This is the problem with a party that's partly spun out of the pro-Gaza protest movement: it caters heavily to a socially/sexually conservative Muslim vote in key areas. I don't like social conservatives of *any* religious flavour.

Fair point. Who’s your preferred nomination?

As I said elsewhere in the thread, I think, in terms of current Labour MPs, Ed Miliband & Clive Lewis are more positive. I'm v interested in the Greens, though, if Zack Polanski wins. We need someone who will take the fight to the enemy, not enable them.

Agree totally with your suggestions of Clive Lewis or Zack Polanski. Both excellent. On my list of brilliant people. Pleased that people are starting to think about the possibility of life beyond the bleak Farage, Badenoch, Starmer doom scenario. Action now urgent! ‼️

Have been thinking abt it for a long time. I cut up my Labour membership card when they voted for A50. I used my Unison affiliation to vote for Starmer as leader bcos of his Remain credentials, only to be betrayed. I haven't voted Labour since he became leader (LD or Green).

My local Labour MP is v much 'party line' & also makes terf-y noises.

Agree about Starmer and remain and therefore the betrayal.

Yes. He completely betrayed us Remain/Rejoiners. Calling fascists & the fascism-curious 'hero voters'. Have been treated as a non-person by all govts since 2016. We marched in huge numbers pre-Covid, but somehow we don't matter.

I grew up with a mother who was slowly outgrowing the legacy of a pre-Vatican2 RC education. Too slowly for me.
