The Labour leader said: “Sex based rights matter, and we must preserve all those wins that we’ve had for women over many years and including safe spaces for women.”

I've signed that and shared with everyone I know. Got DH to share with his friends too and ask them to share etc. Wish I could sign it every day instead of checking if it's moving

Sorry to have seemed to harry you, scratched especially with all that sharing you did!

I hope though that anyone here reading what you said about improving the legislation around GRCs, will see the point of signing if they haven’t yet.

Yes. He does, as quoted a few times here and across other threads - I'm on my phone but I'll try and find you a direct quote. He seems to acknowledge only one aspect of the legislation around a GRC. He has a habit of not setting out the whole issue.

Labour badly need to win back seats from the SNP so why is Starmer essentially backing such an unpopular move? This was his chance to show how much better Labour could be compared with the SNP. All the waffle and fudge just makes him look devious and untrustworthy. I suppose, as already noted, he’s hamstrung by the TRA types in his own party who seem to have a lot more sway than their counterparts in the Tories. Having said that, this seems to be a dangerously divisive issue for both parties.

Wasn't this also the bill that Stephen Whittle, TM and with really rather exceptionally dirty hands in all this, said had been successfully slid in under the radar with barely anyone noticing and 'no fuss in the press'?

I think this is the same individual who mentioned lots of cosy cups of tea with key people behind closed doors to manipulate them. The game plan has always included keeping everything as secret and disguised as possible so it slides through unquestioned, with a lot of soothing 'nothing to see here' noises and No Debate as the back up when that began to fail.

This pernicious movement's main fear has always been people waking up to what they were doing in time to prevent them.

Please, never assume I've seen anything important. Always harass me. I'm frustrated I can't think of anyone else to sign it.
