It’s been two years since I waived my media anonymity following my rape case. I was sick of hearing about that “promising young man” and not THIS promising young woman. HE was the “talented athlete” whose medical career was ruined, I was just “victim”… I needed to reclaim me.

To understand how superficial this Labour win is you only need to zoom out.

After 14 years in office, the Tories are truly spent. They have nothing to offer. Redolent of Blair’s win in 1997, a well-fed show pig would have won.

But party backers and strategists understand the importance of breaks in power that allow for party consolidation and reinvention — but only provided that power doesn’t fall to candidates that will challenge the status quo during those breaks.

The Tories were going to eventually lose — this is the perfect time, for them, to do so.

In practice, the Tories handing the reins to a Labour Party that broadly supports all the same policies is a win for those the Tories represent — the ruling class. They know that eventually us plebs have to see a term or two under a different government to appease us, but they know Starmer won’t challenge their wealth and power and privilege during this period.

In fact, they’re so chuffed that Starmer is their man, versus someone like Corbyn who’d have taxed the shit out of them to help reduce inequality, that they’re out in their droves supporting him.

And so it goes: the veneer of democracy is upheld while nothing material will change.

So, no, this is not a win for the common person; on the contrary, it’s a win for those who oppress us. And anyone celebrating this is a useful idiot, naively greasing the wheels of our shared exploitation.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

All the odds were stacked against Jeremy Corbyn.

He’s one of the only independents to win a competitive election in a general election since World War II.

He started his campaign late because of loyalty to his old party.

His constituency has a huge turnover.

Labour threw everything at this seat.

He suffered a relentless smear campaign.

He won against huge odds, and his team should be unbelievably proud of what they achieved.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

6 weeks ago, we had nothing.

Look at what we built, together.

I couldn’t be prouder to have campaigned alongside each and every one of you — for equality, peace and hope.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Literally what the fuck is a women only space anyway? Has anyone ever been to one? I’ve had male gynaecologists, I went to an all girls school and had several male teachers. Male cleaners have cleaned women’s public toilets whilst I was there - what the fk are they referring to?
