A survey of 2,146 voters by PeoplePolling found 48 per cent of those who backed Labour in 2019 supported the Tory manifesto pledge to amend the Equality Act to protect single-sex spaces such as lavatories and changing rooms. Just 20 per cent opposed it.

Meanwhile, more Labour voters rejected than supported the party’s manifesto proposal to amend the law to make it easier for people to change sex on birth certificates, with 40 per cent opposing it and 35 per cent in support.

I really keep wondering, what does the LP think it is doing with these policies?

And even though this survey has been publicised in a number of papers Labour will not think it important enough to respond to.

That more than anything is an indication of their true direction.

And why Angela Raynor doesn't think she needs to talk about gender critical groups being "hate" groups.

I'm largely convinced now that KS is a true believer, and any sense that he was on the fence was actually him trying not to be too partisan about it.
