Ok tumblr, having seen one of the most stupid, godawful election takes I expect to see this whole night - from a blog I usually trust for good takes! - I'm gonna try to steer clear for a bit. How easily people who are worried about trans rights under labour (who look to have the first elected trans candidate coming on the isle of wight!) forget the genuine fear of many jewish members under the previous leader, and the previous leader's continued dismissal of their fears.

#do i need to be explicit: i want a ceasefire i want a leftwing government i want trans rights #i also want actual vocal and meaningful support for ukraine not jezza's appeasement #i want someone who can talk to both sides in ni and tell both sides to grow up #i want someone who cares more about the party movement actually than his own cult of personality #i voted for jc as a member! i campaigned for him in 2017 and 2019 - and by 2019 we were NOT winning that support back #by far the majority of my trans friends are delighted by this victory #not least as i believe we'll have a government more likely to listen to pressure from trans and human rights groups on this #sigh #anyway #oh YEAH baby we are taxing private schools we are renationalising the railway we are NOT drilling the fuck out of the north sea #edit: lol no the greens fucked the labour candidate in iow east
