Labour has failed women.

I’m resigning from Labour Party over this issue.

There is no one left to vote for. I can't vote labour. I can't vote conservative. Seriously, who are you supposed to vote for?

It is such a shame The Womens Equality Party sold real women down the river.

Such a missed opportunity!

@Collidascope I'm neither a Labour member nor on Twitter but I'd love to see a #LabourLosingWomen series of photos of membership cards being destroyed or disposed of in inventive ways.

Cut in half on the tray of a sanitary bin? Bloody towel/tampon optional.

Thanks RedToothBrush will do!

JenniferJames thanks for the update. I donated to your crowdfunder and would do it again but sadly I've lost all trust in Labour - if they are winging it now, God knows what they would do in office.

@IndominusRex

I will vote for whoever stands up against this madness. I am now a single issue voter.

This. I intend to write to every candidate asking them what their policy is.

I've cancelled my membership. Very sad as I do not know who to vote for now. But I will not vote for a party that can treat women like this. The hypocrisy over the Suffragette anniversary and suchlike also sickens me. Words are cheap, but it is the actions that matter.

I had such great hopes for a Labour government at the next election. So sad, so angry.

Just to stress as I've had a couple of PMs, contact mayday4women direct not me. I'm not part of them.

I'm just the monkey who saw the message on twitter and reposted it, so people could see it that did make me chuckle. You’re a very good monkey. Have a 🍌. Actually after that brilliant suggestion. Have a whole bowl of 🍇 🍈 🍉😁

I think you are in denial. This is coming from the left.

Spot on. The amount of cognitive dissonance in parts of the party on this is astounding. It’s clear that Corbyn had no intention to support or even explore anything other than a complete acceptance of self ID. The appointment of the terrible Bergdorf was a big ‘fuck you’ to women and was made at the highest level. Bypassing established affiliates.

I just wish I hadn’t already left so that I could leave again.

No! Not me. Get in touch with MAYDAY 4 WOMEN @mayday4women

2) why is it Gender Pay Gap, and not Sex Pay gap?

Because Sex Pay sounds like something a punter gives to a ... ?

I know the use of the word 'gender' over 'sex' has been more common as 'sex' sounds so salacious, but it just makes me wonder if we have sleep-walked into a problem.

Get in touch with Red or with mayday?

Fuck knows where my membership card is though. Happy to diy craft a temporary one!

Red - I was thinking the same. #ManFriday perhaps?

I've had a word on the tip of my tongue all morning re: the Labour party's treatment of women but I haven't been able to quite articulate it. It just occurred to me though: contemptuous.

Utterly fucking contemptuous

Yes! I'm in! Can my DH be in too though or just wimmin?

They were talking on twitter last night about getting at least 100 women.

That’s a brilliant idea RedToothBrush. A mass resignation would definitely be something the papers would be interested in.

MAYDAY 4 WOMEN @mayday4women

WOMEN! Stop resigning individually from @labour - we keep receiving copies of resignation emails from women leaving over Self-ID.

Rather than do it individually let's coordinate together and make it something mass that can get press coverage.

Get in touch if you're up for it.

I know it's been said, but seriously, please use your next vote to send a clear message that women have been seriously let down.

I find it so insulting that they think that women are so aquiescent that we'll just go along with any old nonsense and keep voting for them.

It's to do with the collapse of the centre.

Yep. Neoliberalism is eating itself and we need a new centre position, stat. I'd probably still be left of that new centre position but that doesn't mean I can't see it's what we desperately need.

"Can someone PLEASE start a new party? One that is by women, for women and centres women in their politics?"

One would need a million pounds, PLUS a LOT of really passionate, dedicated women up and down the country.

We just don't have that.

I think you are in denial. This is coming from the left.

The left is allowing itself to be taken over by groups from the fringes with anti-progressive aims.

Something similar is happening to the right. However, no one would seriously argue that the right is being infiltrated by the left in a cunning plan to destroy them from the inside.

Both the left and the right are doing this to themselves. It's to do with the collapse of the centre.
