Richard Burgon's Peace Pledge would be is impractical. But of all the candidates for Leader or Deputy Leader of the Labour Party, only he has refused to submit, both to the Board of Deputies, which is at least a real body, and to the "Labour Campaign for Trans Rights", which is a Twitter account with no other identifiable existence. Only he, therefore, is worthy or a vote for either position.
That Labour has so much trouble over gender self-identification is because it has any internal dissent from the proposal. The party that is going to legislate for it appears to have none whatever. If anyone on that side votes against it, then it will be a handful of traditional Catholics and Evangelical Protestants, neither of whose positions has ever been part of the Tory mainstream, or ever will be.
I will be standing for Parliament again here at North West Durham next time, so please give generously. In any event, please email davidaslindsay@hotmail.com. Very many thanks.
