JKR calls Labour's Bluff - Offering Meeting leadership only on her terms

JKR is playing at a different level. After Starmer and Reeves offered to meet with her she gave them her conditions.

I'll be happy to meet after NoXYinXXprisons, Lesbian Labour, Womens Rights Network, WomansPlaceUK and Alliance LGB have been given in person meetings with the Labour leadership. I'd also like to know whether Angela Rayner still considers the last two organisations hate groups.

They are trapped either they now have to meet with gay and women's groups and listen to them something they are desperate not to do. It is not impossible then that Reeves at least can be made to see some sense. Even talking with these groups and JKR will also make TRAs go ballistic and many will leave the party. Chances are that Labour will promise a bunch of stuff to JKR which If Labour still follow gender nonsense after that they can be fully held to account for. If they promise single sex spaces are safe then every time that is breached Labour's credibility will be on the line

Or if they refuse to meet with the groups they prove EVERYTHING JKR said in her essay was right.

The media are now hyping the meeting further locking Labour in

Brilliant ! But isn't it shameful that JKR has to remind Starmer that they should be meeting with labour women. The ABC of politics.
Numpties.

If they learn nothing else, they’ll have learnt not to piss off JKR.

JKR now wants Rosie and Labour Women's Declaration in the room too.

Labour Women Declaration should definitely be in the room. It'd be nice to see you in there, too, Rosie, but I won't hold my breath.

Would also be nice if @LabWomenDec (representing thousands of Labour members) were given a proper meeting, and their stalls were finally allowed at Labour Conferences after being blocked for several years
