She's pulled out of local hustings because it's not safe for her to attend.

But Don't worry.

Keir Starmer will be along to offer his support to Rosie and condemn these attacks on democracy soon...

I assume Cashman is a life peer? What power - if any - does the Labour Party have to discipline him now?

(Yes I know I could Google but I doubt I'd get a straightforward answer.)

He can and should withdraw the whip.

Rosie Duffield is trending on twitter if anyone wants to like any of them.

Keir Starmer needs to act quickly, his credibility is disappearing at a rate of knots.

Excellent responses to him. Long overdue for him to be challenged by the labour party - the misogyny drips out of him.

He really is a thoroughly unpleasant man

Cash man has just deleted the post, and posted an apology so it looks like someone's had a word with him.

Cashman is a disgrace. That pathetic apology he wrote showed he was only sorry for the damage his posts would do to the Labour Party not for the harm to Rosie Duffield. His comments about child Safeguarding are disgusting and very worrying.

Cashman needs to be held account for his comments about Rosie. Accusing a woman fearful for her safety after receiving death threats of being lazy or ‘frit’ is laying his misogyny to bare. He’s supposed to be a peer FFS.

Agreed but as usual - nothing will happen.

nauticant · 16/06/2024 09:25

While an earlier tweet, replying to the reliably toxic mimmymum and joinnig in the abuse remains up:

There was also an earlier attempt at damage limitation:

FrancescaContini · 16/06/2024 09:20

I’m actually really shocked at what Cashman has said. Discussing safeguarding children is “right wing” 🤷‍♀️ and dismissing so callously Rosie’s fears for her own safety: he doesn’t give a damn about women and children.

He doesn’t actually need to use words because the string of flags beside his name tells he’s more interested in signalling his identity than playing a useful role in politics.

I can’t see Cashman’s tweet, has he deleted it?

JKRismyPatronus · 16/06/2024 09:15

I am so fed up, I am politically homeless.

I have emailed my local Labour candidate about their pledge to half VAWG. How can they, when they are unwilling to protect their own female MPs?

Are you reading this, Starmer? Are any of your advisers reading these pages?

You might think that by not commenting on these issues, they’ll go away and no one will notice. You might think these are ‘culture wars’ that are not worth your time. But by failing to stand up for Rosie Duffield, failing to condemn the threats of violence, failing to protect the women in your party, failing to publicly acknowledge the Cass report, do you know what’s happening?

You are losing votes. You lost mine.

Cashman - the Labour peer who sees safeguarding children as right wing and to be opposed. Tells us everything we need to know about what type of man he is:

"The right wing in the House of Lords has organised a debate for the 7th of December on safeguarding in schools! We must push back against these people".

SageHoney · 16/06/2024 01:28

Absolutely Fucking No, Bro.

Labour has vetting, like every party has vetting. Duffield passed the party vetting in order to stand again. Starmer can't protect someone standing for a seat for his party from threats of violence and (frankly, given a read of the public discourse against her) a culture that expresses itself in a fully and full-throated misogynist and pro-rape culture voice.

Go ahead and don't vote for Duffield if you dislike her. Go ahead and try to persuade others to your view. But if you're going to be a misogynist rape apologist, please don't do it here. And if you do do it here, please know that feminists will oppose you.

Weasel words from Rayner. Just not good enough.

https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/angela-rayner-condemns-intimidation-rosie-duffield-labour/

It's not the support isn't enough it's that it isn't coming from KS, the actual leader of the party. He is terrible at sticking his neck out and I can't decide if it's because he's a coward or that he just doesn't care.
See also Cass, which he still hasn't made any comment on.

BloodyHellKenAgain · 15/06/2024 22:51

Runor · 14/06/2024 20:00

Does Starmer has any interest in women’s rights? Now’s his chance to step up…

This is what really annoys me about KS. It would be so easy to make a supporting statement about the treatment of Rosie but he doesn't which leads me to assume he agrees with the threats. Hence I won't be voting for him.
