So far he has u-turned on:

• Rejoining the EU

• Pushing for proportional representation

• Rachel Reeves' fiscal rules

• Shabana Mahmood's immigration plans

and now

• The new EHRC guidance, saying that the guidance should be implemented

How is he different from the current lot? At this rate I hope he loses so there is small chance Rayner wins the leadership race. Although she will probably row back on a lot of the stuff she said as well

Starmer's Labour has done far more damage than Thatcher did with sec 28 and now 0.5% of the population, who are completely exhausted and marginalised have to fight to grab the basic rights that trans people in most European (even eastern European countries) have. Stamer's Labour have normalised transphobia to the extent that even the BBC will use incredibly insulting language, whilst refusing to use the dictionary word 'cisgender' because it offends a tiny minority for no reason at all.

The behaviour of the PLP has been, frankly, evil...at every opportunity they've done their damnedest to attack trans people and to enable the tiny minority who hate us to a clearly pathological degree. They have done absolutely nothing to stop the constant demonisation by the right wing media (plus the Guardian, minus the FT).

How else do you describe it when the state piles in on a group that has so little power to fight back? On a group that has pretty much no political representation?

It should be forever be a source of shame for the Labour party, it should be a scandal that so many in the PLP are against the existence of transsexual people..that transphobia is so normalised, but instead they pat themselves on the back with stripping more from us and fellate each other over how they've managed to make trans people 2nd class citizens in their own country.

Why?

You will gain nothing from your cruelty..so why?
