Labour's Big Offer - Fudge! (June 13, 2024)

I've been to more trade union and Labour conferences than I care to remember and the oldest trick in the book is to make policy via 'composite motions' which face in opposite directions at the same time.   

Take conversion therapy - Labour says it will ban the practice while protecting the freedom for people to explore their sexual orientation and gender identity.

But what does this actually mean?

The Cass Review makes clear that the enemy in this field is 'gender affirming care' which the trans lobby has ruthlessly promoted for years despite the obvious harm done to young people struggling with their sexual identity.

What Labour is offering is fudge not leadership - so expect more of the same when it comes to Labour facing up to the nonsense of self-ID and men declaring they have magically transformed themselves into women.
