Remember this all started with an SNP stunt Labour as is their right tabled amendment The government joined in by tabling an amendment meaning three votes would take place Speaker decided all amendments would be heard Nasty debate followed Government withdrew their amendment

A personal 🧵- good news Some of you will remember I was diagnosed with Stage IV cancer of the tonsil bed, neck and tongue and without treatment I had 6-18 months to live but my consultant Mary Lei at @GSTTnhs said she believed it was curable but obviously no guarantees

And why ate women underrepresented at all levels in society It isn’t a choice It is a historic discrimination against women and their role in society It isn’t their choice it is all based on their sex That is all there is to it

So the next time anyone asks why women as a sex based class are important tell them, remind them - these aren’t ancient struggles for rights they are recent history and still go on

For me it goes way back and the ‘women’s right to choose’ It is about women having agency It is about women being equal Not told what that have to or should accept Women are at the heart of our movement and always should be As a man I learned that at an early age
