Jess Phillips

[uneffingbelievable]

What a brave lady.

Whilst I am not an ardent Labour supporter, I completely support you and how you have stood up to the bullying, racism, violence and hatred sent your way.

Sad that your family could not be there to see your victory but under the circumstances you made the right choice.

That this country is allowing this type of intimidation and behaviour - we should be ashamed of ourselves.

Don’t you realise that Jess Philips, of all people, is very very aware about of MVAWG and has done more to highlight it than any other mp. Yes, there is much to disagree with her on, but she is NOT the enemy of women’s safe spaces. I’m stunned you have assumed to give her lectures on MVAWG or victim blame her with a “but” (there’s always a but at the start of a victim blame)

Yes she tows the labour line on trans - but she is not the perpetrator or cause of trans right demanding access to women’s spaces. She compromises like many MPs need to to fit their own ideals to a policitcsl party home. If all MPs insisted on joint parties with which they could only agree 100% with everything they said, we’d have 500 plus political parties. or 3 with no policies other than do nothing. Life is about compromises, and Jess, with all her faults imho, cannot be faulted for the positive and persistent stance she has taken on many women’s causes to our benefit.

she is also not a supporter of labour parties stance on gaza- she got a child out for medical help which is more than most mp. She lost her position on front bench by her stance fgs.

she was being abused and she was clearly frightened, angry. She’s clearly had to absorb the stress and fear of other women who were working with her as they too were targeted. David challen, who has much to thank Jess for and vice versa, is right to highlight it. It was a shameful spectacle of bullying, trying to shut a women up

all those saying she was upset for nearly loosing a seat. She didn’t . She won. Same as Wes streaming- they weren’t shouting threats and abusing him during his campaign were they? No one is calling it out the predominantly Muslim men putting the uppity women in her place…if we don’t stand up to that as pure misogyny hate crime (which funnily enough labour will look at ) and use “ah but” victim blaming, you are excusing this behaviour

The irony of this whole thing is WTF is there a 'Friends of Israel' sideline anyway?
US politicians are compromised by AIPAC, UK politicians have to lick Israel's genocidal ar**. Why?
US citizens fully funding Israeli healthcare and education meanwhile having crap healthcare themselves. No sorry this bs needs to end.

Don't believe what?

While we are talking about misinformation..https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2014/mar/02/how-paedophiles-infiltrated-the-left-harriet-harman-patricia-hewitt

Jess did that to save her seat which only just worked. There's no pandering to these zealots.

Bloody hell. I’d missed this drama so took that poster at their word.

This masked men abusing women is becoming a regular occurrence, happened last weekend in Brighton as well.

Ummm…she gave up a shadow cabinet position and defied the whip to vote in favour actually.

If Jess was targeted due to being female (this would suggests she is) then Labour should have done more to stick up for her and not allow mob rule.

There you go.

Wow, she can see through time!

Israel are our allies is what it comes down to. They also throw a lot of money at our MPs which does compromise them.

She just is. She nearly made me not vote Labour.

This isn’t a man vs women thing - this was about Gaza. I don’t know why anyone thought we needed it in a British GE, but there you go. 🙄

What an intelligent argument.

That looks terrifying!

It needs to be stamped out immediately by the police, and arrests made. This is not okay.

Sorry but don't use 'we' as there is nothing civilised in backing the terrorist genocidal state of Israel and Israel has been actively terrorising since 1948. Israel is an occupying force.
Civilised people call for a ceasefire. Now. Genocide supporters are not civilised.
'We' as a nation call for a ceasefire as 'we' are civilised. The stats back this.
Don't discuss the killing of over 50,000 people by Israel, 70% of whom are children and women in trivial terms either. We all know this is a genocide. We all know the Israeli army are terrorists. The elephant in the room can no longer be ignored.
Disgusting.
Listen to the testimonials of Israeli army soldiers who have defected, a movement known as 'breaking the silence' to fully understand the terrorism purpotrated by the Israeli army in Gaza and the West Bank for decades.

There was always going to be an election in 2024. If Jess didn't resign she presumably loses her seat - she still nearly lost it.

Even Wes Streeting only just scraped his over the same issue and he's the new Health Sec. Ashworth lost his seat as well. All broadly popular with their constituents but the Gaza thing massively interfered.

In case anyone still hasn’t go it

That makes my blood run cold. What awful, awful men.

Up with all the brave, gobby, funny, women.

How kind. Thanks

How is Angela fabulous?

Sunak had until January 2025 to call an election. Most people were looking at the late autumn.
