If any of us are wondering why Labour seems indifferent to women's rights, it's possible that the Labour for the Long-Term (LLT) plans see us an necessary collateral damage.
Effective Altruism is associated with Sam Bankman-Fried (FTX crash). It's also providing money for researchers for Labour MPs.
Some seasonal reading. No mention of women's rights but when I see the sponsored MPs it gave me pause for thought.
LLT popped up on the MPs’ register of interests soon after, donating a £30,000-a-year ‘policy adviser’ to health secretary Wes Streeting. On its website, it boasts of having support from other shadow ministers, too, such as Anneliese Dodds, Alex Sobel and Fleur Anderson.
It has recently advertised for a ‘policy and operations manager’ worth up to £50,000 a year, suggesting a funding pot larger than most of Labour’s affiliated socialist societies. And it is understood that the group hopes to continue growing its roster of advisers and staffers for MPs and other decision makers across the spectrum of the Labour Party.

In the New Yorker piece, I came across Schelling Fences which I'd not seen before.
