Jeremy Corbyn - webchat to discuss self-identification of sex

[Popchyk]

On the Andrew Marr Show today, Jeremy Corbyn indicated that the Labour Party is in favour of a policy of people being able to self-identify as the opposite sex.

Could we get Jeremy Corbyn on Mumsnet to do a webchat in order to discuss the implications around this?

If he is unavailable, could we have another senior Labour figure?

Thank you

'Cause since I've come to Mumsnet
Well my mind has been a mess
And I've missed your silver hair
And your lefty style of dress
Won't you come on over
Stop making a fool out of me
Why don't you come on over, Jeremy?

Jeremy

Hipster! Noooo, that ear worm is too good... Jeeeerrre- meeeeyyyyeee, Je-rem-eeeee

It works to the time of Pinball Wizard aswell...!!

I think the Labour party are hoping our lil lady brains will simply forget about this request...

Bump...

Any news?

I don't think Jeremy will come on because he might actually have to say what he thinks. He doesn't really do that so he can fool people he's speaking for them (ironically). Look at the way he is about Brexit! Etc. Etc.

Or because there isn’t a Dewey eyed fan club hanging on his every word and cheering every statement. Or chanting.

When it comes to preaching to the in converted he does seem to get rude, stroppy and snippy.

Absolutely. Not a brainwashed cult.

Just to say we haven't forgotten about this, and are waiting for an update from our Press team.

Thanks Rivka.

Thanks OP for suggesting this and Lorna for responding. This definitely needs to be discussed.

Thanks!

Any news, MNHQ?

No Je-re-my Corrr-byn! No Je-re-my Corrr-byn!
I think he is running scared of MN.

We should doorstep him. If the mountain won't come to Mohammed then Mohammed (or Mumsnet in this case) must go to him.

Turn up at his front door first thing in the morning with a tin of shortbread.

Maybe chain ourselves to his railings if need be.

Might wait until Spring though, can't be doing with a sub-zero protest at my age.

Who's up for it?

I can belt out a chorus of "Red Flag" in case he's forgotten the words.

I taught ds the proper words when he was little in protest to them being taught bloody ‘oh Christmas tree’ in school.

Also, I really hope that the Daily Mail DO steal this thread!

Hello all,

We've not forgotten you! Press have been in touch with his office - we can't promise anything, but we're chasing up and will let you know when we have more info.

Just tell them we are all shouty, angry men in dresses. Lure them in with a bit of shiny bandwagon.

Thank you Sophie.

Following for updates. Thanks op and mnhq

Thanks Sophie.

Yes please!
Thanks MN.
