Labour won't back Tory pledge to protect single-sex spaces

👏

Thanks @Scavernick

I thought the same. It’s ridiculous

It’s not as if women and children aren’t impacted by gender ideology. And here we are with those posts.

Depressing

Kier Starmer's job hs been to get Labour elected - and to do that he has shifted position in every conceiveable way so as to appeal to reluctant voters. Except on Trans ideology - very bizarrely. This will come back to haunt him, though. There is no doubt about this

Wise words.

This shit really needs to stop. People might disagree with you - stop behaving like a bloody two year old when they do FFS. Grow up.

Exactly. I’m a disabled, gender critical woman with an 18 year old daughter. I can’t vote conservative, it’d be shooting myself in the foot (not that I’d feel it, neuropathy 😂) but I can’t vote labour either.

in our constituency I need to vote labour (tactically) to remove bloody Liam Fox but voting labour is literally grating on me…..

So because we are fuming at Labour for continuing to dismiss our very real concerns we are somehow supporting Nigel effing Farage. All the polls show that Labour will be in power in a month’s time, it’s just a question of how many seats they’ll win. That’s why women are desperate for them to show that they’ve changed on this issue.

I think people are going to be sorely disappointed in a new Labour government.

It's pretty clear that there's going to be precious little money for services and it'll take years to undo Tory austerity. Plus voter-acceptable Labour aren't actually very left.

Gender woo is the one cheap sop that they can throw to the left to try to distract from some tough times to come.

It's still going to be shit to be old, disabled, sick but hopefully maintaining the level of shitness and not getting worse.

It'll be a bit more shit for women, but we don't count so shrug.

14 years is a long time in government for a party of any political persuasion.

Though it is highly unlikely that Labour is going to provide the much longed for relief that many are desperately hoping for. Labour have signed up to all the current spending commitments, and have back-tracked on virtually all of the manifesto pledges they once stood for. The Left despises Starmer and has long seen him as a right wing 'Blairite'. Many of those people will not be voting Labour this time ( either the Greens, Reform, or else parties that are far more Left wing) - although it will not prevent them from securing a majority - as most people are seeking refreshment, and a change.

Public spending per head in Wales is £13,967 (11% above the UK average) - figure from the Treasury's analysis for 2023.

And has been said, the Labour government in Cardiff is solely responsible for policy, administration and funding in health and education.

Ok pal

You are obsessed, it’s clear.

Whatever. Gender ideology suits you

Have you heard of cuts to benefits ? It’s becoming increasingly difficult to get pip. Have you seen the state of maternity services ? Women killed by men because of not enough policemen. Surestarts shut as well as libraries. I’d agree with you if everything was fecking hunky dory but it isn’t.

indeed things are not hunky dory

the civil service, local authorities and the NHS are stonewalled to the eyeballs and also struggling with budgets and yet tellingly they are far more likely to focus their limited budgets & time running around placating TRA rather than focusing on helping women

Women don’t count

@EasternStandard in your dreams pal. But your unsuccessful attempts at trolling for the Tory party are pitiful 😂

@Abeona what’s your opinion on 50 odd years of Tory hedgemony ? You do know that Wales gets its funding from London yes ?

Hear hear!

Whatever

You obviously follow my posts closely but your stalking is amiss

Try harder

Laughing emoji back at you

@EasternStandard what’s your opinion on the Tories economic record ? Not expecting any kind of interesting comment just bland platitudes . I actually doubt you even live here such is your apparent disinterest in any other UK political issue apart from the culture war 😂

@FigRollsAlly bollocks. Most of us that intend to vote Labour are well aware that the Tories could still win especially when there are so many ‘life long’ Labour voters suddenly changing the habit of a lifetime and opting for the Conservatives because of gender ideology (which incidentally isn’t in the top ten of issues for most pragmatic voters). And obviously you’ve got the shy tories too. Wouldn’t be surprised if Farridge did a deal with them so pat yourselves on the back for supporting that moron, such is the total lack of integrity on the part of the tories.

You prefer Labour on this then

Have you noticed their gender proposals?

How can Labour think there are enough safeguards when Adams vs ERCC has just happened - a MAN was running a rape crisis centre and providing counselling

Because they don’t give a damn about women. Badinoch on Today was so obviously just out to gather whatever votes they can. Absolutely cynical move.

They cannot be trusted to follow through on this. They have had years to sort this out…and have failed on this and education NHS, economy.
I hope no one falls for this blatant move.

Arrogant tossers. So careful when interviewed to say they’re not taking a win for granted but this tells you that they are doing exactly that. They’ve decided they don’t need our votes because they feel safe in carrying on as before.

Ugh. What was he doing just hanging about? As if he was long enough there to wait for someone to make a phone call he can’t have just been using the loo!
