You might wonder why I feel so strongly about the prison estate- I’ve worked in both the male and female estate. The women I worked with were addicted, prostituted and abused. They were vulnerable and often in prison due to their relationships with men.Women need safe spaces.

Labour men- being dismissive and sarky about the

My daughter said I make her very proud. That’s good enough for me.I ran a campaign based on honesty and decency. I gave it my best shot and I’m proud I did.I will always do good in my community. Standing up for women does not make me a transphobe.I hope all the bullies feel good.

If we are talking about all getting along nicely and reasoned debate, can someone explain to me why women have to meet in secret. Why, when I attended a fringe meeting at LP conf we couldn’t know the venue til an hour before. Why a group of women were met with a snarling mob ?

Lots of young women are going to(rightly so),feel angry, exorcised and wanting to rise up. A word to the wise, steer well clear of the SWP. Be careful the banners you hold aloft. Do not let them manipulate their way into your life. Rape apologists and no friend of women.

Today I’ve been shouted and bawled at on my own doorstep by an incredibly angry man. It can be incredibly scary for a woman in public office. I’m not an “ evil bitch “ because I believe in vaccines. I will do anything I can to encourage more women to get involved in politics.

“ I don’t care about the men buying sex” - wow, incredible. She talks about tackling the root causes of why women are exploited. I will spell it out, Nadia,MEN. This is why we need the conversations early with boys and men about how women are not just commodities to supply sex.
No one should be pushed into sex work by poverty. But that’s the reality for many women in a cost of living crisis.
Criminalisation makes the industry more dangerous and harder to leave.
The solution is to fully decriminalise it + tackle the root causes.

Why do women always have to concede ? Why do women of all ages, women of colour, women of all backgrounds race and religions always have to accommodate men. Why do we fear them? Because male violence and sexual violence. That’s why we try to fight back. The statistics speak.

Advocating violence against others is wrong & this is no exception.
But as you’ll be aware violent language and actions are not unique to one side on this issue. That doesn’t justify the above in anyway, but it does require we acknowledge the general toxicity & step back from it

Sex work is not work. Who wins if it’s decriminalised- men. Ever thus,eh. It’s always about power, control, supply and demand . Women don’t hold the power here. They rarely ever do.
The cost of living is pushing more people into sex work, at the same time as making it more dangerous.
The answer is not to criminalise it. It’s to prevent poverty and keep workers safe.

One thing I have learned since 2015 is that Corbyn will always make it about him. Yesterday was about apology’s, humility and contrition. He displayed none of the above. He loves the adoration, he’s no leader just a petty man desperate for the “Oh, Jeremy Corbyn”. Wasted years.
