This is being discussed in parliament tomorrow. If you’re interested in women’s and children’s safety and protection (aren’t we all), it’s worth asking your MP to support the bill.

I just received a reply to my email on this topic, from my female Tory MP, apologising for being unable to attend for this session. However she agreed with all my arguments and supports single sex spaces etc.
I’ve never voted Tory in my life, but having been a feminist since the seventies, I feel completely conflicted. I suspect I’ll end up spoiling my ballot paper. I guess I’m not alone in feeling like this?

Well it wouldn’t have mattered if she had been there. Labour filibustered so there was no time to discuss this bill. Disgusting behaviour from Labour on this subject, always. Lots of women (including myself) feel like you do about Labour now. Loads of threads about it on here.

I definitely won’t vote Labour. I don’t know who I will vote for though.
