Labour lose 3 points - ALL women leaving the party

"The 3-point fall in the Labour share [in You Gov poll] is entirely explained by a 6-point fall among women (from 46% to 40%)"

CON 43 (+1)
LAB 39 (-3)
LD 8 (+2)

@jenniferjames says "Oh fucking hell. I broke the Labour party. :-( "

I've got very mixed feelings. On the one hand - go everyone! They'll have to take notice - surely?

But - Jesus Christ let's not let the Tories have another term.

But - we have to stick up for ourselves don't we.

Starting to think the people who say the rapid rise in TRA ideology is being fuelled by those who stand to benefit from a divided left might have a point. Sad

Flag this nonsense to Piers Morgan.

There is an abundance of evidence of totally inappropriate behaviour.

Ereshkigal · 19/02/2018 11:32

I'm still a member and going to complain.

Patodp · 19/02/2018 11:24

I'm not a member.
I'm contacting as a voter as it is effecting my voting intention.

Sorry I'm not sure that answered your question OlennasWimple

LifelongVaginaOwner · 19/02/2018 11:21

Do you need to be a Labour party member to make a complaint?

I think it depends what you are complaining about. I'm not a member but I complained about the secret Facebook group & 'the list' but that was because I was on it. In this case, I was targeted by Labour members acting in their capacity as Labour members. I therefore felt I had a right to complain.

If you are complaining about 'bringing the party into disrepute' or breaking other party rules then I suppose the LP may wonder what it was to do with you (to be blunt). There's a danger mass complaints from non-members just look like bullying and lose impact.

I suppose there could be some argument that Labour voters or 'natural supporters' have a stake in how the party is approaching women's rights. You could also argue that behaviour like this is a barrier to you joining the party - particularly if you have been a member in the recent past.

Thanks both

Complaints go to compliance [email protected]

“Who do you actually contact to report Lily's malicious behaviour?
Can people start making noise and complaints?
”

You write to the General Secretary, Iain McNicol, giving full evidence to support your complaint.

If you have evidence that Lily Madigan or anyone else has brought the party into disrepute, then the way to deal with it is to raise an official complaint.
Grumbling on social media and/or resigning in disgust achieves nothing.

Last year, three Labour Party members were expelled for promoting a cross-party candidate that was not a Labour candidate in the GE. Labour didn’t stand a chance: it was Jeremy Hunt’s rock-solid Tory seat. Someone made a complaint and this enabled them to take action.

So mature.

AngryAttackKittens · 19/02/2018 09:00

Feminism is icky, says the Women's Officer.

Fekko · 19/02/2018 08:54

She might be right there - technically!

LifelongVaginaOwner · 19/02/2018 08:49

Jess Phillips spent last night tweeting about the BAFTAs. She was tallying up the number of male vs female winners. Pointing out the overwhelming number of men who were winning (bearing in mind most categories are open to either sex). Anyway this was the reaction of a Labour Party women’s officer.

At want point does the party acknowledge that this person has zero interest in women’s rights and equality

I guess it’s a personal Twitter account. But if I was to launch attaches and snipes at people in the industry I’d get sacked for bringing the business into distripute.

AngryAttackKittens · 19/02/2018 08:04

Does nobody who's still in the Labour party object to being used to settle this arrogant child's petty personal grievances? "That lady said something on Twitter that hurt my feelings" should not be something the party feels obliged to help resolve.

LizzieSiddal · 19/02/2018 08:00

“Not allowed to say to much”

Yeah right, I expect we’ll never hear anything else about it. (Because you’re a fantasist)

athingthateveryoneneeds · 19/02/2018 07:42

Where is the oversight here?

NotTerfNorCis · 19/02/2018 07:34

The power is going to Lily's head.

TheGoalIsToStayOutOfTheHole · 18/02/2018 23:50

produced a document criticising the candidate which is to be delivered to all the households in the area where this candidate is standing.

What the fuck? Lily is now actively trying to stop Labour candidtaes getting elected?! Why is Lily able to get away with Lilys behaviour? And why is noone taking a closer look at him? I thought it sounded a little too conspiracy theory to me when someone on here suggested a while ago that Lily was a Tory infiltrator...but its seeming less and less tinfoil hat by the day now, I have to admit.

OrderOnline · 18/02/2018 21:57

If it's the same group yes, and they want men in the refuge too.Shock

OvaHere · 18/02/2018 21:52

So Sisters Uncut who last week were supporting a man accused of battering a 60yr old woman in a court case are today protesting about domestic violence via the Baftas?
