Labour Party Mass Resignation Letter

83 replies

DJLippy · 18/04/2018 12:36

Mayday for Women are arranging a mass resignation letter. Quote

  • After this letter it is clearly not tenable to remain. We’re therefore finalising a collective resignation NOW. If want to resign over Self-ID dont do it alone - join other women! We’ll be sending letters of names into newspapers. Email name + CLP to [email protected]

We’ve so far gathered 300+ signatures of women who wish to resign if Lab formally agreed Self-ID for AWS. That’s now happened through this letter.
Women are so angry about this many wanted to leave months ago. We’d discussed a Women’s strike for May elections. #LabourLosingWomen *

I've added my name to this letter. I've never done anything like this - eeek!

If you choose to disenfranchise yourself thats fine. But then don't wonder why no one is listening to you shouting from the sidelines.

Another who has already resigned her membership, or I would be signing.

@trans1976 I'm not sure what your point is? Unless you want to sign the letter move on.

I've already left Labour or I would be signing too. Told them my reasons and also told canvassers when they came round the other day. Apparently quite a few people had said similar.

Why does social conditioning not apply to women? #hypocrisy

Well done Lippy! I've signed up too! At least you're not on you're own with over 300 of us to keep you company Grin I think I will breathe a huge sigh of relief once I've finally left.
