Keir Starmer wins Labour leadership

Well, it's the least worst option.

Hopefully Long-Bailey and Nandy will bog off to their TRA mates and stay there now. (Although I wonder if they will be dropped like hot stones now their usefulness has expired?)

Be interesting to see how/if/when/why Starmer addresses women's rights in the coming months and years.

I've just read that Starmer has made Naz Shah shadow minister for Community Cohesion. Good luck with convincing people you are going to root out anti semitism and that you are concerned for all women and girls.

i like nazshah - i like that she accepts her mistakes and does something about them which is a rare trait in a politician.

That Independent piece is written by well-known TRA notCursedE. If you look at their outpourings on twitter you'll see all the familiar stuff.

How very desperate of the Independent. And I thought Owl was bad enough. Which whiny Twitter misogynist will they platform next?

Perhaps Starmer would be interested to read some of NotCursedE's tweets. I think he'd be backing away at speed.

Thank you again, Kantastic !

Back to that Independent article (as it were!) - how desperate must the Indi be for copy to publish that jabbering, poisonous BS ?

What's the Byline? "Adrian Mole on crack"??

Bercow has been cropping up all over the place in FWR threads and gets the last word in that piece too. What an oddly pompous way to end "My Letter to LOTO" after all that ranting . . .

"I almost joined Labour this year, I was so close. Moves were being made and it seemed like there were positive steps being taken towards opposing the rotten transphobia within the party. However, I can’t in good conscience do that while the question of my humanity and dignity are still up in the air like this.

Starmer needs to make his position as leader clear. I hope he follows in the words of former speaker John Bercow: “You cannot appease bigots and homophobes. You have to confront them and defeat them”. "
