  We’ve met Ben Bradshaw previously (https://www.butterfliesandwheels.org/2023/or-else-2/), in fact he is mentioned several times in the pages of this site.

  Oh god – he’s that guy.

  Rosie Duffield:

  I have lived through an abusive relationship and have spoken about it in Parliament. I was reminded of making that speech earlier this week — the daily trauma that inspired it, how hard it was to make and, afterwards, the overwhelming support of my colleagues. That was the Labour Party I joined.

  On Tuesday, when two of those colleagues traded that sympathy for aggression, shouting down women in the Chamber, it felt like a very different Labour Party. I was defending the need to protect vulnerable women in single-sex spaces, and had just criticised Scotland’s Gender Reform Bill, when Ben Bradshaw yelled his disapproval at me.

  Thank you for finding it.

  I blame his name for my not remembering him. Too like too many other names – Malcolm Bradbury, Ben Bradlee, Bradshaw the railway guide, etc.
