Wonder how long this will be allowed to stay up.

Hope this is clicky:

Thanks for the link to this. She lists the candidates who have signed the pledge, and Kier Starmer isn't on it. I thought I saw mention on here (FWR) that he had signed it.

Can anyone clarify if he has or if he hasn't.

On the pledges that the leadership candidates signed up to:

"Perhaps a large body of opinion does expect public figures, such as Nandy and Long-Bailey, to denounce public conversation about self-ID and women’s sex-based rights, to prohibit mention of biology, and condemn as a “hate group” – categorised, then, with far-right terrorists – any disobedient voices. But the case for such unique protection must surely begin with something more reasoned – and democratic – than the 12 pledges."
