Since what Labour is proposing is a change to the status quo, it's incumbent on them to explain how it would be implemented. Many women's shelters, for example, willingly accept trans women. If Labour came into power and said that wasn't allowed, even ignoring that most of them would find that morally indefensible, how would they check? Would they be obliged to vet every woman coming in? Would they be required to vet those already in there? What would this vetting actually involve? Labour can't and won't actually answer any of these questions

I read what you wrote, agreed, figured it was common sense.

But then I remembered that none of this basic logic prevented brexit or any of the associated bullshit that we're still dealing with so far on.

0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. It has, however, made him into a very, very smart boy with something like a university degree in Truth. Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world.

Not the main point you are making, but it further shows the amazing extent to which Labour has absolutely no interest in even pretending to include opinions other than the leadership directives. It is literally not possible for normal people to influence them or for them to care about normal people.

Excited for a repeat of the Brown years when unions and petitions and Labour members groups just got blanked but some church group with a dozen members or a local rag that did zero research could be like "porn kills women" or "there's a new legal high that turns your balls into centipedes" and there'd be an official legislative response within the month.

quote:

Labour will need more Keirs like this new one

Centrism of Selby by-election winner will help Starmer steady his ship of state — if the new Commons baby can survive



It was a rainy September evening in Liverpool. The Labour Party, gathered for their 2016 conference, were in an unhappy state. Jeremy Corbyn had become leader and a wedge of the party were out of sympathy with him. His Momentum supporters were holding a rival gathering of their own elsewhere in the city.

I, meanwhile, was walking back to my hotel. Two young chaps going the same way recognised me as a Times columnist and we fell into conversation. Dressed in suits, I guessed they were not from the Corbynite wing; and one of them (aged about 18, though he looked younger) was heading to Oxford University. He impressed me. His fluency, confidence and command of an argument stood out; and beyond this he struck me as a good person, and brave, if a bit squeaky. There was a cockiness about him that I liked but could see might grate with some.

Time, however, would cure the sassiness of youth. We exchanged contact details and have been friends ever since. I was to hear of the rough time he had as co-chairman of his university student Labour association at the hands of the Momentum-inclined Labour. But all through the Corbyn years he stayed true to his centrist colours.... (etc etc)

quote:

An anonymous Wikipedia user with an IP address located right next to Parliament had removed the reference to Hymers College, citing "Schooling misinformation".

Following this removal, a debate began to rage on the Talk section of Keir Mather's Wikipedia page about whether or not the MP did, in fact, attend Hymers. This debate included references to Evolve's initial tweet and subsequent retraction:

the article also says that he actually only went to hymers for primary school then moved to a state school for secondary education. who the gently caress posts on their primary school's alumni facebook group looking for a place to live

Surely people who went to the state school will be able to confirm if he went there or not. Uncle Tony can't be capable of murdering them all... can he?

He did a reverse Lee Anderson - very suss that Tories are going around and collecting the numbers of underage minors and becoming 'friends.' Would be hilarious if he was a Tory plant to ruin Labour's credibility whilst Kieth does it for them.

It uses a dpmo algorithm to plot the expected offset per ± 1.5 linear sigma across a 0.75 spherical surface distribution.
