Shame on politicians who refuse to listen to women’s concerns
One might have thought that four days would have been sufficient for Mr Lammy to work out that a cervix can't be grown or grafted. And "actual issues"? Including MVAW? That's an actual issue, even if it doesn't touch Mr Lammy or Mr Butterworth. ...
RT @Steve__Clare: For those in Scotland still standing up for women's rights. @demsabroaduk are organising a demo in Edinburgh at 2 pm on Saturday to protest the Texas abortion law. These concerns are valid! https://t.co/ncS8DR... @forwomenscot @n ...
RT @helenstaniland: This is insane. @DavidLammy says 'let's be clear - one in four transpeople commit suicide'. How can anyone say this out loud and not think - actually, do a full quarter of transpeople kill themselves? *Of course they don't*. How ...
RT @Dis_Critic: One of Glasgow's first female Labour councillors, Mary Barbour, pioneered Glasgow's first family planning clinic- a controversial move- but she was brave and she acknowledged, @Keir_starmer @EmilyThornberry, the impact Women's biology ...
RT @LabWomenDec: We're delighted that @RosieDuffield1 felt able to attend our unofficial event last night, when she couldn't attend conference itself. We had the considered, evidence-based debate that @UKLabour frontbenchers claim to want. #Lab21 ...
Our submission to the consultation about the EHRC's strategic plan. Closing date is tomorrow so there's still time to send in your views. https://t.co/VHeqcS...

RT @joannaccherry: I’m regularly stopped in the street in Scotland & London by women & men who say they agree with my stance on #womensrights & abhor the abuse I & others receive. Politicians who don’t think this is starting to cut ...
Labour conference: I’ve been thrown on railway tracks, says trans row MP Rosie Duffield
RT @NickCohen4: My impression from the conference is that this issue is about to explode unless the leadership admits there's a conflict of rights and starts thinking about how to resolve it.
RT @underaredflag: @ForwomenScot @DavidLammy "women's rights don't "come up on the doorstep""possibly not, but neither does allowing male sex offenders to self Id themselves into female prisons..and if it ever does, I very much doubt he'll like what ...
RT @StigAbell: David Lammy tells @TimesRadio that he wasn’t talking about Rosie Duffield when he referred to “dinosaurs” in the Labour Party, but then declined to say she was not a dinosaur. So there you go.
How dare @DavidLammy determine that women's human rights are not important, especially in the face of the epidemic of male violence? Apparently, women's rights don't "come up on the doorstep" & he refuses to address why he called women ...
RT @helensaxby11: A subject which does not come up on the doorstep? If you spend your time ignoring women @DavidLammy then of course you think the subject doesn't come up. And it's about women's rights, not trans rights. #r4today
RT @LabWomenDec: I have had staff asking me not to speak tonight but I have done it. It has taken me 4 years to work out my own head around it #LWDBrighton @ToniaAntoniazzi I hope it will encourage others to speak up too. ...
