Personal statement condemning transphobia in response to the number of young members leaving and giving this as their reason.

I really hope one of the other parties recruits her. From a UK-wide perspective, we need that sort of political talent.

She will have to recant her views then. The other parties are Unionist apart from the Greens.

If you haven’t already, NOW is your chance to stand up for women Ms S.

This is a disgrace.

Joanna Cherry has now received a threat. This us terrible.

That is terrible.

It is terrible. Not at all surprising however. The SNP have pretty much declared open season on women.

Well maybe the SNP will go the way of the various parties in Uk who don’t see the women as being part of the constituency. Very disappointed in Blackford and Sturgeon and appalled by the threats to Joanna Cherry. Nothing said on news reports tonight about her standing up for women.

That’s a slighty odd piece - the final couple of paras are quite out of sync with the rest of it.

Thanks, Igneo, for the sharetoken.

It was discussed on PM last night too. Its always described as a row about transgender rights which leads me to startle everyone in the room by shouting WOMEN'S RIGHTS at the radio.
