[RoyalCorgi]

Talking about why she left the Guardian!

Damn, won't be able to listen, but hopefully can catch it later. Good for her, she will be great

Oooh, go Hadley!

Ah if anyone could summarise I'd be extremely grateful...

On now. Better still, it's Emma Barnett in the chair.

Jeremy corbyn and gender ideas being censored. Resignation letter leaked to private eye

Compared the guardian to a partner who has suddenly become a conspiracy theorists

Wasn't allowed to write about mermaids, but telegraph was and therefore she also want allow to follow up on it...

Emma updating that charity commission has escalated their investigation.

She had been asking to write (or for someone to write) about Mermaids - and being told no.

Whenever she wanted to write about gender identity ideology the Guardian always said no but they reasons for this always changed. The last excuse was "we don't follow other newspapers' stories".

The ban in the Guardian writing about gender identity ideology was across the board for all journalists while trans activists were platformed.

Oh wow! She isn't mincing her words. Go Hadley.

Interesting so far. Epic timing with the Charity Commission escalation.

EB clarifying that whenever something slipped through it was nearly always in The Observer.

The degree of censorship being revealed is startling even for those of us who've been following this for years.

“Reality based feminists” 😂

God love her. Emma’s in a tricky spot given her treatment of Maya in that appallingly aggressive interview she did.

This is so enlightening. The Guardian would happily promote trans activists but not reality based feminists.

HF saying that a very senior Guardian bod said, explicitly: You are not allowed to write about gender. I do not want women to be writing about gender.

This was in front of witnesses.

Only men were allowed to write about women's rights!!

Amazing - will listen on catch up

Love Hadley

OMG listening now and it's just more and more shocking!

A HF bashing gathering instigates by external lobbying groups and people was held at the Guardian when she was away on business and this was withheld from her and when she learned about it HR said that it would cause trouble to make any statement.

HF: it's been happening all over, in the UK and elsewhere, and including at Woman's Hour.

bringing women's hour into it now!! Saying Jenni murry was silenced

She's just mentioned Woman's Hour - fan bloody tastic!! Emma talking shite about presenters not allowed to have opinions!!

It is just so sad though. The Guardian was / is needed as a corrective to The Torygraph and the Daily Fail. But it’s chosen to die on a hill detrimental to girls and women.

The left in general is so stuck in this quagmire of always thinking of themselves as and/or wanting to support all progressive projects. That was laudable until more recently and being swept up and blindsided by the trans ‘ gender ideology as being part of the progressive agenda.

The extreme gender ideology is the best gift the far right could ever have in dividing the left and stoking culture wars ultimately to the progressive agenda.

Yes, Hadley… completely agree it’s reality based feminism, not bloody GC feminism.

I’m hanging on every word, it’s bloody brilliant.

Did WH ever have Helen Joyce on?
