So Labour is right-wing. TERF-island wants to keep its title.

I was going to say the love bombing didn't last long, but actually, this is still part of it isn't it, it's an appeal directly to New Labour's target audience, no matter how much they might deny it.

The warnings were all there, those who chose to ignore them (and gaslight those of us who wouldn't) were telling us loud and clear - they either don't care about the marginalised groups that continue to be targeted (not to derail, but disability benefits for example are getting a similar "continue where the Tories left off" treatment), or they outright support the targeting. Either way, they are no allies of mine.

And it's not like they'll stop there; this is just the first step.

If nothing else it's a bold move of Labour to be so openly in favour child self-harm 🤷‍♀️ It's not a policy anyone decent would support, but bold of them nonetheless
