Bromley & Chislehurst CLP apparently. Heartening read, assuming it's true. Lily et al not happy about it on Twitter, calls to attend the meeting and vote it down.

Positive news, hope people feel brave enough to vote for truth over lies.

Nothing would make me rejoin Labour now. I'm done with it. Not one of the MPs or Unions has the courage to stand up against the misogyny. They are all content to sit there and see ordinary women members be abused. And, I include all women MPs and women Union officials in my contempt for Labour and the Union movement.

[It's all very well being told that some women are working in the background to effect change within Labour but that doesn't help the women being abused right now! If Labour MPs and Union officials had the courage to speak up this would lessen the current levels of abuse and at the very least demonstrate that women in Labour are not isolated.] Cowards, each and every one of them.

[Ditto contempt for all other political parties.]

We need a new organisation, some sort of Women's Association, that represents adult human females and says so publicly.

Not that long I don’t think but it is really important to sign up if you want to support as we need left leaning folk. It’s vicious in the party where I live so don a hard hat if u are a socialists. Tho maybe it’s easier i some part say of country.

You have to be a member for 12 months [or is it 6 months] before you can vote on any party issue.

So interesting. Genuinely brave! I haven't joined the Labour Party though my in laws are active members and I usually vote them or Green, but as this would be my local branch, I am now tempted to join to see if I can help with this!

Many thanks for sharing OP.
