He can't even bring himself to address her directly or even mention her name, the last time I looked.  The apology wasn't an apology to her; it was an apology for having posted those words on Twitter.

Labour peer who branded candidate ‘frit or lazy’ loses whip

 

Quote

 

On Friday, Ms Duffield confirmed she would not be attending local hustings in Canterbury, saying “constant trolling, spite and misrepresentation” from some was now affecting her “sense of security and wellbeing”.

 

However, in response to a BBC article on Ms Duffield’s decision, Lord Cashman wrote on X, formerly Twitter: “Frit. Or lazy.” In another post, he said: “She should do the decent thing and stand down if she won’t face her constituents.”

 

Last month, a man was given two eight-week prison sentences, suspended for two years, for sending a death threat to Ms Duffield and the author JK Rowling, who share gender-critical views.

Well, I highly doubt he would appreciate being called an idiot and I don't think the conservatives are trying to get him onside.

 

Do you think Mick Lynch is an idiot?

Indeed, but it wasn't just Conservatives or right wing that voted for it.

If that were true, it would at least show a bit of honesty.
