Exclusive: The LGBT wing of the Labour Party is actively considering withdrawing from all Pride events across the UK. I understand this is due to what how Labour is currently viewed in the LGBT community. Members don't feel comfortable marching as Labour.

And for anybody who has the gall to make an electoral strategy argument in support of this, how supportive are the public going to be come election-time of our Party's defence of a crank obsessed with ruining the lives of a vulnerable minority? This is wrong AND stupid.

Our thoughts and condolences are with the family and friends of Brianna Ghey. What has happened is heart-breaking beyond measure. The same repugnant media whose torrent of vile transphobia tried to deny her dignity in life will not succeed now. Rest in Peace Brianna.

With every transphobic attack, every snide comment, every step in this pointless culture war, there are victims and there are loved ones left behind. It takes some level of evil for a person to treat other human beings this cruelly. Without question, Rishi Sunak should resign.

Interesting in PMQs as Rishi Sunak launches into a pre-scripted jibe about Keir Starmer 'not knowing what a woman is', when Brianna Ghey's mother is in the Commons gallery. A clearly furious Starmer responds: "Of all the weeks to say that - shame. Parading as a man of integrity."

Tragically, the Party’s relationship with the LGBTQ+ community is under strain. After private overtures proved unsuccessful, we are now going public with our concerns: Labour’s leadership needs to get serious about tackling transphobia and standing up for trans rights.

Labour should not, in a million years, immediately agree to implement recommendations from a report that has had - at best - very little input from the actually existing trans community and LGBT+ organizations.

The time to be a passive observer is long since over. We're facing a war being waged against us with a never ending stream of media horrors and a government that delights in the notion of our suffering. There is no compromise to be found with people who want us to not exist.

Instead, the Leadership has consistently failed to stand up for trans rights. From endorsing transphobic talking points in interviews, to failing to take action against MPs who go out of their way to damage the LGBTQ+ community, we're being let down by Labour.

The only thing that should be taken from the report is the need for gender services in the UK to be radically overhauled - not recommendations drawn from limited studies that would put the health of trans kids and adults at risk.

On top of her previous comments on trans rights, of which there is a long and shameful public record - including calling gender transition “horrifying” - it’s more important than ever that the trans community can feel safe in Labour, and with a Labour government.

As UK Labour attempt to land themselves comfortably on the fence with the Gender Recognition Reform S35 order, a Scottish Labour source writes: "The long and short of it is the PLP (Parliamentary Labour Party) includes a load of transphobes and Starmer is terrified of them."

As recent days have evidenced, the Party has a lot of work to do to make amends with the trans community. Listen to @LGBTLabour , @YoungLabourUK and @LabourStudents . Remove the whip from Duffield. The situation isn’t viable - Labour is either safe for LGBTQ+ people, or it isn’t.

If this is true it's a disgrace. Absolutely heartbreaking to see the wrecking-job being done to the Party of progress and equality. Keir Starmer should not make an awful situation worse. Labour should stand with its members who overwhelmingly back trans-inclusive policies.

A Labour source tells me that the party is considering either voting for, or abstaining, on Tory plans to remove recognition of gender certificates from other countries. That means Labour is contemplating voting for, or abstaining on, stripping rights from trans people here.

While we all agree that GRA reform is necessary, it’s deeply disappointing that we’re still such a long way off from a fully demedicalised self-ID system adequate to the needs of the trans community. We’ll have more to say when the full NPF document is released.

Responsible politics isn't about doing what's easy. It’s about doing what's right. That's why Labour will act where the Conservatives have failed by modernising, reforming and simplifying the outdated gender recognition law. Here's how ⤵️ 🧵
