WhY aRe ThErE nO wOmEn In LaBoUr??

It’s not that Suzanne “yet another Grauniad transphobe” Moore is really thick enough to believe this, it’s that she and The Guardian think we are thick enough to believe this:

For the past few years, in every chat I have had with a senior Labour person, they have acknowledged that the party needs a female leader. The Tories have done it twice. Maybe the Lib Dems will appoint Jo Swinson. But Labour has a shortage of women, not on its benches but in its inner circle. This inner circle includes the same people who struggle to deal effectively with sexual harassment cases and antisemitism, so it’s understandable they would find it challenging to track down a woman – any woman! – with the intellectual depth and mental agility of the present leader.

You wouldn’t think from this the Labour Shadow Cabinet is gender balanced. No mention of Diane Abbott either, but then she’s a sore point for Moore, having stood against her and lost her deposit during the 2010 general elections. No mention either of any politics that might be of interest for somebody an alleged feminist, but then Moore’s brand of feminism is entirely driven by a jobs for the girls mentality rather than dealing with problems encountered in the world outside the Westminster bubble. It’s pathetic what The Guardian is reduced to in attempting to smear Corbyn and Labour.
