  Pandering to the most awful bigots in the country is an awful thing to do. This is a spineless government with no principles other than “don’t offend the right wing”.

    Feels like a cozying up to trump looking for a tariff exemption by doing this too, right?

      Wouldn’t be surprising at this point.

  Labour chose to take this particular stance today. There are many other approaches they could have taken, they could have also tried to dodge the matter and kick they can down the road, but instead “trans women are not women” is what they have chosen to actively embrace.

  (Further) pandering to the transphobic lobby is not necessary, and what’s been said today is far beyond pandering.
