Labour's batshit opinions on women's rights

168 replies

Conference season is highlighting some interesting opinions from Labour mps on women's rights (although when asked about women's rights they always turn this into a discussion on trans issues)

I thought it would be useful to collate into one thread, feel free to add.

Starmer 'Only women have a cervix' is, "Something that should not be said."

[quote BraveBananaBadge]Janice Turner being brilliant as ever on the Red Box podcast from the conference (around the 8 min mark):

Janice was good, Matt Chorley is a bit of a knob on this issue.

Sod the Tories,Labour and the rest. We need an adult human female political group. We can call it 'Woman'.
I’m in.

That twitter thread of quotes. All the tories have to do at the next election is shove that through every door in leaflet form. Another landslide. Such a depressing thread.

They can't even be bothered to stick around to answer questions. Looks like even meaningless waffle is too much effort.

Oh my god, we do need this with JKR as the leader

Great posts on here, thanks to chattylion in particular.
It's all so bloody odd. I'm a bit of a Tory but getting leftier as I get older, contrary to the usual path. I'd love a decent opposition to this current shitshow though Sad
I emailed my very-safe-seat Labour MP when the Sunday Times had JKR on the front page and just got the party line back about TWAW (keep on saying it Jeff, doesn't make it true)

The general vibe at conference

Shouts of “shame!” and boos as a Labour delegate tells the conference hall she stands with Rosie Duffield and she will defend her right to hold her views on biological sex.

So much for respectful debate and women being safe at conference

I just listened to Lucy Powell MP twitter.com/fairplaywomen/status/1442371947443142656 - its interesting they can see that many trans people are very vulnerable and mentally unwell, but can't make the link that that is more often the cause than the result of a transgender identity.

The transmen I have encountered professionally are definitely among the most vulnerable in society. And transgender ideology is harming them.

@ScreamingMeMe

Alex Sobel's tweets where he says he doesn't think women should have their own spaces, and that there are no problems with "gender neutral" toilets.
And he does not need our votes, thats lucky eh.

Lucy Powell: trans people are among the most abused, traumatised suicidal people (link to a tweet with the clip).

I wouldn't mind a chat with Alistair Campbell to find out his thoughts on this current state of affairs.

PoisoningPigeons · 28/09/2021 12:36

I don't know why he doesn't put it back up. He might as well.

Exactly. Why the sudden coyness?

Fariha31 · 28/09/2021 12:25

Sorry that was ment for @StarryGazeyEyes

Fariha31 · 28/09/2021 12:24

@ChattyLion

Jesus wept. Genuinely, I don’t believe the UK public are on board with the reality this whatsoever, if they realise what it actually means for women and girls.
Iv just cancelled my DD and, frankly cant even be bothered to email them to say Iv left. So your more than welcome to do my resignitation email if you wish.
Rhannion · 28/09/2021 12:22

That’s where Collective Responsibility gets them!

@Fariha31

The fact they are all reading from a script, litterly it seems to me indicates he is trying for a Cambell style obiediance push.
They are literally reading the same script, it’s mind boggling and appalling
Ereshkigalangcleg · 28/09/2021 12:16

At least it's clear though, none of the waffle there. I have some respect for that.

I don't know why he doesn't put it back up. He might as well.

ArabellaScott · 28/09/2021 12:12

Yes, at least he is being honest. Sobel, I mean.
