That video got me all teary, Radical. It is the start of something truly special and I couldn’t agree with you more. I felt privileged to be at Reformer’s Tree last Sunday to see you speak with that same passion, as you always do.

You were prescient, but it didn’t need a crystal ball to see that Starmer would point in opposite directions depending on who he was talking to. Now he has to deliver to his backbench trans-believers.

Agree but my point is that many ordinary women involved in these campaign groups have been gas-lit into thinking that only certain brainy ones had the ear of politicians, and the rest of us could go jump in a lake. Any piddly little gains they think they've achieved are already screeching to a halt and into reverse.

Yes, they thought that if they could moderate the justifiable demands from women who could see the big danger that a compromise would be obtainable. There isn’t one. You either draw a clear line against any male appropriation of women’s rights, or allow concessions which will permanently remove them.

I’m a member of Party of Women reduced to tactical voting. The only independent on my ballot paper is for the LGBTQ party; his hustings were cancelled as no other candidate showed up. It is an historic day, worthy of congratulations. We know we won’t win, except we already have, because this was about our voice being heard. Venue after venue cancelled Kellie-Jay Keen until she was driven to speaking on street corners and in parks, grass roots in every sense of the word. Now we are a political party, and finally, in Bristol, the voice of women in the rank and file was heard and Kellie-Jay Keen made the rest look like the jackasses they are.

Thank you RC for helping Kellie-Jay, and all of us.
