James Murray on R4 just now - TWANW

[FlossieF]

New health secretary asked if he thinks TWAW- said he has changed his mind about this (as per Wes S) and supports single sex spaces on the basis of biological sex. As well he should, but still good to hear.

It would be cruel to ask him exactly what it was that had caused him to changed his mind.

Cruel and as you rightly say counter-productive. But fun!

Are we going to have to shuffle every Labour MP into the health sex role to get them all to say this ffs?!

😂

It will be interesting to hear the answer of junior health minister Stephen Kinnock the Minister of State for Care when he is asked the question. His daughter Camilla has had her breasts removed & now answers to the name of Milo.

On World at One, there was an item about trade union members now supporting Reform. Paul Nowak, General Secretary of TUC banged on about "not getting message across" and was asked about Durham council, now Reform, not funding the Pride march and trade unions stepping in. His reply showed how completely out of touch the unions are with the general public by saying that it is OK for councils amd unions to fund such events.
Also no mention of asking their members why they might support Reform.

It would be interesting and it’s likely that that has been a big issue for Labour.

(that was supposed to say health Sec!)

All the Labour politicians asked about this always cite the Supreme Court ruling as their moment of epiphany 🙄 They're all such 'rules lawyers' that apparently they need the SC to explain biology to them.

So there’s this thing called party discipline, all the parties tend to follow it unless they’re on one of their recently frequent leadership meltdowns. (God I hate that particular outcome of Cameron’s referendum!)

Was it the May 7 local/Welsh/Scottish election results that did it?

If party discipline means deliberately lying to the electorate then I prefer outspoken backbenchers and independents who tell you what they're really thinking.

Cameron & co were not good for the UK's political landscape, it feels like we'll be cleaning up their mess for decades to come.

I think it’s fucking appalling that they’ve had to rely on lawyers rather than the basic scientific / biological facts that every farmer knows.

Proof positive that the patriarchy really does exist.

Well yes, there are deluded people who believe in a myriad of untrue things. But I wasn't referring to the mentally unwell.

I suppose it's a change from what many men usually use to think with!
