  1. The Guardian view on political donations: Labour should curb the power of big money | Editorial
    By Editorial

    Before becoming prime minister, Andy Burnham favoured a £500,000 donations cap. In office, he’s backing away. That is a mistake

  3. Performative whining, we'll keep the aid flowing to Israel, we'll keep silencing dissent, we'll keep tacitly endorsing the Genocide the World can see happen in real time on their phones.

    Okay, I'm hearing that #AnnelieseDodds *isn't* a TERF.

    She has met with the bigoted LGB Alliance and she once said women can't have a penis. But apparently she's also come to the defence of trans rights and has been quite a strong ally in recent months.

    Maybe she used to be a TERF or she was a taken out of context (e.g. quoting someone else or key words cut from the quote).

    I'm feeling more optimistic than I was this morning.

  5. CW: UK politics, Labour, transphobia

    Not a great week so far for trans people in the UK

    On Monday, shadow minister for women and equalities Anneliese Dodds MP used an opinion column in the Guardian to announce Labour’s new stance on gender recognition reform, hugely weakened from the kind of reform they supported in Scotland last year: theguardian.com/commentisfree/

    Indeed, Dodds had the gall to say that the Scottish Government’s reform bill – which was supported by most Labour MSPs and would have become law had Westminster not blocked it – was ‘cavalier’ and ‘more about picking a fight with Westminster than bringing about meaningful change’! Seriously?!

    On Tuesday, ‘gender-critical’ ‘feminist’ Rosie Duffield MP unsurprisingly lent support to the new proposals, which she says are ‘going in the right direction’ for ‘biological women’: theguardian.com/politics/live/

    And today (Wednesday), leader of the opposition Keir Starmer MP said:

    ‘Firstly, a woman is an adult female, so let’s clear that one up …

    [You mean, adult female *human being*, or are female butterflies also women?]

    ‘We don’t think that self-identification is the right way forward. We’ve reflected on what happened in Scotland …

    [Rather, what happened *to* Scotland, when the UK government blocked competent legislation without warning]

    ‘We’ve set out that we want to modernise the process, get rid of some of the indignities in the process, keep it a medical process.

    [*Some* of the indignities. Nice /s]

    ‘We’ve always said, I’ve continued to say, and Sunday, when we completed our policy forum, allowed us to be clear that there should be safe places, safe spaces, for women, particularly in relation to violence against women and girls.’

    [So what?]

    Starmer lacks the positive values and qualities of his predecessor

    On trans rights as on so many other issues, he’d rather tread lightly for fear of actually being seen to *oppose* the Tory government’s horrific agenda

    Originally I disliked #lisaNandy - largely because she expressed major reservations about opposing #BRINO brexit because in her neck of the woods it was seen as disrespect. Now (after #2019GE) I accept actually she was right - I was blaming the messenger

    One thing sure - we can't have yet another white male Londoner if #starmer goes

    #yvetteCooper too #blair era I think

    Dunno about #bridgetPhillipson but not I think #annelieseDodds
