Corbyn will not start saying who should/not be in the party, it is not his way.
I have criticisms of his time in leadership of the LP and many were around appeasement/tolerance of those he fundamentally disagreed with.
But I did not nor do I now doubt his commitment to human rights for all.

transphobes (and landlords too) leave or be barred from membership. Until that point I suspect Corbyn will not act like a De Facto leader but wait for the membership to democratically decide.
And let’s be realistic, the membership will be virtually unanimous on this matter.

He clearly doesn’t agree with it either.
He is well documented for saying he is a democrat and stands by the will of the membership. He did this (against his own views) when leader of the LP.
I am certain YP will enshrine Trans Rights within its constitution and hopefully this will see the

Perhaps you have not looked too much into this person before posting ?

Not sure why there is so much passive aggression here.
If you tried to take my words at face value it would really help with debate.
If you want to have a more tetchy exchange try a right wing bigot on for size eh.

Gene O’Sullivan @geneos.bsky.social · 46m

He has shared a stage many times with people that he fundamentally disagrees with.
The kind of criticism you use here was used by the right wing media, the Tories and the Red Tories to in regard ”terrorists”.

With a cursory look I have seen many sources quoting Corbyn on trans rights going back a decade.
Do you believe he is anti-trans rights ?
If so could you state why you believe this ?
These are genuine questions.

I have asked a question (not of you lest we forget) that is a straight forward and needs no further explanation to answer it.

If you are unsure (and it appears you are) if a horse has kicked you in the head it could easily be the case that one has.

For myself I am certain Ihave not been.

Gene O’Sullivan @geneos.bsky.social · 1h

That seems to be so but it doesn’t answer my question.

Genuine question:
Why do you say this ?

Corbyn was asked about trans rights and he replied ’Trans‘ rights are human rights’

What he not saying is that his friends and cronies invested a fortune in Argentina since their guy Milei won, they stand to lose a big chunk of those fortunes the way things are going, and Argentina’s elections are in two weeks and we are tampering in them to bail Milei out.

Huge explosions were seen as Israeli air attacks hit a town in south Lebanon, killing at least one person and injuring at least seven others.

The strikes targeted a site that sold excavators and other heavy machinery.

Here is the 'oppressed' María Corina Machado, who managed to be elected for 20 years despite elections being 'fixed' asking President Hugo Chavez a 'question' which is all lies.

Chavez only nationalised Farming/Mining/Manufacturing owned by foreign companies.

"Why aren't the Free Palestine people cheering about the ceasefire?"

If you saw a man beating a child into a coma, would you cheer after the beating stopped? No, your first reaction would be horror at what happened and your second would be fear that he'll attack the kid again.

The foreign secretary says the UK has been contributing to the peace process.

No. What the UK govt has been contributing to is the extermination of the Palestinian people.
