I'm asking Keir a question about women's rights on 5 live - how to phrase it?

[JanefromLondon1]

I want him not to be able to give me the flannel that we have to be kind to the woMen. I want assurances that we do t have to share our spaces. I want to not sound like the very nervous person that am I!

Any help appreciated?

Jane is my hero.

Well done.

❤️

Precis of the above: I'm all right, Jack.

Some days are good days and this is one of them thanks to you. I'm furious too. You are bang on the money there about it being a slur.

More of the 'be kind' nonsense as well on going on. I'm so angry at myself that I was so stupid about being kind, happily now I'm just furious. You should change your name to Furious Jane from London !

Tough really.

You may want to protect Starmer but luckily Jane did better than listen to your wishes

That's a very blinkered attitude. That would be like me saying I don't care about benefits or disability policies because I don't need them. But I do care, because i can see the bigger picture and am not an asshat.

I've listened to the call - Jane your fury was controlled and magnificent.
You spoke for me - thank-you!

How I wish more 'interviewers' would be as direct as you and as unwilling to accept the pre-packaged meaning-free answer.

I want to call my daughters 'Jane'!

Was the Brianna remark when he tried to say that Sunak had made a transphobic remark in the HOC? I am pleased to say he didn’t get that nasty dig in as our Jane closed it down pdq. It is appalling that Starmer can weaponise a child’s murder ,has the man no shame or moral compass?

Jane being tweeted by JKR! it’s like six degrees of separation, but in three, mumsnet, Jane, JKR .

Of course trans people have a right to exist. I'm as GC as they come but I'm not a bigot. I'm a woman who wants to protect women only spaces. I don't want my religious friends to exclude themselves from female spaces because biological males are present. I don't want women who have been traumatised by men to exclude themselves from safe spaces because males are present. I don't want girls in changing rooms with unknown male bodies. Where do we go if we have to exclude ourselves from places where we should feel safe?

Jane, you are now in the DailyTelegraph (digital and behind a paywall).

@Viviennemary - what if you have a daughter who's an athlete? What if you find yourself in prison one day? Will you care then?

@JanefromLondon1 👏👏👏👏👏

The clip has now been retweeted by JKR

Also in the mail (sorry) but it has a good transcript.

Thank you Jane.

Thank you Jane 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

You spoke for me.

What's your opinion on this then? These are women just trying to do their job.

If you’re a woman and don’t think this is an issue for you, you really don’t understand what is at stake.

We will keep banging the drum, because women’s rights are important- for me, as a woman everything follows on from that.

There were once women who really didn’t see the need for women to have the vote. There have always been appeasers of men amongst women,

Jane thank you so much. You spoke for me.

Absolute twaddle is a great phrase!

Or in hospital or in the gym changing room or if you were ever raped and needed counselling, or if your child told you they wanted to mutilate their body or if you missed out on an award/sponsorship/ bursary, or if you wanted to start a women only group or you needed intimate care.
Ok maybe none of these things will ever apply to you either but they might apply to someone you love.
Is it an issue then?
I’m post menopausal but I would defend abortion rights to my dying breath. Because I care about other women and their rights.
Do you?

Loving this.

Needs to be a poster or something

Jane I have just listened to you!!! What a superstar and so eloquent.

Minutes: 48 minutes in.

As the old misquote goes, "If you can keep your head when everybody round you is losing theirs, it is very probable that you don’t understand the situation."

You so held him to account !!!

How very selfish and short sighted of you.

Did I miss a scolder? He's a very busy man is he? Better things to do than to answer questions from the public on the radio? Or just the one who ran rings around him, to the extent that she made a national paper!

Oh dear
How sad
Never mind.
