Nine, not inne...

Only inne comments so far, and very supportive. One of them suggests she might be the next PM. Wonder if Murdoch would ever back her.

their official lines are represented by the likes of Lisa (put rapists in prison with women) Nandy, Layla (soul-seer of the sainted trans) Moran and Mhairi (youse women are all Jeremy Hunts) Black

Perfect synopsis - Can I nab that?

But who for the greens? (Non-men, vote for women sexual abuse victims not to be given the right to choose a female medical examiner - or we will discipline you).

I agree with you Winesalot - also Labour (all the other parties) have given her an open goal and their only defence will be to witter on about inclusion or lie through their teeth (speaking as a life-long Labour member but thoroughly disgusted with their enthusiasm to destroy women’s hard-earned rights).

I know that there are honourable dissenters in all the other parties but when their official lines are represented by the likes of Lisa (put rapists in prison with women) Nandy, Layla (soul-seer of the sainted trans) Moran and Mhairi (youse women are all Jeremy Hunts) Black then it’s not just Daily Mail readers who will be voting Tory again.

The Government’s cronyism has been extreme and vile this year but Truss’s strong, uncompromising, common-sense stand on education is going to have wide appeal and will dwarf any annoyance with the likes of Dominic Cummins shenanigans.

Put that article alongside the holier-than-thou, elitist, diversity claptrap spouted by the other parties and their decadence and irrelevance to the majority is embarrassingly obvious.

How the hell did we get to a point where a Tory Government stuffed with Old Etonians is more in touch with the majority of people than the Labour Party?? Heaven help us if they capitulate to the wokerati who have weeviled their way into their ranks too.

Thanks foe the link OP. Watching this with interest.

She seems politely resilient to bullshit but I can't yet be confident that it is actually a fully considered strategy that addresses 'gender' and elevates data priority of sex as category, and not just the actions of a woman trying to dismiss sexism as a thing.

The great irony is that with this moral blindness, the Left has allowed insidious practices to threaten equality. For example, it has failed to defend the single-sex spaces that were won by the hard work of women over generations. It has allowed the spread of antisemitism. It has allowed the appalling grooming of young girls for sex by elder men in towns such as Rotherham.

It is very clear that Liz Truss understands the concerns women have been talking about. I’d like to suspect she also understands the danger the government has exposed themselves to in relation to allowing such deep access for lobby groups. Her move to ignore the ‘back room deals’ struck by conversative committee members and these groups certainly highlights this. The crap dealt to her when she did made it rather clear who felt they had control of the policy making.

Is she on the right track to fix the issues? I guess time will tell. I am at least heartened that the portfolio is in her hands rather than someone who is completely in the pockets of the lobby groups.
