In 2000, Scottish Labour MSPs faced down homophobia in the press, led by @dailyrecord.co.uk, to push through the repeal of Section 28 against public opinion.

In 2025, Labour MSP @joanireid.com writes explicit transphobia in @dailyrecord.co.uk to appease public opinion.

Shame on Scottish Labour.

Sorry, yep.

Some mps spines are made of paper mache it seems

MP, not MSP, sorry. The effect is entirely the same.

Bring back condemnation of bigotry.

Is it worth complaining to the Labour Party? This MP has a duty to represent ALL her constituents including trans people (and their families). Never seems to elicit the slightest response but misgendering in such a purposeful way is sheer bigotry and she’s not fit to do her job!

I mean me complaining. When I have before, there’s literally silence.

Worth a shot but I suspect you won't get much back.

I’m extremely concerned for TNBI people in her constituency. How can this be ok for an MP to speak in this way? How is there no recourse re ethics etc

Thank you. I know how hard you've worked to keep your party on the right track and in touch with the principles of inclusion and fairness that it once championed. I'm sorry that it has let you down.
