Something is going on here, i can't work out what, but it's much bigger than stonewall.

article continues:

"Fair Play for Women spokesperson Nicola Williams invited selected press to the Tuesday meeting, but they - including talkRADIO - were asked to leave by Mr Davies.

He said that the politicians in attendance would not want to be "grilled" by journalists.

Labour MP Tonia Antoniazzi, who arrived before the meeting had started, said she would leave if the press remained in the room.

Journalists were not permitted to observe the meeting, but were allowed in ten minutes bfore the end.

Conservative MPs Maria Caulfield and Andrew Selous attended, as well as Labour MPs Karin Smyth and Paul Williams.

Caulfield and Selous said some of their constituents had written asking them to attend, and Caulfield said that she would write to women and equalities minister Penny Mordaunt, who first brought the consultation about, to ask her to extend it."

Hopefully these MPs will be thanked for attending.

Thank heavens for David Davies. He is brave, and noticeably alone. However he is protected by being both male and an MP. I am sure he too would acknowledge how much more difficult it is for women who are neither, to speak up.

This is a Government consultation ffs.

Why ever would any of this make anyone think we're living through the pre-conditions for the Origins of Totalitarianism?

Nothing to see here. Move along.

Are the people doing this ever going to wake up and wonder just what they've done and how they can begin to unpick it?

Penny Mordaunt?

More here from TalkRadio:

"Conservative MP David Davies says he has been threatened with police action because he held meetings in parliament on transgender concerns.

He held a meeting in Portcullis House on Tuesday morning for the campaign group Fair Play for Women, who are opposed to proposals to make it easier for transgender people to legally change gender.

“As an MP I’ve held three meetings like this,” he told talkRADIO.

“The second one resulted in me having to spend a long time with the serjeant-at-arms [the official responsible for security matters in Commons], going through what we were trying to do as if we were trying to do something outrageous.

“I then had a three month investigation by the standards commissioner.

“I was threatened by a police investigation by another Conservative member of parliament.”

In March, Lib Dem MP and LGBT rights campaigner Zoe Williams reported Mr Davies to the standards commissioner, saying he was charging for tickets for an event that he held on behalf of campaign groups in the House of Commons.

The complaint was not upheld."

I think there is an error in the article and that the complaint was from Zoe O'Connell LibDem councillor (Cambridge) also Stonewall trans advisory group.

LizzieSiddal · 16/10/2018 16:33

A govt consultation being discussed and a govt mp wants to call the police? Why?

R0wantrees · 16/10/2018 16:32

Would be interesting to know which Conservative MP threatened him with police action.
