Valid. Pro-choice should be the norm but many women confuse it with glorification of abortion. I've seen women in social media gloating about having their 6th abortion in a month.

My main memory of FBPE people following 2016: Horrible bigots that were upset that they were now having to suffer the same as the people they thought were lesser. Incredible amounts of transphobia and homophobia from them

So, Burnham's conference speech: A lot of tofu for the FBPE crowd Labour lost to the Lib Dems or the couch during the Sir Keira: renationalising water, electoral reform, pensions overhaul, rejoining the EU. All of which lies safely in the distant future & is therefore fictional until delivered.

The Labour Party’s women’s conference on 26/9/26 was an embarrassing farce, with only 200 delegates of the 1,000 normal attendance (no major unions) in protest of the Labour Party’s shameful abandonment of trans people following the legally absurd ruling of the Supreme Court in FWS in April 2025.

Chalk this up as another one of those situations where marginalised people warned you about this Labour government, and "centrists" talked over us like the smug morons that they are. Don't trust Labour. Don't trust centrists and liberals.

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

The Democrats defend the Kennedy Center but not trans people.

I'm mentally working out the likely cost of healthcare for the presumably predominantly older populace and it's frankly eye watering. Thousands a month *per person*. I think they should be forced to secede to model what not having an NHS would look like.

Greens just four points behind Labour in urban areas, poll reveals
Exclusive: Party could take 40 seats if result replicated at next election, according to Labour-linked thinktank The Green party is just four points behind Labour in urban constituencies, putting them within touching distance of taking as many as 40 seats if the result was replicated at the next election, according to new polling by a Labour-linked thinktank. The survey by ThinkLabour, which has extensive links to Andy Burnham’s government, finds that urban voters have moved in large numbers towards Zack Polanski’s party since the 2024 general election. The research highlights the challenge Labour faces holding onto the Holborn and St Pancras seat in the face of a challenge from Polanski himself at next month’s byelection. Continue reading...

Turns out the guy in charge of purging trans women from the UK Green Party was endorsed by TERFs according to s Mumsnet post and he says “Gender Critical beliefs are protected” in the Green Party.
@kaitaylor’s twitter account Kai Taylor @KAITAYLOR• 1h
GC beliefs are protected. Transphobia is prejudice, discrimination or harassment towards trans people. A protected belief is not a free pass to mistreat others, and breaches of the Code of Conduct should result in disciplinary action.

North west Green Party election for GPRC reps is live!
To further GWD's aims & ensure good governance, we strongly recommend voting for Amanda Onwuemene & Kai Taylor.
Do not place any other candidates!
NW members, check your email received today.
Emma Bateman is gardening again for her case there was supposed to be a hearing on Feb 12th, but GPEW postponed it with her agreement
"The Greens have been desperate to postpone this case and wanted me to agree to a delay. Initially I would not do so, and the Green Party said that they would make an application to adjourn. They suggested that they would incur extra costs if they were forced to go ahead on the 12th, and that they would seek recovery from me for those extra costs.
I would have been willing to risk this, however my legal team advised me to accept the postponement. It is incredibly frustrating but as a lay person, though / was loathe to agree, I felt that I should follow the advice of my solicitors and barrister - after all, they are the experts."
Most significant amongst the results of this
Regional Committee ballot and besides that of Paul Davies for Chair with 75, 5% of the vote was the election of Councillor Amanda Onwuemene from
the Wirral and Councillor Kai Taylor from Knowsley to serve as GPRC representatives. Both were sponsored by Green Women's Declaration and Greens in Exile.

GPEW are at best still a bunch of useless fucking amateurs and at worst a Party that - in spite of it being 90% good people - is defenceless against transphobes in the ranks. And you STILL have Mothin "Transphobe for religious reasons, don't diss my religion" Ali as Deputy Leader.
