I'm a member of the Labour Party and this has been my biggest concern when deciding who to vote for in the deputy leadership contest. I did as much digging as I could and eventually voted for Bridget P. I would have naturally supported Lucy P but she's a full on TWAW wally. I've done my bit

Oh FFS Bridget.

Wake up and lead on this. It's not just women's rights that you need to be brave enough for, it's safeguarding in schools.

Step forward and differentiate yourself. There's a groundswell of public opinion that suggests it's safe enough to do so now. If you're still too scared of your own shadow, you're not the right woman for the job**

** I'm not suggesting Lucy Powell is either.

Labour cannot be trusted with women’s rights. They’re still resisting what was settled law in April. Disgraceful misogynists

Absolutely. Just proving yet again that the Left has a massive women problem.

This has been posted on the existing thread about why hasn't the Guidance been ratified by Parliament.

I believe Lucy Powell is miles ahead

but for fucks fucking sake

yeah no rush labour, just continue to allow every org/public body/company to fuck about wringing their hands about guidance instead of setting them straight that the law is the law and the guidance won't change that. Only women after all, it's not as if we matter

Labour still don’t understand that WOMEN = 50% of the voting public compared to less than 2% of the population who are Trans identifying.

Also that the T does not belong with LGB and many LGB people are trying to distance themselves as fast and far away as possible.

LABOUR - catch UP !!!

Same as Siän Berry, always personal interest first.

I guess the subtext is that Bridget Phillipson has every intention of approving the EHRC guidance. So that's good news even if she's delaying it a bit for Labour infighting reasons.

Insanity. In the article:

One MP said: “I back Bridget, but if this guidance is published before the vote closes there’s no way I can vote for her. I’ve got a big LGBT community in my constituency and I’d never get their vote again.”

But about women’s vote???! Surely he has a ‘big female community’ in his constituency too?? 🙄🙄🙄
