1. Most of 🇬🇧 Labour believes that TM have right to live as men, so you can stop making assumptions about my "religion."

Glad to hear, bcs that was a farrago of half-truths and evasions.
Just one eg: afaics, purdah applies to Mins & civil servants, not CBI/ TUC etc. And the leaflet doesn't say "Don't vote Andrea Jenkyns,". Still, be kind and help your community, as she said.
