I couldn't believe the news this morning, its almost like Labour don't want to win the election with this new bullshit they've decided to spout just 10 days before the election.

Obviously they feel people (women) will just suck it up.

Great caller on LBC now. If you’re a mner you’re a ledge

I have spoken to two women today who were going to vote for Labour but aren't now. Add me and that's three!

You can count me out of voting for them, so there's another dissenter.

I wasn't going to vote Labour but was debating between not going or spoiling the paper, as our MP has retired and there are 7 different candidates to choose from this GE - all of them bad, but now I don't know. There's a baby who is Conservative & Unionist Party, whatever the hell that is.

EDIT - apparently it's the Conservatives full title? First time I've seen it listed like that.

What are they saying?

But that wouldn't be good enough. If they REALLY don't believe in primogeniture & want to enrage the aristos, they should bring it into line with the rest of their changes. Otherwise, Labour would be bringing in one rule for the rich & one rule for the rest of us. They wouldn't do that, surely?

Pretty much an excellent verbal account of similar to GC on here. Labour fudging it, we need single sex. Used correct sex based pronouns for someone called Frida Wallace which was great.

Shelagh F tried to soften but Catherine (name of caller) said as I am allowed and SF agreed. I read this on here but so good to hear clarity on other media.

Excellent!

I second that question. What’s a ledge?

I'd like to see someone do a 'Did you threaten to overrule him?' type of interview with Starmer about single sex spaces versus 'safe spaces'.

Aus slang for legend have been spending time around it

I thought it was a typo but decided probably legend.

@EasternStandard

This is Freda Wallace. I mentioned this discussion upthread.

That recent statement re making it easier to get a GRA clinched it for us.

My friend a long-time labour voter and party member, has said she's not voting for them this year. She's not sure where her vote is going now.

Way to say you haven't read the book without saying you haven't read the book (Freda, obviously, that is - deciding that people don't mean what they say, but only what the TRAs say they mean )

Damned right it has! Do they think women are stupid?

The left abandoned us!

If you’re in a swing seat your vote will make a difference. Use it to put pressure on Labour to legally protect biological women’s rights.

Why swing voters could deny Labour an election landslide

Sad to say that I'm a thoroughly safe Tory seat and tactical voting would make no difference. I shall be spoiling my ballot.

From the Times article above:
"Morgan McSweeney, the party’s campaign chief, is said to believe that there are 100 seats or more which are currently too close to call, with about five million voters still uncertain which party to back.
McSweeney’s focus on winning over “hero voters” in swing seats who previously voted Conservative has helped put Labour on course for power, and the strategy has seen the party pick up support in constituencies it needs to win while shedding some on the left in safe urban seats."

So why are Labour pushing gender ideology, which is unlikely to appeal to just the voters they want to attract?

Are they hoping those voters won't notice or care? And that the urban voters can be kept on side with rainbow-washing?

Oh shit! DH and I share the club card and it’s in his name!
Does that mean I’m a man now!?!!

You're OK @GenericMNwoman. As the TRAs and "allies" never tire of telling us, it's not what's in your pants that matters, it's what's in your head.
