More on that memorable Your Party conference, from Reduxx: A trans-identified male who previously faced allegations of sexual misconduct with minors appeared as a speaker at a conference for the UK’s newest left-wing party, using his platform to complain of “transphobia.” Eryn Browning had been suspended from the Scottish Greens and removed as a candidate…
