For some reason, despite all the other rubbish that gets thrown at us daily, I can’t quite believe the leader of the opposition has today said that it’s wrong to say only women have cervixes.

It feels like we’ve completely broken free of reality. How can he actually say those words? There’s no way he believes them.

I’m a lifelong Labour/Green voter. Now I hope they’re finished forever.

Yes you sort of feel sometimes that gender ideology was invented by the Russians in order to destabilise the west and they're winning.
I said this about three years ago and the idea was pooh-poohed and dismissed as being over dramatic but I’m becoming increasingly convinced it’s true.

“I’m a lifelong Labour/Green voter. Now I hope they’re finished forever.”

I certainly don’t hope they’re finished for ever. Me and the average Conservative have fundamental differences of opinion on most things, so unless one of us had an epiphany I couldn’t vote for them either.

I just want Labour and the Greens to come to their senses on this issue. I don’t want to be politically homeless and I don’t want the UK to be a one party state.

Yeah, same sex marriage vs the complete denial of biological reality and erosion of women’s rights. That’s the same!

It's true though, except even more people were outraged, this time it's just a few.

I think Starmer will have lost Labour a lot of voters today. I'm really disappointed in him.

But progressives could still have a home in the Green Party. It just depends on the results of the leadership election.

I remember people saying the same thing about two men getting married

Putin is pushing in the opposite direction with his "Traditional Values" laws, including the one that allows husbands to hit their wives provided they don't leave bruises.

I don't think it was invented by the Russians, but I daresay they have been very pleased at the effects of it.

The Judean People's Front will not be silenced:

Jeremy Corbyn was heckled by his own brother at a climate change event yesterday, after organisers were forced to intervene and eject a protester.

The former Labour leader was speaking on a panel at The World Transformed, a hard-left festival in Brighton taking place at the same time as the Labour Party’s annual conference.

His brother Piers is a climate change denier and has previously clashed with him over coronavirus and climate policy.

During the event, a protester stood up and began to shout at the panel, before attempting to break through a barrier and onto the stage.

He was ejected by security guards.

Piers Corbyn then stood up to ask a question, but organisers said they would only take interventions from women and people of colour in the audience.

He then began to shout at his brother, and was asked to sit down by a meeting organiser.

One panellist shouted back to him: “You need to ask yourself what level of entitlement you think you have over this space.

“You need to sit down and show some goddamn respect.”

Addressing the audience, she added: “We need to carry on comrades, because we have a massive task ahead of us.”

After the event, Mr Corbyn handed out leaflets that read: “Man-made climate change does not exist!”

Asked whether he thought his brother would be upset that he had disrupted the event, he replied: “I don’t care”.

I feel the same way, like I am watching society being dismantled by an enthusiastic mob. There isn't a single political party, government department, charity or institution that hasn't gone along with it.
