For years the Labour Party has claimed to be the party of women and women’s rights, but last week this pretence came to a crashing halt when outgoing Chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, Baroness Falkner, went on the record saying Labour has “completely abandoned women’s rights”.

What took so long for the penny to drop? Labour leader Keir Starmer couldn’t even define what a woman was at the General Election, neither could his Labour female grandees Reeves, Rayner, Cooper or Phillipson. It was only Rosie Duffield, the then Labour MP for Canterbury, now an Independent, who could state the obvious, and for which she was hounded out of the Party – that a man can’t be a woman, and that biological sex matters.

Somewhat embarrassingly for Starmer, who never tires of reminding us of his legal background, the Supreme Court in April ruled that women and sex referred to biological and not acquired gender. And yet despite having this ruling, Labour’s Equality Minister Bridget Philipson is letting it gather dust on her desk rather than implement it.

But Labour’s woman problem goes much deeper than ignoring this Supreme Court ruling.

Labour continues to deny justice to the thousands of vulnerable white working-class girls who were systematically groomed and raped by predominantly Pakistani-origin Muslim men. 

It took another Baroness, Casey, back in June to tell him a national rape gang inquiry was needed but still silence, as Starmer and the Labour Party panders to its Muslim vote, pushing women’s rights below their desire to stay in office.

Labour also seeks to silence the brave Pink Ladies of Epping too – that or smear them as Far-right – as they seek to raise the issue of children’s safety as more and more illegal, unvetted, male immigrants are housed in their local area. For Starmer would sooner put his beloved European Convention on Human Rights and Blair’s Human Rights Act above the rights of young girls and women in Britain.

The list of betrayals of women is getting longer by the day under this Labour government.

The Sentencing Bill progressing through the House of Commons will see no prison sentences handed out for crimes that would otherwise have got a sentence of up to 12 months, meaning many criminal acts against women including coercion, domestic abuse and stalking will be reduced to a slap on the wrist.

The illegal immigrant sex offender Hadush Kebatu, who managed to walk out of prison, would never have even seen a prison cell under this new Sentence Bill.

And Lammy Dodger – is now attempting to abolish half of all Jury trails on the pretence it will be better for rape cases, when opening up courts more hours a week would be a much better response than trashing 800 years of justice, and deliver much swifter justice for victims of sexual assaults.

This Labour government doesn’t serve women and protect their rights, it serves itself and is finally being exposed for the self-serving, hypocritical party it is.
