Has Reeves hit a new low- saying it's misogyny?

Have you ever watched parliament debates? They ALL sit around insulting and yelling at each other

Not the language to be used by the shadow cabinet against the government.

Oh and I just google it and found there’s more!

“It must be generally plausible that if having a baby out of wedlock meant sure-fire destitution on a Victorian scale, young girls might indeed think twice about having a baby.
And yet no government – and certainly no Labour government – will have the courage to make the cuts in the safety net of the viciousness required to provide anything like such a deterrent. For the reality, surely, is that nine times out of 10 these girls will go on having babies out of wedlock not because they want to qualify for some state hand-out, but because, in their monotonous and depressing lives, they want a little creature to love.”

but sure “scum” is a big deal

Calling her son an aggressive illegitimate badtard is very unbecoming. She obviously just made it political after boris Johnson’s (a Tory mp) rude comment

I dont vote labour but can’t say I blame her

Yes I would “scum” is hardly that bad
A word to the wise; it is that bad. Don't use it.

didnt boris Johnson say children of teen mums are aggressive bastards and she was responding to him seeing as she was a teen mum?
I've no idea about the BJ quote. I only know what Rayner said.
It was silly of her to use such intemperate language because, as ever, it's always the retaliation that people remember. And it doesn't exactly make her look good - she should listen to the 'when they go low, we go high' mantra.
I believe she was made to apologise for it.

Calling people scum is unbecoming. I met a Tory backbencher who is very close friends with a Labour backbencher. Angela Rayner was at the Labour backbencher's birthday party and asked him "oh god. Why did you invite the Tory MPs?"

She's deeply unpleasant.

Yes I would “scum” is hardly that bad considering mps yell and screech at each other every day in parliament. What boris Johnson said about aggressive illegitimate bastards is obviously far ruder. And she was just responding to that or should she just have let such a nasty comment stand about her son?

If another politician had called Rayner it would you say the same?

No but parliament is full of mps jeering and shouting at each other. “Scum” is hardly unusual

didnt boris Johnson say children of teen mums are aggressive bastards and she was responding to him seeing as she was a teen mum?

I think that’s much ruder than “scum” which is pretty vague and meaningless really

Er, no. Are you?
Do you go round calling people 'scum'?

Are you being sarcastic?

Scum is very tame
It is an appalling thing to say.

There is some misogyny, but she’s done fashion shoots which I doubt any male chancellor has done, or Maggie for that matter. Can’t fully say treat me like you do the booked when you bring femininity into the role yourself.

Have you ever spoken to a scottish woman who has been in prison?

The whole point is that they weren't "housed"!

The particular prisoner actually raised the issue of housing male prisoners, esp those with sexual offences, in the female estate. For the length of their sentences. Which Sturgeon supported.

But I love your 'supporting vulnerable women's rights makes you thick' jibe. So much empathy and enlightenment!

A Daily Express reader opines. It was 24 hours in isolation in cortonvale for the SPS to decide where to place them as per the UK Equality Act. They were moved the next morning to a men’s prison where they remain. Nicola Sturgeon had no part in any of the decisions as she doesn’t work for the Scottish Prison Service.

It was Grossly exaggerated and spun out of proportion, a complete witch hunt most likely caused by reeves leaking Rayners private business.
I mean why was the photo of her on a float in the sea vaping front page of the news for a week straight? And when she said “scum” in parliament? Big stinking deal they all sit around yelling and insulting each other in parliament. Scum is very tame

COVID and lockdown happened

Eat out to help out did help hospitality at the time. There was always going to be second wave and another lockdown. It was inevitable.

He did a lot with furlough and tried to support businesses during lockdown. Yes there was always going to be some fraud. But they did the schemes at rush to protect the economy.

As a banker he did what had to do to make money for clients. I think it's good he's a billionaire. It's mostly due to his father in law's wealth.

‘Wasn’t that bad’… is that the benchmark for a ‘great’ politician? How depressing.

Most individual Tory mps go into it wanting tax cuts doing speeches about it etc it’s part of their philosophy whereas labour politicians do the opposite lecturing us all on paying more tax.

But whatever it’s to be expected at this point.

Rayner was great and what she did wasn’t even that bad. There was a witch hunt I mean why in the lead up to her downfall every day there was an article in the news of her vaping on a float in the sea? Why of all the nice pictures use that one?

I’m not a fan, but the whole “Rachel from accounts” is incredibly misogynistic and does my head in.

AI says it started in the media and you can bet it wasn't started in the Mirror.
