With Labour Women's Declaration stall now in the main hall this weekend the Scottish Labour Conference in Glasgow 16-18 Feb shows no debate is truly over in Scottish Labour. Four policy motions are up for voting in conference lodged from recent Scottish Labour Women's Conference will be on the floor. Women chose these motions as a priority:
Education Funding;
Women's Rights [motion 10 - key one for gender crits being voted on Sat afternoon];
Protecting Neonatal Services;
a Real National Care Service
See below for text. This is the background to getting the motion passed at Scottish Labour Women's Conference in December:

This doesn't mean the battle for women's rights is won in Scottish Labour. Far from it - just moving to a new stage of the fight which would not be possible without the work of many thousands who refused to be silenced across Scotland, inside political parties and on the streets.
Women in Scottish Labour will now have a chance to fight against sexist ideas openly, and when the genderists have to fight in open debate sooner or later they always lose. Biological realists are taking back the political parties - ALL of them. It will take years, but it will happen.
Going to be interesting to see who will actually vote against motion 10 it is carefully worded, but it is a clear defence of women's sex based rights. I suspect we are going to see a huge swarm of ferrets reversing wildly. This could increase pressure on Starmer to stop fence sitting.
Also obviously if Scottish Labour are more openly pro-women could be a huge weapon against the SNP in the upcoming general election.
Keep an eye on the amazing Ann Henderson who is a figure in winning back Scottish Labour for women.
