Wow

Great re Corbyn. Next step is for them to address and confirm their understanding of the definition of 'woman' so that we know if they are worth voting for.

Please god they will withdraw the whip from Corbyn after his response to the report.

Labour are a fundamentally bigoted and hateful party now. As a lifelong Labour supporter, I find that heartbreaking. This report is simply a nail in that coffin.

We could do with a similar investigation into misogyny in the labours party and EHRC

Feminisim includes defending sex-based rights. sex is one of the 9 protected characteristics under the EA.

EHRC in this report:
Most political parties are considered associations under the Equality Act 2010. This means that, by law, they must not discriminate against, harass or victimise members, associates, guests, or those wanting to become members, on the basis of a number of protected characteristics

across all parties against anyone standing up for women's sex-based rights, jewish rights or any right under the EA, are facing calls to get the whip withdrawn (Rosie Duffield, Kevin Price), or hounded out of their job (Luciana Burger)

The vileness shown to Luciana Berger at the launch of the Chakrabati "report " (which Corbyn let carry on and didn't shout down ) tells you all you need to know about what Corbyn's Labour thought about Jewish women.

@DrDreReturns

What's this got to do with feminism?

I think it's reasonable to infer that a party capable of "unlawful acts of harassment and discrimination" against one group of people (the Jewish community) might also have vile attitudes towards other groups too.

Like women.

It's a good point and I didn't wonder myself - MNHQ might want to move it. I posted in FWR anyway, given:
  1. misogyny towards Luciana Berger and others
  2. that groups, including feminists, in the labour party get cancelled for defending their rights.

So remind me again, as a Jewish descent woman, why didn't I vote Labour?

Our investigation has identified serious failings in leadership and an inadequate process for handling antisemitism complaints across the Labour Party, and we have identified multiple failures in the systems it uses to resolve them. We have concluded that there were unlawful acts of harassment and discrimination for which the Labour Party is responsible.
