Not sure if this has already been posted. Lily Madigan, the women's officer, saying that a group of women they disagree with can go fuck themselves. Labour are a fucking joke.

If I go to the 'be fluffy and nice in politics' meeting - will I have a stroke?

SirVixofVixHall · 09/10/2018 09:01

Yes Needmoresleep, that’s the most depressing thing in all of this.

Needmoresleep · 08/10/2018 23:37

Yet MPs won’t meet groups such as Fair Play for Women, or a Woman’s Place.

It’s clear who counts, and it is not voters.

SirVixofVixHall · 08/10/2018 23:33

Judder - that Is so unbelievable that it crossed my mind it was a joke. Who is stupid enough to have chosen LM for this , of all people ?

HerFemaleWoman · 08/10/2018 23:27

I don’t mean to sound like I’m making excuses for them that’s why I informed all of sundry of tweets. I am doing the same with any abusive tweets now from these people, I’ve even tagged police in one tweet because I’m sick of it of them thinking the can hide behind bigot transphobe crap

It was just the pregnancy and womb transplant thing that I can’t get my head around other than they brainwashed and something not right.

Honestly I’m all for women’s rights, think I not coming across way I mean to, so I leave it here as I’m tired and in delicate snowflake witching hour mode.

rightreckoner · 08/10/2018 22:47

Vulnerable or not, giving LM a platform has certainly done a lot of damage to the cause of transgender people, to women’s wellbeing and to the Labour party’s reputation. Perhaps the Labour Party could avoid placing such powerful tools in the hands of vulnerable and apparently not very bright people in future. And maybe they could ask women. Just for the hell of it.

SirVixofVixHall · 08/10/2018 22:30

The post is only for a year, that year was up a while ago I think.
I don’t agree that LM is “vulnerable” . LM is 21 soon, that is a fully grown adult, not a teenager, and as such should be held responsible for really unpleasant and dangerous treatment of women. Shame on the local party for ever giving LM this role.

HerFemaleWoman · 08/10/2018 21:43

I gave all the Labour heads heads up on the tweets last night and this morning including Labour Press offices. I’m not after witch hunt of LM I honestly believe now that they have probably been used and maybe take advantage, isn’t that who stonewalls main target younger generation? If LM has been sidelined by Labour that’s when we see if likes of Haddock will give a fuck. This is something I’ve question, yes all fair enough change gender but where is the after support in real life for these people other than bloody leaflets and few cheerful claps on internet.

My DS is very impressionable and this thing I worry about, he not as self aware as my other child.

Anyway fancy a change of subject here’s a video to watch

I guess that Lily must have given up on party politics now. Lily seems more suited to the NUS. Hmm

BlackeyedSusan’s post at 22.42 yesterday (earlier on this thread) shows Lily tweeting a selfie of themselves in a see-through top, Lily’s chest and nipples showing and emojis of two fried eggs in a frying pan is the caption.

I mean, that’s absolutely the tweeting style of all young female aspiring MPs: commenting on the flatness or not of their own breasts while posting tits-out pouty selfies with their nipples showing, isn’t it?

I do recall on a deleted thread here people talking about Lily’s apparently Tweeted intention to post selfies of Lily’s own breasts over time, to see how long it would take Lily to get banned from social media as Lily’s new hormones took effect.
(again- just exactly how all the other young women in politics tweet..)

sorenipples · 08/10/2018 21:36

I presume there is no conspiracy. Either the role reached end of tenure or it was ended early because Lily moved.

Lily is now no more than any other member of the labour party.

CisMyArse · 08/10/2018 21:35

Is LM still WO for Rochdale?

FekkoTheLawyer · 08/10/2018 21:34

Kinder, Gentler Politics: Report Launch are you fucking kidding me?

Judder · 08/10/2018 21:33

Oops there's more: Its' about "Kinder, Gentler Politics: Tackling online abuse in political debate." er words fail me

Judder · 08/10/2018 21:32

Irony alert. Madigan of all people has been chosen to speak at this Government event. Free if you want to go.

sorenipples

That makes sense.

Someone on a twitter thread suggested the CLPs are all having switch around right now.

Did Lily step down? Did Lily finally get removed? Did someone finally quietly take some action that might suggest someone, somewhere, realizes what an utter liability Lily is?
Anyone know when this very quietly happened, so as not to alert the fan club?

sorenipples · 08/10/2018 21:04

Ova I've noted a few things that don't seem consistent across tweets, for example having a GRC. It may be that lily tries to simplify things for twitter.

OVAgroundWOMBlingfree · 08/10/2018 20:39

Inconsistencies from the Lily M account? Is that because they have/had two?

sorenipples · 08/10/2018 20:30

I'm having trouble screen shotting from my phone. Here's an archived link. archive.is/mGzNS

I've previously noticed a few inconsistencies on this twitter feed, so not sure if it is a reliable source, but other than that have no reason to doubt it.

QuilliamCakespeare · 08/10/2018 20:19

Can you screenshot @sorenipples ? That link doesn't work for me.

stealthsquirrelnutkin · 08/10/2018 20:03

Given this, and the absence of her launching new campaigns to have women removed from the labour party for daring to think oppression of women is due to biology maybe it's time to let her fade into the obscurity of any other first year student.

Agreed. No need to take up witchhunting just because the other lot do it.

sorenipples · 08/10/2018 19:34

I know . And that kinder, gentler politics event is complaining about transphobia but all I can see is complaints about her behaviour which are completely irrelevant to her identity . I'm not sure what that anonymous organisation is (which complains about anonymous accounts) but I can't see how it can ever have any credibility now.

SturdyEarmuffs · 08/10/2018 19:33

I expect the student union beckons Hmm

FekkoTheLawyer · 08/10/2018 19:33

What course are they taking? I thought higher education places checked people's social media footprint to see if you were... (I can't finish that sentence politely).
