WE are really concerned about the project @ManduReid & @WEP_UK are now involved in.

Right2Equality do not have a grasp of #VAWG sector principles nor #maleviolence.
Moreover none of the key names have the requisite experience to be campaigning on law not its consequences in this area.
Proudman has little history in this field beyond those curling self promotion on tiktok.

Here she is on day time TV bragging about how she advises male abusers to use ‘parental alienation’ to gain access to their ex & children.

At best a contrarian.

Given both Charlotte & Jolyon’s predisposition to self promotion what is it they want from WEP?

With all the best will in the world Mandu herself would not pretend to be a VAWG expert.

But she has restructured the Party to give disproportionate power to a small handful..
.. and three paid appointed deputies, so how long will it be until Proudman or Jolyon are sitting pretty at the top of our Party?
And it’s not a shocking concept. Jamie Wallis, a previous pimp with a claimed trans identity (that appeared at the same moment he required a defence for a hit and run drink driving incident) is now sitting on WESC….

@ManduReid says ‘we wouldn’t say the process of voting in self ID as undemocratic had we won’

No. We have been critiquing the process for 4yrs

We didn’t win BECAUSE IT WAS UNDEMOCRATIC & so many women have left.

Only 110 members for a leaders speech tells that story.
Mandu’s failure to facilitate robust evidence based discussions means we are in the laughable position that the Party thinks we can have self ID & protect single-sex spaces.

A fact the UN VAWG rapporteur pointed out in her letter to Nicola Sturgeon last week.
We have several tweet threads on this:

Well this is awkward……

The Women’s Equality Party want your $$$$$$$$$$$$$ (again)

A thread……

Stared 7 years ago, women flocked. Women gave their time & any money they had. Some donors £50k+ many giving the little they could afford

Those naive enough to believe Party spin may be *shocked to discover the Party has no money, but for feminist women this is no shock at all
Since 2018 central office has been pushing for self ID. Consequently it has shed active committed members at an eye watering rate.

We digress.

Why has this crowd funder been launched after the conference & what does it tell us about WEP?

🧵 Today @ManduReid gave her key note Conference speech to a staggering 110 people.

This must be a record for the smallest conference speech ever.

It is with profound pain that we tweet this.
A speech high in emotion & platitudes, low in content.

Huge claims, included ‘bringing down Borris’s government. Yes really.

Since last conference, full of promise around donut economy, Black maternal deaths & more have amounted to nothing.

No campaigns. Zero.
This conference *should have been a vibrant conference celebrating campaign gains- celebrating how motions on paper are transformed into real change.

It could have been a diverse dynamic hub of women recruited during the campaign process….

@ManduReid's leadership has will sadly become knownfor dismissing expertise & the majority view of Party members on self ID.

The Party's assembly was clear in its support of single-sex spaces, yet #wep #groundhogday brings back the same tired motion that was rejected previously
@ManduReid This week Reem Alsalem, the UN #VAWG rapporteur wrote to Hollyrood to intervene on similar self ID policies (#GRRBill).

It is unacceptable to WEP party members that her voice, alongside ours, should be dismissed.
@WEP_UK #IDEVAW2022 #16DaysofActivism

The Party bought a self ID motion that was rejected until the membership was consulted (thank you Sophie Walker).

The Party stalled for years, and when a version of a consultation was conducted it rejected self ID.

Whew! This is Sarah taking over the tweets from our wonderful A. She has done a grand job launching #RespectMySex and speaking to @WEP_UK candidates. Unfortunately, this has also filled our mentions with some grim content... (1/7)
I just want to say thank you to all our feminist sisters slogging it out here in Twitter, it's not always an easy place to be. Nobody wants to be dealing with porn-soaked replies about sex toys whilst making the kids' lunch... (2/7)
Many of us are #VAWG survivors, of course, and being political and opinionated whilst being female is often enough reason to be targeted by rank misogyny. Sometimes even from other women... (3/7)

Hi Jane,

Can a woman have a penis?
Do you support women's sex-based rights?

Thank you
