Labour canvasser today

So a secret ballot of Tory MPs elected a dodgy as fuck Trans Woke Bro onto Women's and Equalities. What does that tell you about the Tories?

Yes that's right. @TooBigForMyBoots I had forgotten about the Sugar Daddy website stuff as well. Again not what I expect in an MP. The only very weak defence to the lack of due diligence from the Welsh Tories in choosing him as their candidate is that they didn't expect him to win in a month of Sundays lol.

JW has no influence in government. He sits on the Women and Equalities Select Committee. He was elected to a seat on this committee by secret ballot of Conservative MPs. Members of Select Committees are fiercely independent of Government since their role is to hold the relevant department to account.

SirSamVimesCityWatch I did exactly the same. Woman knocked on the door, and I said I was unable to vote for the Labour Party due to their stance on women. She just nodded and walked off. I too would have liked a longer discussion but my heart was racing, it was the first time I'd said anything like that to anyone outside of my family. But it clearly is coming up on the doorstep for them!

Don't vote Labour because you can bet your bottom dollar that Corbyn will miraculously reappear larger than life all is forgiven and shunting out a Labour PM in a orchestrated party coup! Do we need 4 more years of the dreadful Tories? No, don't spoil your ballot paper make it count, if the Liberals are running in your area (aka not the LibDems) then vote for them or any minority paper apart from the Greens, Make your vote count with a protest vote, it does work and it is the only way to achieve change and a better future, this countries future is not two-party politics!

Jamie is textbook TRA. Not only did he plead Trans, his background is dodgy software. The Sugar Daddy website. A service that could clear paedophile records from the Internet and multiple investigations from Trading Standards.

But apparently Jamie's influence in government is irrelevant because he's a Tory.

Jamie Wallis perhaps took his cue from Family Guy.

So, Tory PM Theresa May doesn't matter because she stopped being PM to be followed by Tory PM Boris Johnson. And Tory PM Boris Johnson doesn't matter because he stopped being PM last year. And what Tory PM Sunak said before he was PM doesn't matter because???

After becoming PM, Sunak appointed Gillian I don't know what a girl is Keegan to head of Education. Jamie I know what a woman is cos I'm going to be one. Hey kids, trans early Wallis was appointed to Women's and Equalities.

Can you see what it is yet?

The current political landscape is so thoroughly depressing. I went to see my MP back in 2018 about the issues with the self-ID proposals his party was proposing to introduce (had thread on here at the time under different name). He agreed with my concerns and promised to put me in touch with the party lead on equalities to discuss further. Never heard anything further.

Every election since then, I've emailed all candidates standing in my constituency asking for them to explain how they'll guarantee sex-based rights for women including protecting single sex spaces. Never had a reply from any of them.

As a result, I've spoilt my ballot ever since whilst making it clear why I'm not voting for any of the candidates. I'll be doing the same next election unless any of the candidates come back to me explaining how they will indeed protect my rights.

I would have expected the local party to de-select him but maybe they feel they can't. Hadn't he also lied about some of his educational qualifications? Fleeing the scene of a crash is not the behaviour we want in our elected representatives regardless of what they are wearing at the time 🙄.

Jamie Wallis will be gone in 2024. Bridgend isn't the kind of place where his behaviour is appreciated.

That was when he wasn’t PM
the debate has changed and he isn’t afraid to say what a woman is

It’s obvious Labour are worse on this issue.

Which is why those pp who are anti Tory as anything still won’t vote for them.

PM Sunak will say whatever. He blows with the wind on this.

Okay then if you insist, maybe Alba too but I don't support Scottish Independence.
What I think voters deserve is, at least one mainstream UK political party capable of forming a Government, which respects biological reality and hence child safeguarding and mens and women's EXISTING sex-based rights.

Jamie Wallis is already influencing policy. PM Sunak put Jamie into the Women's and Equalities so he could influence policy.

that was two years ago there’s a different PM in charge who is happy to say a woman is an adult human female.

Is it true to say that only women have a cervix?

Here's PM Johnson's reply.

I know what my Tory MPs take on it is, fortunately I won’t be voting for him as he is standing down in the next election, I’m optimistic that his successor will be supportive of women’s rights and I will be voting.

Yes the system we have won’t work much longer.

There’s a lot of people invested in keeping as it is, I was listening to a couple earlier. Climate on the oth doesn’t stop for that.

It’ll be a tussle but it will change.

I think it's two: SDP and the Communist Party.

Sounds about right. I'm afraid this is par for the course in politics, public life generally.

How much light as opposed to heat have we had on Brexit? Racialised politics? The environment?

I can't think of many politicians or public figures who are really across their briefs on multiple fronts.

And in the No Debate mantra on trans activism, there's almost no need to inform yourself. The party tells you that any dissent is transphobia, that's all you have to parrot to your activists and colleagues.

Except this doesn't work with the public. And deffo not the majority who are at the very least, moderately GC.

I have asked which is why I know that my current MP is TWAW and one of his potential successors is GC

Were the more "reed in the wind" candidates male or female, or a mix?

Almost exactly half and half.

How did they react to you pushing your line? No debate, exasperation, indignation, felt you were a phobe and the "wrong sort"?

I didn't pick up any "you're a transphobe" vibes from any of them. Some of them sounded vaguely exasperated that I was asking them to talk about something a) they didn't think was important, and b) they knew they didn't know about. One asked for feedback, and asked me what would have been a better answer (which I got the impression he would use with anyone else who asked a similar question, anything to get votes). No-one went in hard with TWAW-there-is-no-debate, although with the ones who went straight into telling me that trans people are the most oppressed ever I didn't bother pressing them - I knew they'd lost my vote in a single sentence.

How did you feel about them? Why do you think they've ended up this way? The party machine, trans prevalence in their politics and social circle? Full on indoctrinated?

I think 'no-debate' has a lot to do with it. This issue does take some serious thinking about, and talking about in order to land somewhere sensible. Most Labour candidates have had no chance to talk through the complexities, and so they don't realise that there's a conflict of rights which Labour has no way of addressing at the moment. They simply hear the rhetoric, they hear that only nasty Tories could possibly think trans women are men, and in a cost of living crisis they decide to focus on something else less fraught and (apparently) more urgent.

This yes agreed and the rest of the TWAW lot too. We have to have at least one political party in the UK where it is considered the norm to accept the constraints of biological reality.
