Whilst having every respect for Rosie Duffield and think her treatment is disgusting, what we dont hear about is in fact how many women are now open about being disrespected by the Labour Party both local and national.
Not always on GC issues, but very definitely if you step out of line of the top down diktats, you get squeezed out if not actually expelled. And the well worn tactic of an investigation that never ever comes to an end.
I start collecting links to news stories about women elected as local Labour councillors who eventually gave up on the party manipulation and resigned to become independents.
Needless to say I've now lost the list, but from memory one was a Labour councillor in Essex, who was put through a process is the punishment ordeal. And in my own borough 3 Labour women councillors have resigned and become independent councillors because of the dictatorial and unrepresentative way Labour was working.
Its partly the local experience but also hearing from women like Rosie Duffield and others who have been expelled or sidelined, even long standing Jewish member of the Labour Party who are anti Zionist, that I have deep concerns about an organisation that runs itself in this way to be in any way fit to run the country.
I dont understand why the media is giving Starmer such an easy ride.
