Thread Name: BS: Sexual impropriety at Westminster
Subject: RE: BS: Sexual impropriety at Westminster
Dave,
You say other parties do not have the problem,

Another made up slur. Of course they do, but I suspect Labour has a much more serious problem than any other.

Unlike you Dave, I substantiate my views.


Jeremy Corbyn has been accused by nearly half the female MPs in his party of failing to stop the "disgusting and totally unacceptable" abuse of women by his supporters.
In a letter to the Labour leader, 45 female MPs say his response to the intimidation has been “inadequate” and tell him: “Jeremy, this is being done in your name.”

There has been no such outcry in any other party, and there would have been.

Now we have LabourToo, which is an internal Labour Party pressure group seeking to highlight and combat sexual assaults and discrimination within the party.

Their report has revealed Labour women have been raped, groped and harassed by men within their own party - with one MP alleged to have preyed on a drunken teenager.

They asked politicians, staff, activists and candidates from across the country to share their stories anonymously to create a detailed picture of the extend of the problem.

Their “shocking and distressing” findings, collated over a two-month period late last year, have now been collated and sent to the party’s London headquarters, where senior officials are under pressure to take action.

No other party's women have made such an outcry, and I am sure they would if subjected to the same provocation.
