The Suffragettes, The Lionesses, the #MeToo movement, they fought, they won; but it shouldn’t be a fight between Labour and women. WE are the party who should be working with and for women; and yet here we are, left wanting.

"No one denies the existence of trans people.That’s patent nonsense. No one wants to take away their existing rights or make their lives any more difficult.All of us described as “gender critical” have just wanted to maintain sex-based rights for women."

It’s extraordinary that a cautious, temperate letter like this should pass for bravery, but it does. Well done to this small but growing handful of Labour MPs (and peers, although it’s easier for them) prepared to show guts. https://twitter.com/LabWomenDec/status/1553640766492348417

Owen Jones is seriously encouraging his 1 million followers to harass a politician in the street, maybe outside his home, less than a year after David Amess was stabbed. Has he lost his mind?
