I'd never heard of her before today (there are 650 MPs after all) but the party she represents, Labour, has been the 'woke' party for some time now. They recently elected a new party leader who might be seen as a little less leftist than his predecessor, Jeremy Corbyn, who was the closest thing Britain had to a Bernie Sanders.

I gather that many British people are opposed to making it easier to transition and have generally sensible views on this gender woowoo. Or few people actually understand what's going on but when the Gender Ideologues wrap it in a veneer of 'human rights' nobody wants to be opposed to human rights.

It will be interesting to see what the Labour leader does, if anything. In the most extreme case he can 'withdraw the whip' and kick her out of the party, but I gather that only happens when you've seriously fucked up. If that is the case, I'll definitely write to my (Labour) MP to ask him what the hell?

Labour is the opposition party at the moment, and there hasn't been a Labour government for 10 years now. In the most recent general election they lost a lot of seats to the Conservatives, I think because so many lifelong Labour voters felt that Jeremy Corbyn, who represents a very wealthy constituency in north London was out of touch with 'normal' Labour voters, who, traditionally, were working class people and the party had close ties with the trade union movement.
