Labour is less interested in delivering justice for sexual harassment victims or accused than in managing its own reputation. 1/3 plus.google.com/s/john%20wrath…
This echoes Labour's approach to anti-semitism cases, viewing them as a reputational issue for it - with addressing and punishing anti-semitism being an adjunct. 2/3 thejc.com/news/uk-news/l…
Full disclosure: I know John Wrathmell personally. I do not make any comment on whether the underlying allegation is true but I have see the alarming transcript his blog post references. 3/3

Wrong on virtually every count.

And only one of us is a convicted criminal, an anti-semite, "Brocialist", deliberately hiding his funders, who has written for the UCL Conservative Newsletter, has a dodgy PhD, and thinks table salt is a chemical weapon.
That would be you, Bastani, you weapon. Meanwhile, put your socks on.
Is this true, @AaronBastani, did you leave the Labour Party because your chosen Blairite lost out in the Labour leadership to his brother? leninology.co.uk/2010/12/more-t…

There's a perfectly sensible case for a Party leader making policy from on high. But it's pretty grim watching smart folk on the Left demean themselves trying to pretend that's not what Corbyn is doing.
Question for all those folks insisting member-led democracy was served because delegates got to vote on a motion: why didn't they get to vote on whether Labour should commit to a referendum given how over 100 constituencies and at least three quarters of members wanted one?
It's a free country. Subscribe to whatever delusion makes you happy. Just don't expect anyone whose head is screwed on such that their nose and toes point in the same direction to join you in it.

Only 29% of judges in England and Wales are women. Fewer than 1% are "black or black British".
theguardian.com/law/2019/jan/0…
Of the 1,360 odd *salaried* (ie full-time, permanent) judges in England and Wales the number who are "black or black British" is 7. That's right, about half of one percent.

"Time's Up" has raised more than $22 million for victims, making it GoFundMe's biggest campaign ever.

But crowdfunding has also highlighted the financial toll rape and sexual harassment can take — and many fundraisers are not nearly as successful. buzzfeednews.com/article/jtes/g…
A search for “rape” on GoFundMe yields about 4,000 campaigns, while “sexual harassment” turns up nearly 500.

Many fundraisers have been created by the victims themselves, or in their names by loved ones.
Most famously, a campaign for Christine Blasey Ford raised $647,610 to help cover her family’s security, transportation, and temporary relocation costs — far more than the $150,000 goal, with leftover funds being donated to organizations helping survivors. buzzfeednews.com/article/remysm…

To all who have been circulating the letter written to the media that exposes the experienced systemic culture of #sexual harassment in @BFMradio, you need to stop and check the impact of your actions

(thread)
@BFMradio :: The letter is addressed to members of the media. Not to members of the public. Regardless of good intention, fwding the letter to those other than intended reader is to violate the writer’s agency. If you want to help, don't start by disregarding what the writer intends.
@BFMradio The writer is already aware of the high cost s/he may face for disclosing this. Exposing wrongful power practices - and sexual harassment is a form of wrongful practice of power - is always risky.

@SurvivorsnetBtn @RASASC_London @survivorstrust @Danvers07943910 @ObjectUK @BrightonSurvivorsNET “In the light of a highly disturbing increase of #transphobia locally & nationally…” IF everything anybody says or does is #transphobia, of course you can say it is rising. Any reputable statistics?
@SurvivorsnetBtn @RASASC_London @survivorstrust @Danvers07943910 @ObjectUK “…so the date @Womans_Place_UK event feels like a concerted effort to make #trans ppl, & particularly #transwomen, feel #intimidated and #invalidated” Is it the position of SN that the sensitivities of #transwomen mean that #democracy should be suspended any time they say so?
