The Labour Party Has a Woman Problem

by Nick Dixon
21 January 2023 1:00 PM

Rosie Duffield has written an incredibly damning piece for UnHerd on Labour’s problem with women, particularly of the gender critical hue, following Labour MP Lloyd Russell-Moyle’s unhinged rant in the House of Commons. Here’s an excerpt:

I was defending the need to protect vulnerable women in single-sex spaces, and had just criticised Scotland’s Gender Reform Bill, when Ben Bradshaw yelled his disapproval at me. Sitting nearby, Lloyd Russell-Moyle went puce — perhaps less surprising — and started to heckle every woman who spoke of their similar concerns. Later, when Miriam Cates, a Conservative MP and friend, spoke of her concerns around safeguarding, he accused her of being a bigot before crossing over to the Tory side of the Chamber to sit on the side benches, very close to her, staring as if to intimidate her.

“I recognise that I failed to control [my] passion,” was how he later ‘apologised’. In other words, he had done nothing wrong. It wasn’t his fault; it was ours for daring to disagree with him. “Look what you made me do,” as my ex-partner would say when I had caused him to explode — perhaps by doing or wearing something he didn’t entirely like or voicing an opinion he didn’t want to hear.

After Tuesday’s outburst, came the silence. Not from Russell-Moyle, but from Keir Starmer’s office. It’s a cycle I’ve come to know well. First, speak up in defence of women’s sex-based rights. And then, face the consequences. Alone.

Worth reading in full.

    Kayak has a searcheable website that shows the most updated status of entry restriction from all destinations to all destinations. The C19 test from UK to India appears to have been lifted on November 22, hence the delay in updating the airlines. Airline staff are usually the last to know. https://www.kayak.com/travel-restrictions?origin=AU

    It’s shocking and disgraceful that the USA is together with Azerbaijan, Pakistan, Angola, Ghana and Libya, in not allowing the unvaccinated to visit. Even China allows unvaccinated travellers in some cases.

    Did you look at other airlines flying to India?
    My hunch is that Air India will be the last to implement changes but will be more likely to respond rapidly to someone stating ‘Airlines A, B, C, your competitors, don’t require this, why do you?’ than just referring to a change in New Delhi’s regulations.

    I can confirm that, although Cambodi
    a states you don’t need to be vaccinared to travel there, getting a Cambodian e-visa still required the UK NHS ‘proof’, a couple of weeks ago. And required masks on incoming (and outgoing) flights. No tests. But Singapore Airlines seemed content with chin warmers although stewardesses continue to wear them. Inside Cambodia, mask wearers are scarce. Maybe this will help someone.

    The only way around this is for people to blacklist all airlines and countries that insist on these tests.
