Why does hate women so much? Over and again just about everything they do is anti-female, the latest being disgusting attempt to smear everyone concerned over the rape and torture of those poor girls in northern cities as “far right”. Does that I wonder include long-term Labour supporter , who has rightly labelled these evil criminals “rape gangs”, not “grooming gangs”?
And what possible justification is there for into this? We all know full well that the real reason is that Labour is terrified of upsetting its Muslim voters and so are once again trying to divert attention from this by blaming everyone else.
is right, Jess Phillips should be hanging her head in shame. But this is just the latest display of Labour treating women with contempt. Indeed, the very first thing they did on gaining office, taking away the , affects women disproportionately – 54 per cent of those receiving it were female.
Labour then released thousands of prisoners for some spurious political point-scoring about prison overcrowding: those freed included men convicted of rape and domestic violence. Needless to say, no one bothered to inform many of the traumatised victims in advance.
Starmer’s party has got a truly awful record when it comes to defending women against the extremist side of the trans brigade: not only has the prime minsister publicly stated that some women can have a penis, but he made She’s one of the “a trans woman is a woman” brigade, the kind of thinking that allows biological men into female prisons, with inevitable and tragic results.

“They are the same lads who were briefing against me in the newspapers and other prominent female MPs – and I had been really hoping for better, but it wasn’t to be.”
And it hardly needs to be pointed out that Labour has never had a female leader and neither does it look like that’s going to happen any time soon.
, meanwhile, are on their fourth – let that sink in.
Starmer claimed that those who totally justifiably criticised Jess Phillips “crossed a line”.
That is the same phrase that President Barack Obama used when warning the then President Bashar al-Assad not to use chemical weapons on his own people: Assad ignored him and did it anyway, making Barack look extremely foolish.
Nice precedent, Sir Keir, but then again what would I know?
After all, I’m only a woman.
