If it’s Jess Phillips I’m going to go literally yeet my phone. Jess Phillips who lied about Phoenix Netts’ killer being a trans woman, kickstarting an ongoing conspiracy theory, and then never acknowledging the error, let alone apologising for it.
It’s possible, by the way. So is Duffield. We know Labour are desperate to appease JK Rowling, unapologetic bigot, bully, and denier of Nazi crimes. She’s just one person, compared to hundreds of thousands of British trans people, but fuck the lot of us right. To Labour, we’re worthless.
Best case scenario is we get Dawn Butler. She has ministerial experience, and ordinarily that would give her an edge. But it’s extremely unlikely. It’s an appointment that would greatly displease JK Rowling, whose opinion is very important apparently.
Nadia Whittome would also be a great choice. But, then again, Starmer already sacked her once for voting against the bill to make it harder to prosecute British soldiers for war crimes.
