I don't really like having a go at Jess. She does good work and I know how hard it is for MPs to stand up, especially in Labour. But at some point she needs to find a backbone.
I thanked her yesterday on twitter for a fairly innocuous tweet as did many other women. Then she deleted it. It hurts. it feels like I'm being manipulated.
Kathleen Stock apparently felt the same.

@CorrBlimeyGG

How do you think Kathleen must have felt?

Kathleen is quite the bully herself. Why are you holding her out as a victim?

Evidence please.

She could have just muted notifications on that thread. There’s obviously more to it.

I know. I do feel like why should she have to stand up when so many others won't. But then if you are going to make a career out of being a straight talking feminist but you won't put your head above the parapet even a little bit then what is the fucking point of you?

Tbh I think that's a fair comment about not wanting to be copied in on other people's arguments.

I'm also sure that Jess knows that it doesn't matter if it has been deleted. It WILL be remembered and WILL be used as evidence against her, at least until she makes the ritual apology and vows to "do better"

Mollyollydolly · 14/10/2021 14:37

Not to me. She's an MP, does she believe in something or doesn't she? Does she stand by her convictions or run away from the bullies? How do you think Kathleen must have felt?

Her reason for deleting seems perfectly reasonable to me tbh.
