Allies of Keir Starmer claim he has the backing of Labour’s grassroots over his stance on sex- and gender-based rights after a new poll of members suggested they support the party’s updated position on the issue.
The party shifted its stance in the summer, abandoning its support for self-identification – which would allow people to legally change gender without a medical diagnosis. It announced the move alongside support for making the process of obtaining a gender recognition certificate far simpler and less invasive, as well as continuing to ensure some single-sex services and places could only be accessed by biological women.
While the issue remains a controversial one within the party, Labour Together, a group closely associated with Starmer, said a new YouGov poll of Labour members it commissioned showed broad support for the leadership’s new line.
when the tory voters all go back to the tories and the media turns on starmer once he’s in power, what is he going to do after he got rid of anyone even remotely left in labour?
if he even gets a majority next election, i’d wager his government lasts less than a year before it collapses at which point the blue tories will get back in and be even more draconian and right wing
