JKR calls Labour's Bluff - Offering Meeting leadership only on her terms

[fromorbit]

JKR is playing at a different level. After Starmer and Reeves offered to meet with her she gave them her conditions.

I'll be happy to meet after NoXYinXXprisons, Lesbian Labour, Womens Rights Network, WomansPlaceUK and Alliance LGB have been given in person meetings with the Labour leadership. I'd also like to know whether Angela Rayner still considers the last two organisations hate groups.

They are trapped either they now have to meet with gay and women's groups and listen to them something they are desperate not to do. It is not impossible then that Reeves at least can be made to see some sense. Even talking with these groups and JKR will also make TRAs go ballistic and many will leave the party. Chances are that Labour will promise a bunch of stuff to JKR which If Labour still follow gender nonsense after that they can be fully held to account for. If they promise single sex spaces are safe then every time that is breached Labour's credibility will be on the line

Or if they refuse to meet with the groups they prove EVERYTHING JKR said in her essay was right.

The media are now hyping the meeting further locking Labour in

Keir Starmer insists he WILL meet with JK Rowling to thrash out trans and gender rights & ‘respects’ her views

Brilliant, I wish Jk ran the world.

JKR now wants Rosie and Labour Women's Declaration in the room too.

Labour Women Declaration should definitely be in the room. It'd be nice to see you in there, too, Rosie, but I won't hold my breath.

Would also be nice if @LabWomenDec (representing thousands of Labour members) were given a proper meeting, and their stalls were finally allowed at Labour Conferences after being blocked for several years

If they learn nothing else, they’ll have learnt not to piss off JKR.

This is such a brilliant move.

Oh my goodness, feet to the fire or what!

Watching with interest.

Brilliant ! But isn't it shameful that JKR has to remind Starmer that they should be meeting with labour women. The ABC of politics.
Numpties.

Wow. They must be having kittens working out what to do next.
I can hear ‘Pressure. Pushing down on me.’ running in my head. Tick tock. 9 days to go.
They still can’t have my vote though , no matter what the outcome. It shouldn’t have come to this.

Oooh excellent < 🍿 >

Blimey she is excellent

I think Starmer and Reeves underestimate how committed JKR is and how clever she is.

J.K. Rowling
Oh, and also, for about the millionth bloody time - this is not about trans rights. This is about THE RIGHTS OF WOMEN AND GIRLS and lobby groups' attempts to remove them.

The Trap is building up. Everyone seems keen. What will Labour say.

LGB Alliance
Thank you very much for your support jkrowling, we would of course be delighted to meet with KeirStarmer, but a reply to our letter would be a good start: https://lgballiance.org.uk/our-asks-for-the-party-leaders/

Woman’s Place UK
Thank you. We would welcome such a meeting. Of course the inestimable
@LabWomenDec need to be at the table too. There is just so much to say.

Keep Prisons Single Sex
transwidows must be included. Spouses, usually wives, are at the frontline, their voices are silenced & their needs dismissed as at best a distracting irrelevance and at worst as hateful.

JKR for Prime Minister

Queen takes king.

Your move Labour

Totes

I cackled when I read her tweet 😆

She could run rings round Starmer while he just gets more & more splinters in his arse.

Wow, she has out manoeuvred them all, she’s some politician!

Absofuckinglutely.

If no one gets their bloody act together before the 4th that's what I'm spoiling my ballot with.

She's not only done that but shown what intergrity is.

ie acknowledging all (well some) of the groups who have been campaigning and politicians (Labour) felt they could just ignore or call dinasours or terfs or some other demeaning term.

But also so depressing.

Are we to take from this that the ordingary voter is of no interest to politicians, but a celebrity will be listened to?

Oh touché, oh mighty JKR. Cuts straight through the BS I bloody love it!

It is depressing, but at this stage I just want them to listen to SOMEONE who gives a fig about women. Anyone would do.

When you think she couldn’t possibly get any better.

JKR you’re amazing. Bloody love that woman.

This is just brilliant! Starmer is impaled on a fork of his own making.

Not just ordinary voters but actual labour members and MPs ignored.

She’s bloody brilliant. I wish I could vote for HER.

A brilliant response, pointing out all the groups that Labour should have been talking to, and saying I'll meet after you meet with them.
One impressive woman.
