JO SWINSON ON LBC NOW

When are these complete fuckwits going to realise that if they're supporting something that falls to pieces when exposed to criticism, and their understanding means that they are not capable of defending it, then there's something fundamentally wrong. This isn't even a point about trans

It is an indictment of a frivolous, superficial, Twitterish mindset. It shows an inability to rationally evaluate the consequences of policies and a contempt for voters. All of the above are cogent reasons for keeping politicos like this at a safe distance from the foothills of the corridors of power.....

Sorry, bold fail

*Has some kind of bat signal gone out in the BBC saying "proposed legal changes for trans people conflict with women's rights" and this has finally attracted the attention of some prominent women in the organisation?

I agree, *nauticant, what is causing this seeming volte face within the BBC - or at least R4?

She's having a difficult morning!

Swinson, like the rest of them, does not understand what she is advocating. She has not thought it through, and that's because she's worried it might infect her with wrongthink.

I cannot stand Ferrari under any circumstances, and I'm prepared to bet that his "playing a blinder" mostly consisted of constantly interrupting and refusing to let the interviewee finish whenever she said anything he didn't personally like.

The lib dems are my natural party and I can't vote for them. Nor do they want my vote.

They have really lost me on this. The Day with the seeing into souls and beards in the HoC committee was the end for me and they have only dug deeper since.

Werent risk assessments the bloody reason we had sex segregated spaces and truthful identity documents in the first place?

You can sort everything with risk assessments.

Why don't we just risk assess everyone all the time? It is the answer to all the problems.............Who pays?

It's fab isn't it? Jo swinson and the lib dems exposed. It does make me sad as well. The lib dems are my natural party and I can't vote for them. Nor do they want my vote.

Good God. Doesnt matter what long wonded bollocks she spouts it all comes down to one thing. He nice/respectful.

Yes women be nice and search that mans body cos hes X and has a preference...fuck off

Love the dodging if the question where you cant even issue a description of a threat to the county

Yes, Jo you willl be judged, riduculed and bullied as we all are because you are a natal woman, so why not support your sex?

Emma Barnett is on FIRE

She's absolutely destroying Swinson and showing her up for the hopeless spineless self-serving human being she is

She deserves the inevitable career obscurity

Summary:

Swinson: many vulnerable trans people, rates of suicide is trans community much higher, "there's not a hierarchy of equality", huge discrimination, self harm, risk assessments will prevent abuse, sensationalised, no checking of birth certificates in toilets.
Barnett: "but I asked you a question about women in shelters, you're ignoring them", "how will you guarantee women's sex-based protections?", "why did you overlook sexual harassment in the Lib Dems when you were Women's and Equalities Minister"

TL:DR summary: Swinson really really struggled with that. If she still thinks that going along with trans activists is good for the Lib Dems then she's a complete idiot.

Why are the Lib Dems making this such a huge campaigning point?

This is the pertinent question. What audience are they playing to?

Emma is quite cool. Jo flailing

Has anyone posted Jean Hatchetts discovery about Lib Dem funders?

Go Emma! ODFO Jo, 51% of your electorate are not that hateful 'C' word

Why are the Lib Dems making this such a huge campaigning point? I thought the whole point was to get self id through by stealth, because it's such an obviously batshit policy that the less questioning about it the better.

Who do they think that are appealing to with this policy? Even Labour finally fucking get that they may have to rethink this.

'On your head' - yes it will be Jo. and we will remind you.
Ooh! now she is being racist.
