Transcript of her interrogation disciplinary interview with Labour on above link.

The term Orwellian is way overused, but I think it is actually applicable here.

Particularly noticeable to me was the insistence on not just looking at the the facts, but at what she was thinking. I didn't realise thought crime was a thing outside of dystopian fiction.

I feel sorry for Venice, it came across that Labour was very much part of who she was.

Yeah well done jenniferjames I thought you got through that very well. Was a bit cut off at the end? I didn't get what the next steps are. When will you find out their decision?

Waddlelikeapenguin · 09/03/2018 17:40

Bloody hell, it's so much worse than i imagined. Well done both Flowers

First they came for the gender critical....

Having read and listened to both, well done both Jennifer and Venice for putting up with this Orwellian experience.

It's fascinating that these two women are accused of bringing the party into disrepute while colleagues in the Commons and House of Lords can invite Monro Bergdorf (the Toby Young of the trans world) and "Karen Jones" ( sexual predator who is on the sex offender's register for life) to advise the party and no one blinks or raises a protest (except feminists who have a particular dislike of racists and sex offenders).

The double standards are breathtaking and very serious. Why do Labour exhibit such a lack of judgement about their selection of role models? While it is evident that they are only interested in the views of "women with a penis" these days, surely they must be able to find some non racists and people not on the sex offenders register to advise them?

Haha!

So who the fuck does their PR?

I can totally understand that a larger-than-life, charismatic character can help.

But surely they don't have to have shit for brains and their repugnant viewpoints plastered all over social media?

First they came for the gender critical.... exactly @Waddlelikeapenguin !

My god that was one of the most ridiculous things I’ve listened to. I’m not as intelligent as most of the people on this thread but even I can see how incredibly biased that interview was and full of verbal tripwires. I honestly would have gone to that meeting with a resignation speech that she could have furiously scribbled down. Jennifervits clear you really do love the Labour Party and I commend you for bothering to answer any of those questions with the care and consideration that you did.

*Jennifer

Sleepfree. Do not talk yourself down please - the fact you have your eyes open and question what you're told is what is required.

Listened to your recording @jenniferjames. That was a fine performance showing a good grasp of the fact/arguments. A nice firm tone throughout sprinkled with justifiable bafflement. Good thinking on your feet skills too.

Trumpdump · 10/03/2018 10:15

I know Venice has resigned, but is she going to complain/ sue?

Elendon · 10/03/2018 15:01

How much did this cost to do this Jennifer? Same question to Venice. I am presuming that those interviewing you are doing it on a voluntary basis and are not being paid apart from expenses. There are many CLPs who need money to put up credible candidates for election, whether local, council or general election.

TheGoalIsToStayOutOfTheHole · 11/03/2018 15:36

This is absolutely ridiculous. Whoever was conducting that interview is pathetic tbh

If we are to be censored everytime something might offend someone, noone can speak ever, as someone somewhere finds everything offensive surely. I mean, I could say I hate chips, and someone who loves chips could be offended by that?!

The asking about her mothers views on transgenderism is just bizarre.

The Eddie Izzard stuff too. A guy who has made his career from being a transvestite, suddenly decides he is a woman and should be on AWS, and everythings fine and dandy and anyone who disagrees/does not know...is evil? Fuck off.

JenniferJames · 11/03/2018 15:43

How much did this cost to do this Jennifer?

There are no figures on how much the party spends on the compliance unit... the treasurer was asked this at conference last yr. We were told the data pertaining to this is not collected.

Thanks so much for the support. And no one is any less worthy than anyone else... we are a team of equals!

TheGoalIsToStayOutOfTheHole · 11/03/2018 17:29

Jennifers interview, saw it on her twitter as link here did not work.

Do you think this tweet is damaging to the Labour party?
No, forcing the Leader to go to court and disenfranchising new members was damaging to the Labour Party
