    Another front opens in the campaign to turn women away from Labour. Describing Labour MPs brave enough to stand up for our rights as holding 'evil' views is a new low. .

    Evil Transphobia has no place in the movement. That some Labour MPs openly flaunt their transphobic credentials causes unspeakable pain to a part of our community already marginalised. Always stand shoulder to shoulder with the oppressed. Never the oppressor.

    Labour’s ‘green paper’ on VAWG starts at the wrong end of the problem. Longer sentences aren’t a deterrent when hardly anyone is convicted of serious crimes like rape. What needs addressing urgently is a broken criminal justice system that treats victims like perpetrators.
