Talk:Kim Leadbeater

Birth date
A source says she was aged 44 on 28 June 2021, but that does not mean she was born in 1977. We don't know whether she has had this year's birthday, so was born 1977, or will turn 45 later this year, in which case 1976. Do not add an exact year of birth until we have a source for an exact year of birth. Thanks. Pam D  07:27, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

Lesbian
Leadbeater is openly gay. This should be mentioned as Batley and Spen has a very large Muslim population. (86.151.111.224 (talk) 10:15, 2 July 2021 (UTC))


 * Can you elaborate on what exactly you mean? Brumafriend (talk) 01:45, 3 July 2021 (UTC)


 * 8,000 Muslims voted for George Galloway. Labour has been losing the Muslim vote for a long time: https://english.alaraby.co.uk/opinion/labour-won-batley-and-spen-its-losing-muslim-vote (86.151.111.237 (talk) 14:07, 3 July 2021 (UTC))


 * That information seems more relevant to the by-election, or constituency generally, than to Kim Leadbeater herself. In fact, the 2021 Batley and Spen by-election page already contains a section that covers it. In any case, her sexuality is implied by the reference to her female partner.

By-election headlines
Do some of the by-election headlines (this was widely reported to be one of, if not the, most toxic by-elections ever) deserve a place on this article? Leadbeater alleges. harassment over LGBT issues and there is an investigation into physical assault of her campaigners by rivals. And I'm not sure if this is the work of Leadbeater, her constituency party or Labour HQ itself, but her campaign was criticised for allegedly sowing Pakistani-Indian division with this leaflet. I think there is the most argument to include the alleged harassment by the man from Birmingham, as that undoubtedly targeted to Leadbeater herself. Unknown Temptation (talk) 19:18, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
