Comrades,

The framing of the self-id debate as 'Corbynistas vs. Mumsnet' is a deliberate tactic by the right wing propaganda machine and done to undermine Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour party and paint it as hopelessly divided. We're not.

It is important to remember that only a Corbyn gov't will lift women out of poverty, build homes, invest in the economy, make tuition fees free and stop invading the Middle East. Jeremy, though he doesn't hold our position, is the only Labour MP who has not only come out and said that women are entitled to a debate and to campaign against self-id, but that we have a right to raise money to see if the Equalities Act 2010 exemptions are being misused by AWS.

Hope everyone is well. Mumsnet you are indeed mighty.

There wasn't actually anything inaccurate in the article.

Corbyn has been getting a holy slagging on Mumsnet for what he said on the Andrew Marr show.

And rightfully so in my opinion.

Being entitled to a debate is thin pickings. Esp from someone who publicly backs self id.

Jennifer, I understand the stress of this campaign has caused you to be medically signed off work. FlowersBrewCake

Please take care of yourself, maybe a social media break for two days? We need you strong!

While you continue to have Lily Madigan as the ridiculous figurehead for "Women's" officer I cannot either trust, respect or vote for Labour again.

So many things to say to JC. If he doesn't come on here and hear us I think he is doomed for failure.

You don't think people are falling for it? Or you fell for it and don't like that being pointed out to you? 🤔

Yeah I'll get him to come on here cos HE LIVES IN MY CAR and DOES WHATEVER I SAY.

Fall for it?

Being patronising isn't great, from either direction.

Persuade him to come on here and actually have the debate, rather than just telling us we can't have it.
