Starmer is spineless and doesn’t know what a woman is. I don’t like BJ and friends either. No idea who I will vote for.
That's the curious thing. I am absolutely 100% convinced he does. I have found newspaper articles he wrote about equality legislation 20 years ago, in which he is quite clear that women are discriminated against on sex.
IIRC, at the time he became leader, he was the only candidate who didn't make an affirmation that TWAW. Labour party MNers backed him for leader on that basis.
I confidently predicted that he was going to keep his head down and avoid making any commitment either way, until media coverage of various court cases made it too toxic for a politician to say TWAW. Once women's rights activists had done the hard graft and spent the money to make it safe for a politician to say woman=adult human female, I said that we'd see him adopting the woman=adult human female stance.
Instead, what seems to have happened is that he doggedly remained on the fence, ignoring all the abuse from the TWAW lobby for being on said fence, while the TWAW lobby were in the ascendancy.
And then he threw in his lot with them, expressing explicit support for self-ID along the way, once it started looking like saying TWAW might be a vote- loser.
I've concluded he really hates the decor in 10 and 11 Downing Street and is desperate to avoid having to move into the Prime Ministerial quarters. It's the only explanation. Well done to Carrie Johnson for using tactical wallpapering to ensure her husband's job security!
