Dawn Butler, Shadow MP for WOMEN, has doubled down on her hatred.

Who the flump are we supposed to vote for? Tories?!?

except they're the ones who started this cluster fuck

but I tell you, if they grow a pair and tell the cluster B's to get back in their box, then yes, I probably would vote Tory at the next GE

I do think that if the reforms to the GRA are passed the only way forward will be civil disobedience

genuinely

it's a bit of a worry - I don't especially want a police record!

Chilling.

Who the flump are we supposed to vote for? Tories?!?

"I can understand so well why the suffragettes resorted to civil unrest. The absolute head-against-wall hopelessness of trying to campaign peacefully and democratically against such wilful prejudice is so fucking wearing."

Yep, me too. I can feel a spot of massive civil disobedience coming on.

I've just emailed Dawn Butler and told her precisely what I think of her and that I will be actively campaigning against her re-election when the time comes. She's a bloody disgrace to her sex

Do one harrop. You have only “ friends on twitter”

I just can’t get my head round what is so threatening about a meeting? I mean I can but wtf. They might hear some facts? They might be a bit upset by those facts? Even if they disagree with said facts, wouldn’t this be an opportunity to go and put forward a polite, persuasive argument to convince all us wrong wims of your position? No. Silly me. They would rather resort to name-calling, scaremongering and accusations of bigotry

We are constantly told that the reason so many ministers are privately educated doesn’t matter - they are the cream of the crop and have all the brains and therefore are able to make high level decisions on behalf of the country. I would expect a basic level of reading and critical thinking skills, and at the very bare minimum a requirement for impartiality.

Never has it been so obvious why we need things like all women shortlists to be actually all women, as well as removing barriers for other minorities to get into politics. We desperately need some common sense and people who are actually able to assess a situation and stand up for what is right rather than capitulate to bullies on Twitter.

I have always been Labour or Green and can now not vote for either of them, nor the Lib Dems. It would be a cold day in hell when I vote for Tory, so it’s a spoiled ballot for me again if another general election is called.

How is it that so many of us are politically homeless?

I’ve emailed my Labour M.P. about the meeting on the 16th and he has totally ignored it, which is no surprise as he is a total woke dudebro, it is unfathamonable to me that it is Tory men that are now “fighting our corner”. What the actual living fuck is going on.

I can understand so well why the suffragettes resorted to civil unrest. The absolute head-against-wall hopelessness of trying to campaign peacefully and democratically against such wilful prejudice is so fucking wearing.

Don't forget though that Dr Adrian is a MAN.

Who else would a Shadow Minister for Women listen to......

Oh DO fuck off Harrop with your gigantic ego and insistence that you, a gay man, are allowed to charge about haranguing people about issues pertaining to women and trans people when you are neither of those fucking things. God he makes me rage. Mostly I do ok then I read something like this where neither the actual minister nor the shadow minister FOR WOMEN will go to a meeting, a meeting FFS, in case it upsets the menz feelz. Just fucking argggghhhhgh

So, the Minister for Women and the Shadow Minister for Women both refuse to meet with women's groups, to discuss women's concerns, and publicly support misogynists instead.

What do they think their jobs actually entail? Wasn't there a big clue in the name?

Just FFS. Bloody nail in the Labour coffin.

The use of the word ‘that’ in that meeting shows disdain, hatred, othering. We are the people she is meant to represent. Traitor to her sex.

The most effective thing would be for DB's constituents to write to her and to ask her to go - directly referencing the fact that she is doing what she is told by someone who is not in her constituency (is he a member of Labour even?). Yet, she is not even prepared to listen to the concerns of women who she is elected to represent by her constituents and appointed to represent by her party.

Disgusting woman.

He charges on.

This, for me, is the tipping point between 'no longer voting for labour' and 'actively campaigning against them.'

Off to see my Labour female MP on Saturday with a formal request that she attend on the 16th. I'm going to take a copt of that Tweet with me and if she says no or makes excuses I, who have never voted anything but Labour in 40 years, will tell her that from now on I'm going to actively persuade every woman I know not to vote Labour. She has a small majority. I hope she'll listen.

it is starting to look as if the chances of kicking GRA reforms into the long grass will be highest if the Tories are reelected

oh yes

it would be a disaster for women if Labour were to win the general election which I believe to be coming soon

it remains to be seen if I have to stomach to vote Tory

I spoiled my ballot in the local elections

How is it possible that this woman an mp for women with that position when a man shouts jump she says how high ?
She should resign as she is not doin* the job she has been paid to do
What a disgrace she is
Bowing down to a man

Actually posted too soon. My thinking behind joining the Tories was to vote against Penny Mordaunt in any leadership election. But I am not sure I can do it.

Seriously though, it is starting to look as if the chances of kicking GRA reforms into the long grass will be highest if the Tories are reelected. I even thought of trying to join my local party, to push towards a moderate position on this and other things, but discovered it was tiny and off-putting.

At this rate I might even be relieved that Ulster Unionists rather than the LibDems hold the balance of power. FFS, who does represent us.

Never replied to my communications about women and equalities when I was a member of the Labour Party, did you, Dawn?

Not that I'd expect much. The Labour front bench is devoid of talent as exemplified by Dawn. Not the brightest.

Yes, my bad Bernard I'm sure the award from GLAAD had nothing to do with it. Right minded politicians could never be bought so cheaply.

Harrop isn't even in her constituency so why is she so keen to please him?

Presumably because she is an avid follower of him and his alter egos on twitter, and thinks he is just fab.

This, for me, is the tipping point between 'no longer voting for labour' and 'actively campaigning against them.'

Women wanting to keep their rights is hate. Yeah ok Dawn.

So the Labour Shadow MP for women is anti women, supports anti women activism, and is homophobic.

Sadly I'm unsurprised - though as Elephantinacravat says you’d expect them to at least do the actual politian bit of sounding like the give a fuck.
