Cathy Newman re Rachel Reeves on refuges on Channel 4 News tonight

[Popuptent]

Shadow chancellor RachelReevesMP tells me on Channel4News Brexit is partly to blame for fuel crisis but vows no UKLabour govt would reverse it. She also says someone born male who identifies as a woman would not get access to a women’s refuge under Labour policy. Watch at 7.

Good

Although now this

Labour conference: Emily Thornberry backs Sir Keir Starmer over trans row www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-58708728

I wish Labour could get their act together

RR seems to be confused about what she stands for.

The linked tweet seems to have disappeared? Which ferret has reversed?

The deletion may be due to the negative comments that were appearing.

There's a clip up now:

I'm surprised to see Cathy Newman doing a bit of pushback (could have been performative? I guess context will make a big difference) I remember how appallingly biased she was in that Channel 4 genderquake (?) special a few years ago with Munroe Bergdorf and Germaine Greer. I'll be interested to see how this interview plays out.

The comments are getting heated.

See this comment on that feed

Goodness does that mean Rachel Reeves is one of those dinosaurs that Lammy was talking about?

So much talk about 'people' in this clip. What people? Who are they? What is their sex? Why do they have those rights in the first place?

Just a big amorphous blob of people who want things for reasons but we're not sure why because they're just people.

I don't know who Katy Montgomerie is but they are either deluded or are lying.

Montgomerie said:

"The EA2010 protects trans women to use women's spaces. It's been in place for over a decade. It was tested and upheld in court this year."

Aside from being so ungrammatical as to be unintelligible, the statement is also wrong.

Everything Montgomerie says shows them up to be a men's rights activist.

How can he not see it? How can he not see it? I don't get it. How can you talk about black men and then not understand why women reject this horrible colonisation???

On now.

Harrumph. Not a word.

Did they can it?

Yep. Montgomerie sounds an unpleasant piece of work, indeed.

No mention, assume it was cut.

That's a reasonable summing up, RightsHoardingDinosaur

Montgomerie?

Who mocked the toilet habits of females earlier this year? And the toilet sounds that females make?

That Montgomerie? That has positioned themselves as a trans ‘influencer’?

Loads of men I have never met have made sure I got a really good view of their dicks and that's an experience shared by many many- probably most - women so I am not sure this post does anything but show how not-a-woman its author is.
