Jeremy Corbyn - webchat to discuss self-identification of sex

243 replies

On the Andrew Marr Show today, Jeremy Corbyn indicated that the Labour Party is in favour of a policy of people being able to self-identify as the opposite sex.

Could we get Jeremy Corbyn on Mumsnet to do a webchat in order to discuss the implications around this?

If he is unavailable, could we have another senior Labour figure?

Thank you

Bump Smile

Also, I really hope that the Daily Mail DO steal this thread!

I taught ds the proper words when he was little in protest to them being taught bloody ‘oh Christmas tree’ in school.

I can belt out a chorus of "Red Flag" in case he's forgotten the words.

We should doorstep him. If the mountain won't come to Mohammed then Mohammed (or Mumsnet in this case) must go to him.

Turn up at his front door first thing in the morning with a tin of shortbread.

Maybe chain ourselves to his railings if need be.

Might wait until Spring though, can't be doing with a sub-zero protest at my age.

Who's up for it?

No Je-re-my Corrr-byn! No Je-re-my Corrr-byn!
I think he is running scared of MN.

Thanks!

Thanks OP for suggesting this and Lorna for responding. This definitely needs to be discussed.

Just to say we haven't forgotten about this, and are waiting for an update from our Press team.

Absolutely. Not a brainwashed cult.

Or because there isn’t a Dewey eyed fan club hanging on his every word and cheering every statement. Or chanting.

When it comes to preaching to the in converted he does seem to get rude, stroppy and snippy.

tobee · 25/02/2018 14:40

I don't think Jeremy will come on because he might actually have to say what he thinks. He doesn't really do that so he can fool people he's speaking for them (ironically). Look at the way he is about Brexit! Etc. Etc.

Any news?

cista · 24/02/2018 12:41

I think the Labour party are hoping our lil lady brains will simply forget about this request...

Bump...

FaithHopeCharityDesperation · 23/02/2018 20:56

It works to the time of Pinball Wizard aswell...!!

Hipster! Noooo, that ear worm is too good... Jeeeerrre- meeeeyyyyeee, Je-rem-eeeee

'Cause since I've come to Mumsnet
Well my mind has been a mess
And I've missed your silver hair
And your lefty style of dress
Won't you come on over
Stop making a fool out of me
Why don't you come on over, Jeremy?

Any update, MNHQ?

Even if it is "We've asked the LP twice and they've ignored us".

Be good to know.

Hopeful bump!

Middle class - nope

Mother - foster/adoptive

Labour voter - yes

Continuing to vote labour - not while they continue to sacrifice women

Maybe if we start a chant or something?

I’m desperately trying to remember he politics of my student days. Lots of chanting, marching and shouting (half the time not knowing what was going on and bugger all actually getting done).
