Labour reject Karen Ingala-Smith's membership application

Nice one! Lols chez horse...

Not ‘we’re having a laugh’?

Their new party slogan should be "Who Cares Who Wins".

Labour ban founder of Counting Dead Women for being able to define who she is counting

There are no words really.

It'd be funny if it wasn't.

Labour showing us once again that they are the party for the men, not for you.

Did they want her to call it Counting Dead People Who Sometimes Wear Lipstick?

Your. Bloody phone

Helen Steel is incredible. I’ve listened to DJLippy’s podcast before but it’s still worth a repeated visit. Thank whatever you’re deity is that there’s women like her. And it’s quite a list.

Much as was the case with Trevor Phillips, I don't want to be part of a political party that has no place in it for Karen Ingala Smith. In this case I am very much judging people by the company they keep and the company they reject.

Thank you R0wan
Very interesting to hear the perspective of somebody who spent a fair bit of time dealing with him.

I still have my fingers and toes crossed that he will undo some of the damage done by magic grandpa.

Also a history of her clashes with those within the left over her gender critical beliefs including an incident which is yet unreported (I belive) incident kicking off her disquiet.

Also for those following the labour party leadership campaign check out her take on Kier Starmer - who represented her (for free) during the McLibel case"

If they were elected they'd be answerable to the public, so of course they don't want that. I think Starmer does, but if he wins the leadership who knows if he'll be able to get anything done with the rest of the party kneecapping anyone rude enough to make a suggestion that might appeal to anyone outside their bubble.

In a nutshell. The whole insane and sorry mess. My only question is why she would want to go near the zombie corpse of what used to be the Labour Party.

It's pure Marx. ....Groucho, that is.

"I wouldn't want to join a Party that would have someone like me as a member."

Genius.

But Keir has hidden his stance has he not? He should be asked about it?

I feel so sad that one minority ideology has taken over a mainstream party to the detriment of so many.

I still have my fingers and toes crossed that Keir will be able to row the party back from this insanity under the convenient cover of Covid
but by golly he's going to need thick skin.

I thought expelling Trevor Phillips was a new low but the Labour Party just keeps on giving.

It's pure Marx. ....Groucho, that is.

The Labour party has become an irrelevance. Jeremy Corbyn has, even, now descended to claiming that the financial measures put in place to support the population, as a result of the coronavirus epidemic, are a 'victory' for Socialism and the Labour party

That was a corker wasn't it?

Just go away Jeremy. Nobody cares what you have to say about anything.

Labour is broken.

Ah, if only she'd called her organization Counting Dead Not-men. Then Labour would have been happy to see her.

5/3/2020 Maya Oppenheim for The Independent:
'Names of women murdered by men in last year read out in parliament
‘This is unfortunately not a number that goes down, but is in fact a number that is going up,’ says Jess Phillips'
(extract)

"The latest Femicide Census revealed 149 women were killed by 147 men in the UK in 2018 – with almost two thirds of the victims killed by their current or ex-partner.

Frontline service providers raised concerns about the figures and argued government cuts to domestic abuse services are putting women’s lives at risk.

The annual study, which started in 2009, tracks the numbers of women killed by men to show the killings are not isolated incidents.

Karen Ingala Smith, chief executive of Nia, the charity behind the census which delivers services for women and children who have experienced male violence, said: “There is a high degree of normalisation of men’s violence against women and no end of excuses or rationales assumed and extended to perpetrators often without foundation.” (continues)

Kirkuk’s clarity is exceptional, and he is right.

Do senior Labour figures read the Spectator?

Whenever the term “gender-identity” is used, just substitute with “male-entitlement”.

So much this. So fucking much this!

No room in the Labour Party for Trevor Phillips and now no room for Karen Ingala Smith either.

That corner it is painting itself into is getting smaller and smaller.
