C4News 7pm - deleted tweet RR "also says someone born male who identifies as a woman would not get access to a women’s refuge under Labour policy"

[GreenUp]

Did anyone see this on twitter? Cathy Newman earlier tweeted that in the 7pm C4 News tonight, Rachel Reeves says someone born male who identifies as a woman would not get access to a women’s refuge under Labour policy. Watch at 7.

I assume Reeves was just reiterating Labour's commitment to sex exemptions in the Equality Act.

The tweet got a load of pushback from TRAs and is now deleted though I can still see it in twitter app (cached I suppose). The text of the tweet was as follows:

Cathy Newman: 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.

Wonder if they will show that part of the interview or will cut it and who decided to delete the tweet (Labour, C4News or Cathy?).

I've just watched the clip on Twitter twitter.com/Channel4News/status/1442527461665873920
Interesting points but a lot of stumbling over the words.

Yas Cathy Newman!

Does anyone else sense that Labour are getting held to account on this pish far more than the Tories ever were?

Labour are digging their own grave, the journos are just handing them the spade.

Reeves says it's a false dichotomy that rights conflict.

But Lammy calls women Rights-Hoarding Dinosaurs.

RR says Labour won't change the Equality Act exceptions on sex?

But if they swap out Gender Reassignment for 'Gender Identity' then they'll have done it by stealth.

They're being so duplicitous about this. I've no trust left.

Rar! I am Equitysaurus RightsareaPietops and I refuse to concede a single one of my women's rights, thanks!

The BBC serious hitters sense blood here.

I hope they also go after the self-publicist Tories Caroline Noakes (Women & Equalities Committee chair), Penny Mordaunt (international trade minister, and former Women & Equalities Minister) and the ever-active Crispin Blunt (APPG chair) who are complicit in all this nonsense at Tory conference time. Or any time.

And Theresa bloody May who let it all get so far.

And fucking Cameron, Greening, Morgan, Rudd and Miller if they show their faces.

Human Rights are for female humans too, Lammy.

Loving the dinosaurs coming out for this Arabella!
