On topic, the reason Labour members are shifting to Burnham is most likely the weekend More in Common poll with a Burnham led Labour Party 2% ahead of Reform. While Starmer led Labour are 3% behind ReformGood to see you posting @HYUFD

Re: A Bridget too far? – politicalbetting.com
Thanks also for the kind messages and prayers sent to me and my wife after the birth of our stillborn son a few days ago. To update we have been able to hold him, read to him, write a card of our love for him and have a few days with him at least. The hospital chaplain also gave him a blessing. We named him Theo.
He has now gone for a postmortem, which will take a few weeks but hopefully give us some answers as to why it happened, after which we will arrange a small funeral for him and bury his ashes

You're literally rewriting history. For a decade the left have been trying to cancel JKR, attempted to boycott her books, games and other media she's been responsible for, it was people like Watson who were revving those people up by denouncing Rowling. Now you're saying that it was Watson and Radcliffe being cancelled? Pull the other one. What's changed is that the left lost the argument on crossdressers and transvestites pretending to be women, that has been the turning point for the return of sanity and why it seems Watson has repented from those attempts to cancel JKR.In what seems like the most well trodden path for lefties who start to think for themselves, Emma Watson is getting absolutely blasted on bluecry by the "tolerant" and "open minded" people of the left. Being compared to Hitler, death threats, being called a fascist all because she decided that people are free to have their own opinions.Watson did not "shit all over" J K Rowling. She politely expressed a different view, and one which stupid people then said: "How DARE she disagree with someone who had something to do with her employment 20 years ago!!!! She OWES J K Rowling!!!"
That audience she sucked up to and cultivated by shitting all over JK Rowling has turned on her and you just love to see it. A taste of what she has been doing to people who she disagreed with for the last decade.
You can easily see it the other way from the way you put it, and that Watson decided to have her own opinions, and was shouted down by Rowling and others. I find it hard to see how you can say what Watson said recently was anything other than polite and considerate, and that Rowling's response was plain nasty.
As I said, I've got a wife and two daughters who don't have the same megaphone that JKR does to stand up to the TRA bullies, I will always be thankful that she used her voice to protect women's spaces. She deserves an apology from Watson and Radcliffe and I do hope that they begin to see after this backlash against Watson exactly what it is they encouraged and helped create with their denouncements of JKR.

Re: A Bridget too far? – politicalbetting.com
The best solution to the toilets issue is that transsexuals are granted the use of their newly-assigned gender's facilities post surgery, as I have said on many occasions. During their transition, they should be granted the use of disabled toilet facilities which are not communal by definition.I've never really got this narrative about toilets etc. Surely now trans men will have to use women's toilets. What's a woman supposed to do if she finds a person who looks like a man in the toilet? Demand that they drop their trousers to check if they are a trans man or a biological man? What's a trans man supposed to do when they are confronted or threatened every time they use a women's toilet? How will any of this make women feel any safer? How will trans women be kept safe in men's toilets? How is any of this anything other than a sideshow when most violence against women and girls is carried out by cis men and usually by someone they know?You're literally rewriting history.

One cannot change ones' biological sex. But if someone is in such distress at their own sex that they cannot live without altering it, society should do them the courtesy of maintaining a polite pretence. That doesn't apply to men who like wearing women's clothes but retain the distinguishing marks of their sex and enjoy the use of them.

I see Andy Burnham wants to join the EU.
What an idiot.
Doesn't he realise that only countries can join the EU?

There are plenty of people who are not obnoxious, but they're less noticeable.
Re: These are the figures of a tired ten year old government – politicalbetting.com
Without JK Rowling my wife and two daughters would be facing a lifetime of men intruding into their private spaces such as changing rooms and public bathrooms. I will forever be thankful for her fight on this policy and winning the debate so that politicians and the law are now settled that biological reality matters more than someone's perversions or mental illness.No, what's ridiculous is to be quite so invested in the opinions of a couple of celebs.This is ridiculous, after years of siding with and encouraging groups that called for JKR's death/rape/imprisonment she's just decided that actually people can have their own opinions. She hasn't asked Rowling for forgiveness or even offered an apology to her for attempting to cancel Rowling for the past decade for the temerity of having a different opinion.J K Rowling giving Watson and Radcliffe an absolutely shoeing. Hilarious. And righteously deservedI think it's tragic. You can view Emma Watson's latest statements as an attempt to mend bridges and Joanne Rowling has chosen to respond with a tirade full of bitterness.
Entitled pricks who turned on the writer that made them. Feck them
No, Rowling is absolutely right to spurn this rapprochement until Watson apologises for her behaviour and ingratitude towards the person who made her a millionaire. An apology for her previous attacks and behaviour would be a first step which clearly Watson is too arrogant to give.
