Wish I was at this lunch

How great would it be to hang out with "the witches they couldn't burn"

I’m not sure why @Fluffymule post was deleted MN? Nothing in it breaking any rules.

Have The Monitors arrived?

I missed Fluffy's post but was expecting more pushback than we have had... so far!

@Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g

Is that allowed? I thought parties were pretty hot on expecting loyalty and longevity of allegiance.

I think it's all a lot more ... fluid .. these days.

I just posted a link to an archive of Heather Herberts twitter post, I noticed someone else had archived it late last night.

I didn't think it was against mumsnet rules, apologies if it is.

Ah, I think sometimes archive links are auto-hid, Fluffy.

Thanks for that photo Domesticated. Heather doesn't look at all how I imagined Heather would look, or like someone who should be passing judgement on the appearance of 'other women'.

The thing is, though, that I've just never seen women in politics talk about other women like this. It doesn't happen. It just isn't fucking relevant.

@bellinisurge - Did you see you were namechecked in the Daily Mail??

@MaMaLa321

I loved the photos, but I wonder how those who were left out felt? Posie Parker has kept this going through sheer bloody-mindindness. But she seems to be the wrong sort of Feminist for some people. And Graham Lineham, who has sacrificed his career to the cause. Heather Brunskell Evans, who did a great talk at Bristol University.

It's great to see all those wonderful women, but there is also a trace of those horrible facebook posts of people having a great time when you weren't invited.

The thing is they may have just not been available on the day or something, I really don't think it means they were deliberately excluded.

Hopefully this was just one of many lovely boozy meetings (with more to come) and I can understand why it was probably held in secret, lest some angry bloke in a skirt tuned up to flash them through the window or something - all in the name of being 'progressive'.

*turned up

I so hope they're cooking something up.

It was only last week that I wanted to telepathically ask J. K. Rowling to set up something that we could all contribute to.

Glorious stuff !

How do you know they were left out? They may not have been available. Please don't look for negatives. This is lovely!

What a bunch of total legends.

I'm so envious. Where's my invite JK?

Stomps.

Could you not send one of your little wingéd cherubs with a message, Datun? It would be a bit like owl post.

Suzanne Moore’s said she’s going to write about it in the Telegraph tomorrow.

@DoYouSeaWhatISea

Looks like an amazing get together!

This is like the authors' photo for the Annals of The Terf Wars

I love the love and support radiating among them. Just fantastic to see

@BigWoollyJumpers yes I did. Revolting paper - no illusions about Daily Fail's motives - but eventually they will all have to cover it and they will all have to start listening.

They forgot Kellie-Jay Keen, I think she deserved to be there.

Isn't it amazing that a few years ago pp on this board were wondering what JK Rowling thought, and now we have this! Such fantastic progress 😁

The Mail is one thing, but Tatler’s society pages would be more appropriate.

I would have loved to see Nehanda there

Reading the Mail, it seems linked to the launch of the Sex Matters initiative. Perhaps others are not so involved in that.

Baroness Nicholson would be been a great invite.

There are lots of key people in the movement not in these photos. I wouldn't read anything into them not being there. The movement is growing, lots of movers and shakers which is wonderful.
