@AngelaRayner @RLong_Bailey I’ve just rejoined Labour. I’m from a northern working-class background. I’ve worked in specialist services for women subjected to men’s violence violence for 30yrs. I believe women’s sex based rights & protections matter. Do you want me expelled?
@AngelaRayner @RLong_Bailey I'm also proud to be part of @Womans_Place_UK. Here's a speech I gave last month at Holyrood last month on the importance of women only spaces and services for women and girls who've been subjected to men's violence #expelme kareningalasmith.wordpress.com/2020/01/20/the…
@AngelaRayner @RLong_Bailey @Womans_Place_UK I gave oral evidence to the Women and Equalities Committee on the application of single sex exemptions last year. Link here parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/0d… #ExpelMe
@AngelaRayner @RLong_Bailey @Womans_Place_UK Since 2016, on International Women's Day since 2016 your sister party MP @jessphillips has read out the names of all UK women killed by men since the previous IWD. Thus ensuring their names are recorded in Hansard. She could not do this without my work. #ExpelMe
@AngelaRayner @RLong_Bailey @Womans_Place_UK @jessphillips Recording names and commemorating women will never bring them back. But ask a grieving family member if it matters that their loved one's name is spoken in parliament. #ExpelMe
@AngelaRayner @RLong_Bailey @Womans_Place_UK @jessphillips Since I started commemorating women killed by men @countdeadwomen I've recorded names of 1,137 women killed 2012-2019. I haven't added 9 killed in 2020 yet. Here I explain why my list is women only and why I don't include trans identified males wp.me/p3jI2H-Bt #ExpelMe
I spoke on a panel at @Womans_Place_UK #WomansLib2020 about what needs to happen to end men’s violence against women. I said I didn’t think there was the will. I didn’t say that prospective Labour leaders won’t even define woman. I should have. #ExpelMe
