For actively opposing the actions of this government? Sounds like where you're standing is the land of make believe.

Duncan used to be ‘nice but mistaken’ for being part of labour. Now he’s just another labour stooge

What’s strange is he’s queer like us but keeps genuflecting at the altar of st Keir

Well there you go. He used to say he could do good in labour but not for queer people, not any longer.

You have no idea what I can do, what I am doing, or indeed anything about me. You're just posing for likes.

Also i’m not posing for likes, I’m exposing your hypocrisy I had some respect for you before but this exchange on Gaza is bullish even for you. Add to that your defence of a party instituting the withdrawal of human rights from trans people and that respect is gone.

Except I implacably oppose both of these things. You just disagree with how I do it.

By being an activist for the party doing it? Frankly, i’d rather you did nothing

I'm familiar with your view. You're not infallible. I disagree. I think arguing from within the party is not just effective but necessary. There are many people in Labour who agree with me, and visible party groupings taking forward concrete action like selecting pro trans rights candidates.
