Is Bridget an activist, or simply a normal, weasly politician? She's in a difficult position now, if she is an activist, because Andy's just made her Labour Chair, so she's going to have to try her best to get Labour past Reform at the next election. And she won't be able to do that if she gets into bed with the increasingly unhinged activists.
"My belief has always been that we can deliver appropriate single-sex services, whether that's rape crisis, women's refuges, good access to sporting activity for girls, without that meaning that we have to engage in what has become, I think, deeply unpleasant targeting of people who simply wish to live their lives without causing any harm to anyone else."

And, Bridget, that "deeply unpleasant targeting of people"??? - you might want to be careful who you side with. It isn't women doing the unpleasant targeting.
