I was reading an article in the Spectator this morning. Interesting to hear what people think.

I want a PM that can define what a woman is. Considering most people on here are female , I’m surprised more don’t want the same.

Same.

Is it above or below But Jeremy Corbyn?

Also I think you may have confused Kier Starmer with Keir Starmer. It is possible they are different people.

He is dull but that comes very low in the list of why I won’t be voting for him.

Same.

This Kier Starmer ? Who’s tough on crime ?

You're going to have to try harder than that.

Do you believe in the rule of law @Paul2023 ?

I am very keen on women's sex based rights!

Me too, unfortunately I'm also keen on workers rights, Asylum seekers rights, the right to protest, basic Human Rights, my right to keep my house & put food on the table for my kids so I am unable to vote Tory and will take my chances with whichever MP is most likely to get my Current Conservative MP out!

Boring isn't the problem. I don't know what he stands for or if the Labour party know what biological sex is. Can't vote for a party who presided over decades and decades and decades of deprivation in some of our biggest cities.

A fair take on Sunak. Quite agree.

I’ve just signed up - all they ask for is your email address.

Edited to add that I can’t find anything about the poll of MPs on their website.

Unfortunately not. It was in one of their Newsletters. I tried to sign up to receive them but was unsuccessful. I think my postcode might have rendered me ineligible.

@TooBigForMyBoots

Conservatives For Women polled Tory MPs earlier this year and found that around 50% believed TWAW. I've no idea how much heavy lifting the word "around" is doing.
This is interesting - do you have a link or anything?

I would love a boring Prime Minister. Politics has certainly been interesting over the last few years, but at an absolutely horrendous cost to the country.

EasternStandard · 30/12/2023 15:37

The group of politicians, which also included Rosie Duffield…

Labour is not treating Duffield well.

LGBT+ Labour has been gunning for her for a while now

Unfortunately unlike Baroness Falkner who was also hounded she does not have a Kemi to step in

TooBigForMyBoots · 30/12/2023 15:24

I'll leave it up to the Labour supporters to defend the Labour Party.

Can you name anyone in any party you hope to bat on behalf of sex based rights?

You say you are keen on sex based rights for women so who are you relying on?

Kemi is one but obviously you want her out. Who else?

I am very keen on women's sex based rights

You probably skip over Kemi Badenoch’s commitment, someone actually batting on our behalf, as not Labour

So can you answer directly who will be challenging gender ideology from Labour?

I see it as more bullshit from the bullshit party who've wrecked women's rights and spin on a sixpence. I notice you've skipped over this. As you've skipped over the rape culture in the Party. And the TRAs in the party. Conservatives For Women polled Tory MPs earlier this year and found that around 50% believed TWAW. I've no idea how much heavy lifting the word "around" is doing.

The Tory Party is dangerous to women and our sex based rights.

SutWytTi · 30/12/2023 15:20

I guess you could see Rishi as the Kate Middleton of politics, which is interesting by anyone's standards. This is not a compliment Grin

I am very keen on women's sex based rights. Unlike the Tory party who have a terrifying rape culture, have spent the past 13 years ceding our rights to TRAs and making women's lives more difficult on multiple levels.
