Zoe Williams on Wes Streeting

As expected, Streeting's managed to enrage TRAs but still failed to actually convince he'll protect women's rights.

Zoe Williams is digging herself quite the trench, there.

It's difficult to trust streeting, but now he has come out more firmly on the side of womens rights, and has half apologised, its a position that he can't really row back on, because he has pissed off TRAs so much.

He is an ambitious man, who knows which way public opinion sits. He is speaking about this now because its politically expedient to do so, but he is clearer on this than either starmer and dodds. So it's a start.

How badly written is that tweet?
poor old Zoe.

They've missed a bit. Why?

"“I hope there will be some goodwill coming in from both directions.."

Both directions part is cut from TheTimes.

Sorry did women set up schemes that stole rights from others and gave colleagues licence to call other people bigots? Did we dismantle child safeguarding? Did we endanger vulnerable groups?

What both directions does he mean? I think we should be told.

The Telegraph have also reported on it. The comments below are incandescent:

Wes Streeting: Women concerned about single-sex spaces aren’t bigots

Here's the article Zoe is getting het up about:

He's now going to be our MP (providing he keeps the seat, there has been a huge backlash here against Labour over Palestine) as the constituency boundaries have changed. The area is heavily populated by somewhat traditional Asian families who were hugely up in arms over the new sex education guidelines, so I'd imagine Wes isn't in a hurry to nail his colours to the mast there, no matter what he personally believes.

We are also the area where the "Rainbow Dildo Butt Monkey in the kids' library" took place... 🤦🏻‍♀️

if he thinks it’s going to win him votes I for one am going to applaud it because it will encourage others in positions of power to switch too (I’m looking at you Kier starmer)
The problem with that is the worry they will change their mind back after winning the election. I dont trust him an inch.

I’d say it’s promising to see someone (no matter how self-serving) who obviously thinks they’d better change their stance because otherwise they're going to be on the wrong side of history.

totally get why it’s fucking annoying for those who’ve been fighting in the public eye for ages but that’s the way these things go I’m afraid.

As Alexi Sayle says, he looks like son that Starmer has fashioned out of margarine.
