Am I allowed on here with my kids both grown up? 🤔
I just wanted to say omg thank you thank you thank you SO MUCH for your support for the crowdfunder to keep Labour all-women shortlists just for... err... women. £22,000 now and my sisters here booted it into the mainstream.
Anyway will check back in case anyone has questions.
You Are Mighty
Jen 😘😘😘

You are the mighty - glad you are keeping your chin up.

Welcome.

I dont even have kids, it is not compulsory.

I'm awake because the heating came on early and woke me up.

ShackUp · 07/02/2018 06:09

Thank you Jen for everything. You have lots of supporters here

TellsEveryoneRealFacts · 07/02/2018 06:09

I'm still barred from donating, spoke to you on twitter during the 'refunding' season.

JenniferJames · 07/02/2018 06:10

I have to say, you are spectacularly awesome.

ShackUp · 07/02/2018 06:11

I'm up early because I'm a teacher with young kids who needs to be in work at 7.30! I've always voted Labour for obvious reasons but i can't vote for them since the AWS stuff.

JenniferJames · 07/02/2018 06:11

I remember.. 'almighty god' was it? don't worry there's plenty in the pot x

Hi JJ! I love your work so far!

May I ask, are you challenging your Labour suspension?

mamaryllis · 07/02/2018 06:13

I’m in Canada at the moment. just about to crawl into bed.

Soubriquet · 07/02/2018 06:13

Welcome!

JenniferJames · 07/02/2018 06:13

Been there done that... it was a killer! Had to quit teaching in the end I didn't have the stamina :-:

Another early rising donor here. I can't even believe this battle is necessary! Thanks.

athingthateveryoneneeds · 07/02/2018 06:15

Good morning. I wish I was asleep, but alas, I have an early rising baby.

I continue to be impressed with the women who have donated, who are working against this insanity and bravely facing up to it across the internet and in real life.

JenniferJames · 07/02/2018 06:16

Hey hon! Well there's nothing doing with it... I've known ppl be suspended for years with no actual hearing. Yes, I think my arguments are watertight... but the zeitgeist may be against us. We'll see...

OP posts:

JenniferJames · 07/02/2018 06:20

I love babies! Mine are way too big mow and I miss my little ppl. It has amazed us all. I didnt expect the cf to get more than £100 but it just tapped into all our anger about being redefined by men. Who, lets face it, have taken the piss too much and for too long.

DistaffSide · 07/02/2018 06:22

Hello Jennifer,

a massive thank-you for the crowdfunder and for your work- the first chance people had to really show, publically how unhappy they were with self-ID.

I'm up and working (but now mnetting for a quick break) because I do the paid work of three people (cuts, cuts, cuts) in a field I'm 'lucky' to have a job in and I'm a single-parent with no financial support. Clinging on by the fingernails....
