Jeremy Corbyn just called Theresa May "stupid woman"

If you admit that trained lipreaders cannot reach a consensus, how can you say that it's "crystal clear what he says".

You undermine your own argument by being so partisan.

impossible yes that's right...

Didn’t May recall that Tory sex pest for the vote, the other day?

That was very...what’s the word...feminist of her.

I also think it pretty much sums up the state of this country when the government is starting to stockpile medicines because it's about to lead us into a national crisis, and the entire front bench and Tory backbenches are beside themselves with glee because the prime minister has said "Oh no, he isn't." How old are they? Six? It's absolutely shameful.

Agreed.

I have no one to vote for as the Greens were my back up party - and that went VERY badly wrong this year.

I initially thought it was woman, but I watched again with all the other sounds muted and I think he does say people.

However bad Corbyn's comment was - and I'm not in any way defending it - it's very tame compared to the absolute avalanche of misogynist shit being flung at Stella Creasey by Bromentum types on twitter for daring to say that Corbyn's language was inappropriate.

I completely agree with you Vickie - the Madigan fiasco, the invasion of TRAs on to AWS, his assertion on the Andrew Marr show that TWAW etc etc.

@starcrossedseahorse

Sick of experts, are you? 🤣

Yeah but she identifies as the leader of a strong and stable govt so despite all evidence to the contrary...

It was ‘stupid people’ and he wasn’t wrong

Retired and there are other lip readers all over twitter claiming the opposite. Tbh, no one needs a lip reader's opinion in any case - it is crystal clear what he says!

Before I watched the video, I practised mouthing "woman" and "people" so I could see what shape they made. Then I watched it. To my eyes, it looks very much like "people" - for the reasons outlined in Retired's screenshot.

I also think it pretty much sums up the state of this country when the government is starting to stockpile medicines because it's about to lead us into a national crisis, and the entire front bench and Tory backbenches are beside themselves with glee because the prime minister has said "Oh no, he isn't."

I dislike corbyn immensely but cmon, who are fucking us up now?

Clue: it’s not corbyn.

The ONLY way to stop them is by voting Labour.

Sorry, can't vote for any party that intends to erase the concept of woman.

I'm 60, I've voted Labour all my life and been a member until Corbyn threw his lot in with the TRAs (was a party member in London in the 80s when Corbyn was seen as a fucking joke by the left). I'd rather spoil my paper than endorse this shower of shite.

I don't know if he's a card carrying misogynist, I'm not in his head I couldn't possibly know that. What I do know is that when it comes right down to the wire HE doesn't care enough about Brexit, austerity or food banks to do the honourable thing and fess up to what he obviously said. Basically his own self image and desire to control what everyone else thinks of him is more important than those issues.

Then again I'm hardly suprised he's been MP for Islington North for 30 odd years which is one of the worst consituencies in the country for the housing crisis. He is actually when it comes down to it pretty incompetent himself...

Not the biggest Corbyn fan in the world, although a lifelong Labour voter,
so just leaving this here for others to see.

Great post scallop

The Tories are doing shitty things, really shitty things.

The ONLY way to stop them is by voting Labour. They are the only credible force to get shot of the Tories.

I also happen to think they have some decent policies in their own right, but that's not what we're talking about.

This is distraction politics and it's distraction politics being done as if we have a presidential system. People say they won't vote Labour because of this- that's crackers. What matters is how policies change the lives of ordinary people for better or worse.

Not in some theoretical sense but in real terms- food on the table, books in schools, live babies etc.

Losing the NHS is not hyperbole. Matt Hancock has recently personally endorsed Babylon, a company linked to the Hinchinbrooke disaster. That frightens me far more than JC mumbling something.

Junker can flip a woman's hair, Jeremy can call women stupid.....but they are forgiven for being 'lefty' luvvies.

Casual sexism never is a big deal is it. There will always be something more important to worry about. Honestly, women must understand their place in society.

And you know women are a bit stupid really. Especially that Theresa May. Who does she think she is? There she is representing the whole of womankind and she comes out with statements and opinions which just aren’t up to scratch. It’s because of women like her which that we were (and still are in many parts of the world) denied access to education and resources. It’s only the benevolence of left leaning folk like Corbyn that have had the graciousness to allow us to have opinions and thoughts of our own. We should be grateful really.

I’m hoping ManWhoHasItAll will be doing a take on this shortly to amplify why it is sexist and why it does matter.

Indeed. He certainly has form for misogyny on other issues.

If you're not a misogynist - don't act like one. And I have been around party politics long enough to know that you can worry about two or even more things at once. We are women- we can multi task!

I am not so sure that he is not a misogynist tbh.

Or more like some think JC is some sort of God that can never do wrong and if he does it is perfectly justifiable.

That's probably true, but I haven't seen many of those people on this thread, tbh.
