Today’s witch burning - Rosie Duffield MP

Yes Floral alot of males in the labour-lgbt patrons. this group doesn't represent lgbt and as one of these letters myself, not in my name.

I hope Rosie is OK. She is a brave lady.

It is so sad that women on the left who speak up for women's rights end up isolated and attacked.

Here are the MPs and Lords who are PATRONS LGBT Labour (witch-hunting Rosie Duffield)

There is also a difference between the Labour Party and the Leader of the Party. Strictly speaking The Labour Party investigated Corbyn for antisemitism, not Keir Starmer (although many would call this smoke and mirrors).

I emailed my MP who is Labour and cc’d Rosie and Keir Starmer. I urge everyone to do so if they have not already. I expressed my support for her, disgust at lack of support from Labour MPs, and ask for confirmation from my MP for her and Labour’s position on a number of issues including protecting single-sex spaces and whether Labour actually is a safe place for women.

I think he has already picked the side of the fence he's on

I don't think it's so much that he has picked a side as that he thinks the issue doesn't matter to the electorate and it's a sop to throw to the OJ wing of the party.

This is of course short sighted because if he ever does become PM, he would have to create legislation which would either completely undermine equalities and human rights legislation (Anyone is who they say they are, so no more protected characteristics, comparators, weighing up of competing rights etc.) or lead him to be branded as a traitor.

What is happening to Ms Duffield is appalling. I will be emailing her, copying Starmer and my (useless) MP in, telling that I support her.

It is time for Splinter-Arse Starmer to get off the fence, along with the whole political class.

I think he has already picked the side of the fence he's on, given that he made a video recently committing Labour to Self ID, and Rosie Duffield tweeted at one point that he hadn't contacted her privately at all in the face of the misogynistic bullying campaign against her.

He also hasn't responded, as far as I'm aware, to anybody contacting him directly about this issue. Numerous women have been refused entry to the Labour party on the grounds of being GC (including Karen Ingala Smith when she attempted to rejoin) And Labour are now 'investigating' Rosie Duffield's tweets.

He has picked a side, I'm afraid. It's not ours.

Also it doesn't specifically mention trans people.

That article misinterprets the wording of the tweet when he refers to "queer". Why didn't they publish a screenshot of it?

I have had many comments rejected by the Times. I made one about Lisa Nandy and what she said. It was rejected. I actually saw her say it!

Where do we write to Keir Starmer? I've had enough of this now and should have had enough of it long ago. These people are terrorists - as extreme as any camo clad American militia guy spouting off hate.

It is time for Splinter-Arse Starmer to get off the fence, along with the whole political class. Helen Joyce talked eloquently about the need for a united stance by politicians on this. I don't even care anymore if it's the tories.

If she loses her job over this it will be the end of voting for labour for me. Really difficult as I’ve always voted labour but I can’t support them if she suffers from this.

The article uses the term trans several times, implying that the tweet also referred to trans people. It didn't.

I have commented but it's not been approved as it was critical of the article.

That's a reallynpoor article and misrepresents the tweet she liked.

Agree. The tweet was about use of the word ‘queer’, which indisputably does now include many people who are both heterosexual and gender conforming.

It is alarming to be faced with a red warning after trying to post a Comment, asking if I really want to post that Comment, but no indication of what the Times moderation system considers wrong with the Comment.
In one comment that I was warned about by the Mod system, I wondered if the problem (perceived by the Times Mod system) was a single word (the word 'honeypot'). I replaced the word honeypot with the phrase 'bottomless pot of gold' (with reference to research funding) - the Comment went straight through onto the page, no problem.

The Times is losing subscribers because they say they are fed up with their Comments perpetually being disappeared.

I've been trying to follow this but that Times article is the first time I've seen an investigation mentioned - is that happening?

I'm going to send Rosie D a message of support this morning, cc'd to Labour HQ.

Is the investigation a chance to get Starmer off the fence finally?
