The author of Labour's trans pledge tweets 'BYE BYE HONEY!' at Boris Johnson

I hope this has been brought to the attention of the woke twats in the Labour party, anyone on Twitter etc and can do this?

HorseRadish this Google Doc lists the founding members, Flo is included docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd_wPyenUicSJgKv1YTknZ47gDGU4b_389zYbqH10TGSTRrpg/viewform

You would think they would have some compassion for their fellow man...

I’m personally hoping this will be like Scrooge getting a visit from the ghosts of Xmas and BoJo will emerge from ICU and get back to work with enough of his term left to properly implement the funding the NHS needs.

Not that he is likely to go back to work any time soon, life after a spell in critical care is complicated: link.springer.com/article/10.1186/cc8848

What an arsehole. I can’t believe senior politicians are associating themselves with these people

Neither can I. It's just dire.

Look, I dislike BoJo as much as the next person

Getting tired of the assumption that everyone on here hates Boris Johnson. I don't

If I hadn't been in a safe Lib Dem (over SNP) seat I would have voted Tory.

I don't hate Johnston and when the alternatives are Corbyn or Sturgeon I'll take Johnston. Starmer has a long way to go to get me back.

What an absolutely poisonous tosser. Boris Johnson is seriously ill and this is the response? It speaks volumes about this person and as for Labou signing pledges emanating from such a source? No words.

Well said koshkatt

Here's Starmer's chance to pave the way for an improved Labour Party. He can call out and kick out this prick, condemn the vile tweets and show some dignity, humanity, and class or he can ignore it and hope it goes away

I think we know what he will do here. Nothing.

I was answering JanMeyer's post. I wasn't trying to tell you anything. It's a forum for opinions right? Just giving mine.

What kind of a twisted bastard would say that! What a sick wbw.

Which of those he chooses will have a significant effect on my likelihood to vote labour in the future.

I think Boris was doing a good job. His personality was right for this but even if he had been terrible this is appalling.

Well that's us told

I am not asking people to pretend that they 'like' him, just to put compassion for another human being above getting in their political credentials. It's like people are terrified of others thinking that they may be right wing just because they wish him well. All seems a bit 6th form politics to me.

Well that's what I'm doing, I'm treating him exactly like he thinks sick people should be treated
And I think that this is a really juvenile statement btw.

I am glad Angela Rayner has been challenged over this.

The whole Labour Party leadership need to know who those who signed the pledge were in thrall to.

And it is crass to preface any good wishes towards him with 'I hate the man but...' as I have seen all over MN in the past 24 hours.

Why is it crass? Do you want people to pretend to like him just because he's sick?
I hope he doesn't die because it would be a political nightmare. Beyond that i don't really care. Because I'm showing him the same level of compassion he and his party show for the sick and disabled.
You know that old saying, treat others like you'd want to be treated. Well that's what I'm doing, I'm treating him exactly like he thinks sick people should be treated.

What an arsehole. I can’t believe senior politicians are associating themselves with these people.

Boris needs to be beaten at the ballot box, not taken out of the running by debilitating illness.

I know I shouldn't be surprised by this after all these years, but... it's the crass lack of self awareness and irony.

The TRA movement relies on the fuel of compassion. 'Be kind'. 'Do Better'. Don't offend people, prioritise the feelings of others, be inclusive, embrace glitter and rainbows and unicorns and mermaids. Don't be a hater.

Yes, feminists who've felt the iron fist in the lacy laydee glove have always know it's all one way, but I still find it shocking to see the double standard being displayed so shamelessly.

The title of the thread describes this person as the "author of Labour's trans pledge" but I've been googling away and can't find any references at all regarding who was behind it.

Could somebody provide the links, please?

If this person is the sole or even one of the authors it should be shouted from the rooftops and connected to that tweet.

All of them are no doubt astonished to discover that someone who devised a vicious, misogynistic pledge has turned out to be a pretty horrible person. Idiots

This in spades.

*luck = look

Reprehensible.

That's appalling and Labour need to deal with it, it really isnt a good luck for them - the mettle of Starmer's leadership depends on getting that house in order quick-smart. I wouldn't wish this illness or death on anyone - let alone the person running the country. I hope Boris recovers - it won't help any of us if he gets worse. I'm a (very) left leaning woman but I sincerely hope Boris recovers and his baby isn't born without a daddy. That would be awful

What a vile person.

But absolutely right about Angela Rayner. The fact that she, along with Nandy and Wrong-Daily, were stupid enough to sign such a nasty pledge demonstrates that none of them has the capacity either for critical thought or even any basic political nous. All of them are no doubt astonished to discover that someone who devised a vicious, misogynistic pledge has turned out to be a pretty horrible person. Idiots.
