gland that cannot occur in biological women as they do not have prostates. Another 85 had prostate cancer and 48 had “disorders of male genitals”. Figures cover the year to March at hospitals in England and Wales . NHS rules allow trans patients to have their gender changed on databases but kept off patient records.

Forty Democratic women sent a scathing letter Wednesday calling on state party Chair Mike Schmuhl to take action following another case of sexual harassment. “These allegations and the many preceding them are shamefully ignored by Party leadership. Women who bravely come forward to report sexual harassment and assault are repeatedly met not with accountability or even acknowledgment but with silence and complicity,” the letter said. “Leadership consistently sweeps these issues under the rug and allows perpetrators to remain in power, knowingly placing women in vulnerable and dangerous situations. This is a deeply troubling pattern in our Party, and it must end immediately.” Schmuhl released a statement saying the topic deserves more attention than a simple response or press statement, and he appreciates the women voicing their concerns. “We have taken a number of steps to address sexual harassment at the Indiana Democratic Party during my time as chair and we will be sharing more of that information with our state central committee at our next meeting. “I think it’s also important to note that IDP is a separate employer from a political campaign, city government, or state government. That being said, our values are vital and I will work with these leaders and all stakeholders to build more trust within the party for the future.” The move comes after the Indianapolis Star revealed three women were allegedly harassed by Indianapolis Democrat Sen. Greg Taylor. Taylor did not deny the allegations, and he was re-elected to lead the Senate Democrat caucus within hours. Most of the women went through the state party’s leadership program called Hoosier Women Forward. Others who signed on are Democrat delegates, precinct committee persons, or city and county councilwomen. The letter said “leadership’s deplorable inaction repeatedly leaves survivors no choice but to risk further trauma by recounting their injuries to the media in search of accountability. “This is reprehensible and profoundly unjust. While recent public outcry has elicited a few tepid statements of condemnation from Party leadership, these statements lack substance, conviction, and most critically, solutions. “These hollow statements and the silence of others within the Democratic Party, whether born of apathy or complicity, send the devastating and unmistakable message to women across the state: Indiana Democrats do not care about you.” In addition to the incidents involving Taylor, Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett has drawn criticism for not firing a top aide after several harassment situations. And Sen. David Niezgodski, D-South Bend, allegedly harassed a young, female former employee: at the office, in voicemails, over texts, and even showed up to her home. His company settled with the former employee for $8,000, according to the Star. The letter goes on to accuse the Indiana Democratic party of hiding allegations and sheltering offenders. It also demands transparent investigations into all allegations of sexual harassment and assault involving party members. “Moving forward, should another survivor of abuse come forward, the Party must hold the perpetrator accountable, and it must help the survivor, not silence her. Words of condemnation alone are not enough. Meaningful action is the only way the Party can regain the trust of Indiana women. Without it, the Party will further alienate, and ultimately lose, the women it claims to support,” the letter said. It ends by saying there is no future for the party without women. “Your response outlining a plan where survivors of abuse are acknowledged, believed, and protected and where perpetrators are held fully accountable is expected and required. We demand that you act now.” This and other Indiana Capital Chronicle articles are available at indianacapitalchronicle.comDodgers Star $71 Million Outfielder Projected To Cut Ties With Los Angeles For Twins
