Webchat with Sarah Champion?

3 replies

Sarah Champion has been tweeting about Mumsnet today (alas inaccurately - she tweeted a post on MN about "section 28" that was both satirical AND posted by a trans ally, when she assumed the opposite),

Since she seems to have opinions about Mumsnet, and is airing them in public, might she be a good candidate to invite for a webchat, so she can meet us directly herself?

I think it would be robust, but I also think it would be useful, and in the spirit of fostering a proper debate.

In the interests of keeping it civil, and not allowing it to be derailed by trolls and false-flaggers, I also think only posters who are already registered as of yesterday should be allowed to post on that thread.

What do you think, MNHQ?

We can but try, ArcheryAnnie. Let's see if any fellow MNers agree that it's a good idea (why wouldn't they?) and we meanwhile will pass it on to the relevant bods here.

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for letting us know who's in favour - keep it coming and we'll make sure the big cheeses know there's support for this one.

Hi folks.

Thanks for your responses to this thread - and your patience while we looked into it.

We've had a chat about it in the office. In theory, it's a Q&A we'd be happy to run but we have approached several politicians in recent weeks and months about doing this and we're just not having any luck getting anyone to bite.

We're sadly coming to the conclusion that it's just not something politicians want to talk about at the moment. Transgender discussions have obviously been a bit of a political hot potato recently, so we're thinking perhaps let the dust settle slightly and then maybe some of them will be keener to have a chat about it.

Sorry not to be the bearer of more upbeat news but hope this makes sense.
