I probably won't comment much in this thread, because it is, according to the title, about the Labour Party, not the wider issues, and by and large it is those wider issues that matter more to me.

For example, my daughter has joined the Women's Equality Party. This party is, to the best of my knowledge, unique in the UK because they are perfectly happy for you to be a member of another party as well. While they would love to see themselves with an MP, they think their primarily role is a sort of lobby group, and if another party wants to steal their ideas, great.

So they have written this response to the mini budget. If Labour or the Conservatives even formulate a sensible rejection of these ideas, they will be happy that a dialogue has at least started.

And I agree: Labour needs to be talking to them, and the Greens, and others with well thought areas of concern. Not obsessing over internal matters.
