This has appeared on Twitter, I'm not sure of the background but suspect it's a response to the Labour Women's Declaration

It will be interesting to see how Labour handles this one.

Purging and silencing opponents is not really a good look in a supposedly Democratic Party.

Is that a joke account though? Only set up last October.

Is Titiana McGrath up to her old tricks again? Or have the Brass Eye team set this up to see who is dumb enough (remember 'Cake'?).

Thanks for that tip about the hidden replies, they show a very different story.
Much appreciated

I'm another who's hoping that if this sort of rampant narcissism continues unchecked more (rational, ordinary, non-brainwashed) people will see it for what it is.

If I felt myself to be a victim I'm sure I'd be able to define what, exactly, I was a victim of. A generalised sense of victimhood cuts no ice without facts to back it up and there are no facts available since this self-identified victimhood is a work of utter fiction. When TRAs can explain what human rights are denied this group that are afforded to those outside the group I might listen. I suspect I'll be waiting in vain ...

Let them carry on. The more of this they indulge in, the more remote their chances of being in a position of power to actually implement their Cultural Revolution.

What the chuff is Angela Rayner on? I'm stunned at this

Floisme · 11/02/2020 13:09

Not so long ago this would have upset me. I won't go as far as saying I no longer care as I'm going to the trouble of posting about it. But it's a close thing.

There's a little button that says 'click here to see the replies that have been hidden', it's very illuminating.

Anyone who disagrees with genderism is 'hateful' apparently.

ThinEndoftheWedge · 11/02/2020 13:03

Angela Rayner. Our solidarity is long overdue - The Labour Party should always be an open and safe space for all

Yep - except for woman and girls defending their legal rights to definition, safety, dignity and privacy.

Tories in power for the foreseeable future with this bollocks

transmisogyny - what is that? Grin

littlbrowndog · 11/02/2020 12:51

When did wpuk and LGB alliance become a hate group

Languishingfemale · 11/02/2020 12:48

They're merely continuing in the manner that they started - intimidation, bullying and threatening women. And it's a sign of how powerful this group is that they can write it all down and people applaud it. Confused

Lollygaggles · 11/02/2020 12:44

If I were to write a spoof article, I couldn't do any better than that.

5. Accept that there is no material conflict between trans rights and women’s rights, and that all trans women are subject to misogyny and patriarchal oppression.

Oh, really?

Labour Party makes me think of this song:

Kantastic · 11/02/2020 12:29

This song goes through my head every time i hear any news about the Labour Party lately.

Also this thought: if this is how badly they've fucked up losing, how badly would they have fucked up winning? Imagine this shambles being our government.

Making me grateful for Boris Johnson is not the least of their crimes.

Mockersisrightasusual · 11/02/2020 12:28

What a nasty little piece of fifth-rate Stalinism.

Note the appropriation and deliberate mis-use of the term, 'material reality.'

Feels like literally everything Labour does recently adds another couple of years to their likely electoral wilderness tally.

Alexa, what’s the advice for when lost in the wilderness?

Use the STOP Method:

(S) Stay Calm: Panic is your worst enemy, so take a few deep breaths to calm down. The last thing you should do is hurry off in a haphazard direction, as this may add to your anxiety.

(T) Think: Were you traveling in a straight line or were there a lot of twists and turns? Did you pass any familiar spots or other people? Were you traveling north, south, east, or west? Try to answer these questions, as any bit of information can be useful.

(O) Observe: Can you determine which direction is north? How long will your food and water last? Can you see any obvious landmarks? Do you see any footprints, and if so, in which direction are they headed? Try to find any clue that might help to lead you back to your original footpath.

(P) Plan: Determine which direction you should walk – but do so with caution. Mark your progression with rocks, cairns, or piles of sticks. If you don’t find your way, you can always return to the point where you first realized you were lost.
