Let me see...
Nicola Sturgeon tells anyone concerned about tranwomen in women's spaces that they're a bigot.
Mark Drakeford, any dissent here is shrill sexual racism.
This Labour Party apparachik, don't like our policy, well fuck off to the Tories.
...I know there's a connection, I wish I just could see it...

'We will see what my friends in the membership team think'

What a spiteful intolerant man child. The witch hunt is alive and well in the Labour Party. Precisely the reason I will not join.

I heard someone a good while back describe Corbyn as seemingly wanting to be in opposition forever, with no desire to get elected because then he would face scrutiny, just happy having a go at the Tories from opposition perpetually.
It's starting to look like this might not just be Corbyn but Starmer too. They've had an open goal against the Tories for ages now but seem determined to cock it up spectacularly. Are Labour afraid of power?

MrsDanversGlidesAgain · 11/05/2023 16:20

A real vote winner - 'vote for someone else.' Oh OK then. Still, at least they preserve their moral purity and they won't have to compromise it in actual power.

Yes.

"Women! Fuck off!"

Their new slogan. Allegedly.

You'll never guess where Stevie boy went to university - yes, Goldsmiths:

Interesting that the party's social media coordinator apparently hasn't had any training in how to conduct himself on social media. It doesn't give you much hope, does it?

LizzieSiddal · 11/05/2023 16:37

This man obviously knows absolutely nothing about this issue from a Womans point of view. Unless Labour start insisting their staff learn about the concerns of women, they can fuck right off.

TheBiologyStupid · 11/05/2023 16:38

Good grief - words fail me, as so many times before with Labour on this issue.

PatatiPatatras · 11/05/2023 16:46

I'm sure we had a thread almost exactly like this one last year.
Labour seems to be churning out new fanatics every year.

whatisgoingonintheworld · 11/05/2023 16:52

I see that on MN some very important issues that affect women are popped neatly away in a corner. Move along dear nothing to see here. I have come across a growing number of women who are unhappy.

I wouldn't go so far as to join theTory party
(born on the Red Clyde and all that) but the Tories will get my vote while Labour and Lib Dems believe in absurdities like some women have a penis,.and that a man can transition to a woman just by saying he has, and all the other daftnesses.

Think of all the women (and men) who have stuck with Labour, trying to get their concerns listened to, refusing to abandon their party...and this is their thanks.

SunnyEgg · 11/05/2023 17:03

All needs to be exposed. Labour are dire

LakeTiticaca · 11/05/2023 17:13

They really are doing their damnedest not to get into power aren't they!!!

And when someone like you, with a rock solid Labour background, is openly saying you'll vote Tory, Labour are going to be in trouble.

MrsOvertonsWindow · 11/05/2023 17:24

Ah well - while Starmer claims that the demolishment of women's rights, safety, sports and child safeguarding are niche issues that nobody is speaking about - numpties like this feel empowered to show their misogynistic streak.

NewspaperTaxis · 11/05/2023 17:34

I think this might be a similar problem for Labour as anti-semitism in that they don't seem to grasp the political ramifications. It's not so much whether it really was an issue in the Labour Party, rather it was perceived as such and they underestimated the ongoing fear in some Jews that it's always lurking around the corner, that you have to keep your suitcase packed at all times, that it's never quite gone away.

Likewise it is easy to underestimate the concern many women have on this issue, that sense - I'm a bloke so call me out if I'm wrong - that they've only got so much, there's two successive blokes in the White House in their 70s when no woman twice as qualified would get on the ballot, a scruffy clown in no 10 until recently and a whole load of other things to contend with and now we have a political party not quite even able to say, okay, this is what a woman actually is. It's like, men have got everything and making a hash of it, now they want to appropriate our gender and take it away from us too.

SunnyEgg · 11/05/2023 17:36

They won’t talk about it. The local elections mean they’ll just say we won’t entertain this issue

I hope it bites them on the butt

I will vote for whichever party looks most likely to put a dent in the incumbent Tory’s majority of 25K, for the sake of the country, but this ridiculous obfuscation does the opposition no favours at all, I absolutely despair.

The UK cannot withstand another Tory government. They may have already destroyed it beyond repair. Labour and the LibDems need to get their shit together and soon.

NotHavingIt · 11/05/2023 19:18

The guy looks to be about 19 years old, and has the audacity of his arrogance to suggest that the many women who had been part of the Labour movement for years before he was even born, should "go and join the Tories" if they want to protect their dignity and their rights.

So, if it is "destroyed beyond repair" how do you think that Labour is going to fix it? You have some pretty high hopes to fulfil, there.

NotHavingIt · 11/05/2023 19:22

The Liberals picked up a lot of protest votes from both right and left. There is a long time to go yet before the election, and many of those votes could so easily drop away. I wouldn't bank on anything.
