Our thanks to Jeff for this. An extract:
“Labour introduced All Women Shortlists to British politics under Tony Blair, but in recent years they fell into abeyance as the party gained more female MPs. In the 2024 general election, Labour didn’t use any All Women Shortlists because by the end of the last parliament, the Parliamentary Labour Party was majority women. [J4MB emphasis: So where were the All Men Shortlists?] Since the landslide result at the general election, that has changed. The PLP is now 54 per cent male to 46 per cent female. If a female MP stands down, creating a vacancy, it would be almost inconceivable for the party not to select a female candidate to replace them, an NEC source claimed.”

Justice for Men & Boys 
Tee hee hee. I suppose the consolation for living with Labour “in power” is the car crash that it is, is now fully on show.
