Maria Miller on Twitter

nice to see Sophie Walker getting a pasting for that fucking awful webchat she did here

where she explained that the unfathomable process of becoming a woman means we can't have any sex based protections

I think she's come a long way since then, but she's still got a lot of fucking ground to make up

here's the webchat if anyone's interested (back when politicians actually talked to us - looking at you Penny)

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/mumsnet_live_events/2617026-Webchat-with-Sophie-Walker-leader-of-the-Womens-Equality-Party-and-London-Mayor-candidate-Tuesday-19-April-at-noon

Told what to say, what to do and what to think.

A big hand to the people leading us!

Jess Phillips was on that committee?

It won't be the first time Phillips has been lukewarm in standing up for women:

This was a well deserved pasting. MM utterly morally bankrupt.

From reading the minutes of the enquiry, it is very clear that those other MPs had no clue about transgenderism or any of its issues. Few of them asked any questions. The committee was set up for the trans lobby to wheel out the sob stories.

The trans lobby led them right up the garden path.

Just as a small note on the Transgender Enquiry thing.

Anna Lee was a MTF transgender person giving oral evidence in the enquiry in September 2015.

Cat Smith MP was part of that committee and was there for Anna Lee's evidence.

She subsequently employed Anna Lee less than a year later as a Parliamentary Assistant in July 2016.

Didn't realise that connection.

Yes in that interview with sharron Davies she has people have stopped her in the street to say thank you since she spoke out.

Jess Phillips was on that committee?

The responses to Maria Miller are amazing. Am I imagining things or has the tide really turned in the last couple of months? GC voices now seem to completely outnumber TRAs on these discussions. I thought the same with the David Lloyd gym issue, a year ago there would have been a complete TRA pile on, but most of the responses were women saying thanks.

God that Sophie Walker tweet is a cheek.

Telling Maria Miller off for holding the exact same opinion that she did.

Interesting, though how people are now scrambling to get on the 'right side of history' isn't it ?

Yes, I agree. The whole disaster began when the GRA was introduced.

ZuttZeVootEeeVro I agree, but I don't want the others who allowed this to be forgotten either.

To be fair to Maria, it wasn't all her fault. No one on the committee disagreed or produced a minority report, did they?

It was her job to ensure that any policies were fair and did not cause harm to women and girls. She was the minister for women.

It was her job, if she didn't understand the implications to commission a report focusing on the impact this would have for women and girls.

She chose to focus on the demand of a pressure group at the expense of women and girls.

If mm had been capable of doing her job properly, we wouldn't be anything close to this situation now.

God this makes me so, so angry. I couldn’t give a monkeys now about what she does or says in response.

I just want all of this out in the open for the world to see what an utterly contemptible individual this person is. Sadly she is another example of how many ordinary people have come to view those in power, as being self serving, grubby little greasy pole climbers.

Here they are. Mims Davies is the new minister for sport. Bodes well.

Mrs Maria Miller (Conservative, Basingstoke) (Chair) Ruth Cadbury (Labour, Brentford and Isleworth) Maria Caulfield (Conservative, Lewes) Jo Churchill (Conservative, Bury St Edmunds) Angela Crawley (Scottish National Party, Lanark and Hamilton East) Mims Davies (Conservative, Eastleigh) Mrs Flick Drummond (Conservative, Portsmouth South) Ben Howlett (Conservative, Bath) Siobhain McDonagh (Labour, Mitcham and Morden) Jess Phillips (Labour, Birmingham, Yardley) Mr Gavin Shuker (Labour (Co-op), Luton South)

To be fair to Maria, it wasn't all her fault. No one on the committee disagreed or produced a minority report, did they? I think Maria Caulfield might have said that they didn't get everything right. I'm off to remind myself of the others on the committee.

"I've been told I have to apologise. So I apologise. There. Happy now?"

Just read about her. The woman has no shame
No wonder people have no faith in politicians

Jeez

Ah. Miller is obviously a person who is not familiar with the word "ethics"

Was miller not involved in scandal over expenses?

She was. Inflated claims for mortgage payments.

(Also note the 32 second 'apology' as an indication of character)

MM (and the gra before her) knew it was a situation were a compromise is impossible. It's impossible for women and girls to have sex based rights if males can legally or socially be seen as female.

Instead of admitting this and finding a separate solution to the issues of a group of male people, women's rights were ignored.

The demands and power of male people is the reason women and girls need sex based rights.

Oh yeah should rt

Was miller not involved in scandal over expenses ?

I say, I'm enjoying that twitter thread
MM deserves this.
She opened the door to all this and didn't give a shit about the consequences for women or vulnerable kids. She's had so many opportunities to engage but hasn't. Unbelievable myopic arrogance from a totally inept politician.

Or David Cameron and Brexit. Rather than staying around to clean up the mess that he made he exited stage left, pursued by large fees for company directorships.

Interesting to see such a bold statement from Sophie Walker, KenDodd.

This tendency to create a huge mess and then disown all responsibility for it does seem to be a feature of government at the moment. Look at David Davis negotiating a Brexit deal and then voting against it.
