They discuss how this position could damage the party's reputation and support in the next election, elaborating on the effects this issue has had on the SNP in Scotland. Additionally, the tweets discuss how Labour needs to learn from the SNP and adjust their position accordingly in order to maintain a positive standing in the upcoming election.

| 1627263820325330944 | @mrianleslie It boggles my mind that Labour don't seem to be looking at what this issue has done to Nicola Sturgeon and adjusting their position accordingly. There are no votes to win from pushing this nonsense but a great many to lose. | 9 |
| 1625444542471356419 | @JohnRentoul @mrianleslie @xtophercook @ElectCalculus Anyone who says Labour rode to victory in 97 on the back of huge public enthusiasm is retrofitting Blair’s huge victory onto the campaign. As someone who canvassed for Labour in 97 I can tell you that people were moaning about lack of policy and about how Blair was an empty suit | 7 |
| 1627281224933728257 | @mrianleslie Before castration my male cat was male. Even after castration, according to the vet and pet insurance he is a neutered male. He is not a female cat. I have one of those too, who after being spayed has not become male Hope that helps @AngelaRayner | 5 |
| 1625438995344662529 | @mrianleslie @xtophercook I have taken it seriously, but I don't think it's likely: what chance Con do worse & Lab better than in 1997? https://t.co/kDG4kqVsnU | 4 |
| 1625441691145539585 | @mrianleslie @xtophercook 1. As Starmer repeatedly says, Lab starts from so much further back: 202 seats vs 271 2. Electoral geography is adverse for Lab: 1997 vote shares would give Lab 60 fewer seats (per @ElectCalculus, linked) 3. Enthusiasm for Lab is low wattage by comparison https://t.co/fhgc7aGCVD | 4 |

| 1625447437182566401 | @JohnRentoul @mrianleslie @xtophercook I have to say 'Of course the Tories won't get obliterated' has a slight whiff of 'Of course the UK won't vote to leave the EU' | 3 |
| 1625864710603120642 | 'She was condemning anyone who pointed out that there was a conflict of rights here... that is poisonous, it's toxic.'

| 1627280271417434115 | @mrianleslie "what's inside someone's head should determine their legal right to access female-only spaces". Please tell me that isn't verbatim from a senior member of the Shadow Cabinet? On what basis are we to determine the sincerity of what's in someone's head regarding their identity? | 72 |
| 1627281224933728257 | @mrianleslie Before castration my male cat was male. Even after castration, according to the vet and pet insurance he is a neutered male. He is not a female cat. I have one of those too, who after being spayed has not become male Hope that helps @AngelaRayner | 61 |
| 1627263915808927744 | @mrianleslie Labour doing their level best to make the next election competitive | 61 |
| 1627274287999582210 | @mrianleslie @SVPhillimore Angela Rayner knows exactly what this individual is | 50 |
| 1627267802301333507 | @mrianleslie @CorruptionSick Bryson cannot have been a woman since they were four. As a woman is an ADULT human female. Adult being the more definitive word there. A four year old is not an adult. You also have the issue that by legal definition you cannot rape if you do not have a penis in the UK. | 44 |
| 1627264825200893953 | @mrianleslie And this is why I've never been 100% convinced that Labour will form the next government. | 42 |
| 1627283888207716352 | @mrianleslie She knows. And she knows that we know she knows. But she can’t say it. And that means many of us won’t vote for her, on principle. | 39 |
| 1627269847271849990 | @mrianleslie So Rayner’s basic idea of gender trumps sex. She thinks what is inside someone’s head makes them a man or a woman. Has anyone asked her why? When did she start thinking this? What evidence does she have? | 38 |
| 1627271922009382912 | @mrianleslie This could do real damage to the Labour Party come the next general election. They need to sort themselves out. | 35 |
