There are lots of clips doing the rounds of Angela Rayner addresing a room full men, presmably muslim men, on the subject of Gaza. There are no women. Is this ok? Did she speak to the women as well (as they presumaly have the vote too) or just the men? And if not are the women being disadvantaged because of their sex and why is that ok with Labour? Women should not have to vote the way their male relatives do or based on information filtered info from those relatives. Even if she did meet with the women as well why is the sex segregation ok with her?

Have you got any more details, like where she was? If it was in a mosque they often have separate men and women's areas (both areas can hear whats happening) so it could be that.

I expect she felt speaking with Muslim communities in a way that was comfortable to them was more important than demanding they met her requirements

The Telegraph says that it is in her constituency. Guido says it is " from inside a meeting between Angela Rayner and Muslim voters in Ashton-under-Lyne, held along with the recently ennobled Labour peer and former mayor, Lord Khan of Burnley".

You can view the recording on the both of the above

and no doubt elsewhere too.

There is a woman in the room though as she is white and no wearing a headscarf I was assuming, perhaps wrongly that she was part of Rayner's local party attending with her. The presence of this woman and Rayner herslf suggests that it is not a Mosque just that women are not attending and that this is a meeting segregated by the local community.

Watch: Labour’s Angela Rayner bids to win back Muslim voters with Gaza promises

In video circulating on social media, deputy Labour leader says she would resign as MP if it could bring about ceasefire

Angela should be concentrating on the issues in the UK.
I heard a rumour we go to the polls on 4th July, or was I dreaming 🤔
Oh and it's no secret that Sir Steer Karmer is going after the Muslim vote 😉

I'm at least as bothered about her apparently going much further than LP policy in regard to recognising Palestine, but then she's scared of how many votes the Worker's Party might take.

That's Angela TWAW Rayner. I guess some single-sex spaces are fine with her
