Recommended by Jo Swinson this morning to celebrate amazing Lib Dem women in the Party over the last 100 years. Top left is a particularly, erm, interesting choice.

The Conservatives sure get through a lot of beermats. I'm not sure I'd agree with the one that says 'Even Labour's better with the Conservatives' for those labouring in the waiting rooms Hmm

I think I do too, Betty. I'd also quite like to go shopping with this in my bit of Cambridge, just to see how long it took before someone said something (about 30 seconds, I suspect). You would have thought that the market for Ted Heath merchandise is pretty limited these days, but there's quite a lot of it on there. Have yet to see any Theresa May items, though...

I'd probably wear a T shirt that just had Shirley Williams on it. I wouldn't give money to the Lib Dems to wear it though.

BettyDuMonde · 26/11/2018 11:11

I actually want that.

FatherBuzzCagney · 26/11/2018 11:06

That's a terrifying John Major mug!

The conservative shop has one hundred and thirty one pages of utter shit to purchase!

Well of course not Melamin, she just a boring biological woman whose done nothing more than be successful at her job. So much less worthy than a brave and stunning failure.

Melanippe · 26/11/2018 10:46

Goodness Chatty there's some real treats on the Tory shop!

Empire!

Melamin · 26/11/2018 10:03

We have a liberal democrat councillor here. Not only has she worked very hard for many years, up against the almost total tory majority, she still is a councillor, but I can't see her on that t-shirt anywhere?

LikeDust · 26/11/2018 09:53

Fuck TinyRick they've got 3 dudes in that T-shirt!

thejustine · 26/11/2018 00:45

Would rather shit in my hands and clap.

GrimDamnFanjo · 26/11/2018 00:12

Yet again my decision to leave the libdems after over 30 yrs and elected office is validated.

And apart from the obvious it's embarrassing to place Shirley Williams alongside some of the other women on there.

Is it this Sarah Brown:

That article is very interesting actually....

Looks like the worst episode of Blankety Blank ever.

ChattyLion · 25/11/2018 23:46

I had a quick look at the Tories’ online gift shop - Confused contains a lot of nostalgic ‘Daddy’s got a job!’ and ‘it’s a housewives’ budget!’ retro stuff etc Hmm

meanwhile the Labour shop has a bloke modelling a Jeremy Corbyn football scarf: shop.labour.org.uk/product/oh-jeremy-corbyn-scarf

Welsh you’re right Sad

Hopefully the feminist policies will follow?

On past showing I wouldn't hold your breath, ChattyLion.

FatherBuzzCagney · 25/11/2018 13:56

Really, what the fuck is Sarah Brown doing anywhere near that? Brown was a one-term councillor who couldn't hold onto or retake one of the most naturally pro-Lib Dem wards in one of the UK's most Lib Dem-friendly cities. In 2014, when standing for re-election, Brown's vote total dropped by more than 50% (720 votes against 1571 in 2010). Some of this was a reaction to the coalition but other Lib Dem councillors held on to Cambridge wards that year. And, of course, Brown has never managed to take the ward back despite huge Lib Dem effort: Ann Sinnott absolutely crushed Brown in May 2018. It's not really possible to be a less successful elected politican than Sarah Brown. So, what's the Lib Dem message here: we celebrate true political incompetence? It would certainly be consistent with their more general approach.

theOtherPamAyres · 25/11/2018 13:46

Have they run out of t-shirts featuring Jeremy Thorpe, Clement Freud, Cyril Smith and Mark Oaten?

ChattyLion · 25/11/2018 13:31

My mistake... they’ve got a whole suffragette collection.... t shirts for men with ‘feminist’ on. Hmm www.libdemimage.co.uk/products.php?category=Suffragette+Collection&page=1

Hopefully the feminist policies will follow?

welshbookworm · 24/11/2018 23:46

and it’s only made in women’s sizes

Nope, there are men's versions too in the LibDem online shop, so everyone can go round with a misogynist on their chest.

WSPU · 24/11/2018 20:52

Just hideous. Who votes for theses tools?

ChattyLion · 24/11/2018 20:36

Ugh. They’ve offensively appropriated the word woman, plus the women’s suffrage struggle (100 years reference and the purple white and green), and the slogan is bullshit when the Lib Dems have only been going since 1988... and it’s only made in women’s sizes. No Lib Dem men are expected to give a crap about their ‘amazing’ Hmm Lib Dem women, so that’s all right.

I think Sarah Brown chairs (?) Stonewall's Advisory Group.
Its an influential position.
