R to @RosieDuffield1: Clue: Nope
Honestly, if you're a Labour MP who's a long-term but totally secret Terf, and you're still making foolish ignorant statements about the EHRC code to save yourself, do you really think women who've you've watched being bullied by the LP over the years will keep yr secret forever?
