Fascinating time politically at the moment. As well as challenging times l agree. I have spoken to more #labour women in the last six months because @UKLabour discriminatory stance against women, i.e. Self ID of men to access women’s spaces. (1

These are elected members as well as ordinary members. I have had calls from ethnic women, bullied by ethnic men, white women bullied by gay/straight white men, ethnic men bullied by white/brown men etc (2

I am not a member of a political party. I am a floating voter. I have no dog in the fight apart from supporting the poors (my people). Yet they tell me stuff which is horrifying and not surprising. Stuff that would be illegal in other work places. (3

And boy the anger, the pain, the sadness, the despair, the frustration and the sheer hopelessness of it all, is tragic to witness because it is all so pathetic and unnecessary. This is why l predict the Labour party will disappear as the opposition. (4

In this century, if it continues down this road. I love my life now and would never go back into front line politics (famous last words 👀). But l love writing about it and am collecting stories & DMs are open.

Not just the self id stuff, the hypocrisy of covid, supporting Muslim gatekeepers and the baraadri system, utterly abuse African Caribbean voters/communities, brexit obsession, & mostly not having a clue what ordinary citizens feel or think. (6

I have long said this & still stand by it, if @Conservatives #onenation tories get back control of their party, red line on religious extremism, support small businesses, ordinary people, local communities, rural, town, city, they will rule for the majority of the 21st C (7

I follow the polls but understand they often are one reflection of a one-sided story, (Tradition Media). I follow people. I listen to ordinary people, not just privileged Londoners. We are a beautiful country & it is so much more than the capital. (8

Two examples. Manchester has a female city leader who believes men can identify as women if they choose to + access women’s spaces. Do you think they have told the voters of Manchester that for tomorrow’s crucial vote? Huge small c ethnic voters. Why not? (9

And finally look at Birmingham, my home city. A hotbed of extremists views where Muslim women are swaddled from males gazes & Labour politicians support sex segregation in a public park for Eid celebrations. You wouldn’t believe it, if it was fiction. (10

Where the Labour council have granted planning permission for a 800 male space, secondary school in the middle of one of the busiest traffic arteries in the city. Never mind the traffic chaos, the indoctrination will be felt wider than Brum’s radius (11

Tell me how these two completely opposing views, extreme sexist religious indoctrination, v a secular modern democracy will work? They won’t of course and politicians knows that. The fight of the 21st C will be extremism (religious) The party who tackles this, will win. (12

And yes l know the big issues of the day, defence, immigration, NHS, economy, competence etc factor in and matter. They are mind. ☝🏾is hearts. Hearts win elections. IMHO (13
