    Corbyn’s interview a few weeks ago called out vilifying of Trans folk and made clear they should feel safe from discrimination to live their lives.

    Yes there is one MP that has slightly different views but still made clear there should be safe spaces. Let’s not make perfect be the enemy of good as I don’t think any party has every MP with the same view on trans people and all issues close to our heart. I’m pretty confident Your Party will have a progressive view on Trans rights.

    Politics is like bus routes. You’ll never find anything that goes exactly to your door, so you pick the one that gets you closest so you can walk the rest of the way.

      To extend your analogy.

      Corbin is promising to run a bus route that will maybe go in the vague approximate direction of where you live. But for some reason it’s refusing to publish a route map.

      Until they have their conference they haven’t set out any kind of road map.

        Yes, because he’s a democrat. He can hardly set out positions without agreement.

        He’ll not open the bus route without consulting the people to see if that is the optimal route, or seeing that there are enough drivers available to cover the routes.

        The funny thing is, people blast Keir for being an autocrat and not listening to folk and then unironically bash a democratic approach because they’re hoping for someone to tell them what to do.
