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 😘😘😘

What I don't understand is, if every political party buys into this dogma, where on earth are women to go? There's much more hope of women within the Labour party reforming things than of a magical new political party being formed which represents all of us.
So I think it's brilliant it's all being challenged - hope there's some kind of resolution for you, Jennifer, and that it doesn't get kicked into the long grass.

The blacklist played a part for sure. Party machine only expels socialists. It would expel corbyn if it cd get away with it,

Hello, nice to see you on here.

Had you been made aware of the two AWSs coming up for Pudsey and for Morley & Outwood candidates? Applications end this week and next, I'll be curious to see who applies.

Thank you so much everyone... it really was a case of just saying what I thought had no IDEA it wd be a shitshow raining down on me but here we are. :-)

If you don't run they can't chase you.

To answer a couple of qs... where we are at atm is there are 2 issues:

  1. Legal challenge to party on grounds of upholding equalities act 2010 legislation - will be paid for out of crowdfunder if the challenge is considered feasible by sols and barrister.
  2. Barrister shortly to send a cease and desist letter on our behalf to close down the secret squirrels and their dastardly plans to send us to gulag. Barrister doing this pro bono.

Re the party... self- id is not party policy, in no NPF document, never even debated let alone decided by conference. Only conference delegates can decide policy and their decision is final.

We need you in yr clps to pass the self id motion in the updates, have the debate and keep pushing. We will do an anti-self id rule change for conference which will settle it if we win. Before that if we can get one passed at the CLPD exec on march 3 then we're halfway there.

We need you ALL to get elected as delegates to conference in Liverpool - we'll have a meeting on this the evening before rule changes are picked for debate.

If we win we all go round Liverpool and party till 4am. Deal?

@sexnotgender would you mind DMing me some info about the Edinburgh talk next week? I'm more of a lurker than a poster but you will find me on here if you search.

sexnotgender · 07/02/2018 15:28

Hello! Good to see you here.

Another horrified woman who can’t quite figure out how the hell we ended up here!

Got my tickets for the talk in Edinburgh next week.
