On Monday night, 100 women from the labour and trade union movement met in Brighton to discuss women's rights. An aggressive, intimidating protest tried to stop them speaking. Here is our statement #WPUKLab19 womansplaceuk.org/2019/09/26/a-w…
Police were there but their intervention was entirely inadequate. In fact, we feel they effectively facilitated the intimidation of the meeting. They did not create a sufficiently safe space for attendees to enter & exit the venue. We are submitting a formal complaint. #WPUKLab19
The organisers of @TWT_NOW posted on social media an encouragement to join the protest and repeated a slur which is entirely without foundation. Apparently, an organiser also encouraged people to attend the protest from TWT platform. We are writing to the organisers. #WPUKLab19
@TWT_NOW Several @UKLabour Party conference delegates subsequently made false accusations about Woman’s Place UK from the podium which went unchecked by the Chair. We absolutely refute the accusations which we believe to be defamatory. We are seeking legal advice. #WPUKLab19
@TWT_NOW @UKLabour On the other hand, we had a brilliant meeting (in spite of the banging on the windows throughout) and we have had hundreds of messages of support and concern. People are making complaints and contacting their MPs. They recognise a wrong when they see it. Thank you #WPUKLab19
