Andy Burnham, Mayr of Greater Manchester, has hired an advisor, Carl Austin-Behan, to help him think of what to do about "the row" over All-Women shortlists. Austin-Behan's solution? Party members who campaign against trans women being fully accepted as women should no longer be allowed in the party.

Austin-Behan described opposition as "Utter rubbish; if people are trans women, then they are women.”

So just for clarity's sake - that's a male, advising a male, that other males should be allowed on all-women shortlists, and that for anyone to oppose this would be ridiculous.

Winetime for me...
