Stella Creasy says women can have penises

Thanks. I haven’t been there for about fifteen years and London areas can change so rapidly.

I'm not sure what Stella's purpose was with all the awful tweeting.

I am dismayed she is my local MP and will be for the foreseeable time.

Walthamstow used to be a multi cultural borough, (I haven’t been there for some years so I am not sure how it is now ). There used to be a large Muslim population there.
I don’t understand why someone whose job it is to represent the people in her borough, can stick to this belief when the majority of Muslim voters would be strongly against women and girls having to use mixed sex loos etc ?
I think she is a traitor to her sex. All this doubling down on Twitter but also the excuses of a “wriggly baby” stuff when it suits her to seem ditsy.

Stella Creasy is such a disappointment. I used to like her and rate her as a sound local MP.

I think when well-educated MPs repeatedly tell you that they think TWAW and other people are 'bigoted' and 'transphobic' for not agreeing that we would be wise to take them at their word and limit their access to power as far as we are able by voting for candidates who do not espouse this 'flat-earther' belief.

I don't think for one minute Stella & co believe that Eddie Izzard is a woman.
But for her - I'm sure she won't end up in a ward with a TW, and I expect that her DD will go to a girls grammar school, or a private school. So the bottom line is - this will never effect her .

I honestly dont know what they think they are playing at. Thy would be better placed wearing tin foil hats and saying the earth was flat than the nonsense they currently espouse.

For some people it is about power and they are more interested wielding power within a political party than they are in governing a country.

It probably is less onerous to be in opposition, so one gets to be in the public eye and make a lot of pronouncements without having to actually do all that much in the way of making decisions/taking action. Some of the glory with less of the pressure?

So if your focus is leading the Labour party, rather than being in government, a lot of the things Labour MPs have said make more sense.

They're not trying to win over the electorate; they're playing elaborate games of internal party politics.

They really do think the north London dinner party circuit will be enough, added to those people they think have nowhere else to go. Seriously, it's just a sixth form debating chamber where the name of the game is virtuous point scoring. Twats.

I agree and it is a really strange strategy post-Blair.
I resigned when Corbyn was elected in 2017 (a Labour MP has never won in my current area: even in the Blair years it was LibDem) as I stayed put in the Labour Party through the late 1980s helping make Labour electable again...it took a long time 1979 to 1997.
They have learned nothing, I do not want to sit through that again. Worse they have managed to add antisemitism to the mix and now an all out assault on women's sex-based rights (and Oxbridge educated female MPs are supporting this stance). They have significant support in ethnic minority communities especially in large cities and yet they ignore the religious requirements of women in those communities to single sex facilities.
Whose vote do they want? I am done with Labour/LibDem/etc

I think she's good at what she does. It's worked for her so far.

I hate reading newspapers online for this reason!

Her Tweets to Jon Pike are startling to say the least. Claiming he's threatened to report her to her 'boss'/take legal action when his email shows he specifically said I won't sue you or report you to Keir Starmer. WTF? She's coming across as a real player - but an incompetent one.

It's a trap!!!

Are there any comments on the Mirror article? I've had a look but the site's so broken with ads, thumbnails and banners that I can't tell.

Well, I have a bit of a cold so I can do the Darth Vader parts if that helps.

I shall certainly be humming to myself as I compose in future. I'm doing it now.

Try writing posts in yellow and sort of narrower at the top like it's zooming away into the distance, Necessary.

Sounds like the beginning of the next Star Wars film.

😂 Maybe that is the writing style I've been unconsciously imitating this entire time. I fear you may have got me.
