Och, I know, women are just so hysterical and over the top, aren't they?

Viviennemary · 01/02/2021 16:19

She isn't sacked at all. She still has a job. Which is more than a lot of people have at this difficult time. Talk about drama!

LizzieSiddal · 01/02/2021 16:19

Oh gosh the first time I knew of Joanna was when she was talking to the Twitter person, re misogyny, during a Commons committee meeting. I couldn’t take my eyes off her- such an intelligent woman. They obviously don’t want women like that in the SNP!

GrinitchSpinach · 01/02/2021 16:17

(Sorry; that didn’t show up how I wanted. Was meant to be “This aggression will not stand, man!”)

ChattyLion · 01/02/2021 16:08

They’ve done what?!Sad
Joanna Cherry is an absolutely brilliant, principled politician in what looks like an absolute ship of misogynistic SNP fools.
Bastards.

A party led by a woman bowing to men.

iguanadonna · 01/02/2021 15:44

She's one of the very few politicians at the moment who could make a First Minister or Prime Minister of whom we'd actually be proud.

@vivariumvivariumsvivaria

I wonder whether Andy Whightman would be willing to join with the sack-ees and form a new party?

Joan McAlpine wasn't sacked, well, not yet.

She’s not been sacked but she is being cancelled. Rumour has it she’ll be replaced by ‘differently-abled’ box ticker Emma Harper in May.

One party source said: "It's not surprising that Joanna has chosen to play a victim rather than supporting colleagues who have an exciting chance to cover the brief."

Bloody hell.

Absolutely pathetic.
She's an immensely talented woman.
Was actually planning to vote SNP in May. Not now.
Lost all respect for Nicola Sturgeon.

@gardenbird48

That seems like such a crazy move. Some are now criticising her for not being happy that someone else has an exciting chance to cover this brief!!

Is this normal behaviour- to castigate someone for not being happy at being sacked - they are truly unhinged.

If I was a Scottish woman I would be worried about the prospect of independence with the SNP in charge - there would be absolutely no grown ups left in the room!

"Some are now criticising her for not being happy that someone else has an exciting chance to cover this brief!!"

If so, tells us everything about how they feel about women. It's not just whoever in SNP that have this attitude and expectations of women. Hide and disregard our own feelings, in order to please others.

The video this twitter account posted seems to sum up the issues quite clearly

What? Sacked for what reason?

theskyispink · 01/02/2021 15:24

@HeadPain

This whole things proves a lot of points.

I see in the replies to both tweets are several men being glad, telling her she deserves it for being "transphobic", I am only seeing men doing that.

I noticed this, too.

Gloating men, but the women doing this are few and far between.

@Newjobnewstart

Just saw this, as a firm snp supporter they have just lost my vote.
Lost my vote too. I either spoil my ballot or don't vote. Caught between anger and absolute despair.
MorrisZapp · 01/02/2021 15:13

Broadly, why is NS not got long left as First Minister? Who are the realistic heirs to the position?

Daisychain05 · 01/02/2021 15:10

I emailed them to let them know thy lost my vote for this.

www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/joanna-cherry-sacked-snp-front-23422480

Apparently the youth are leaving due to alleged transphobia ( my arse), well I've left due to them fucking hating women. I'm livid.

The Sandyford are continuing to experiment on children despite the high court ruling on Keira Bell's case because they are so much cleverer than everyone in England apparently.

Please start your own party Joanna.

Whatsnewpussyhat · 01/02/2021 15:09

So now the frontbench has no one who doesn't pretend being woman is a special feeling a man can have.

ArabellaScott · 01/02/2021 15:03

Yes, it is fucking insane, Barracker. Cherry is - all issues of women's rights aside - one of the most capable and skilled politicians the SNP have. To sack her is ... well. It's the end.

ThatIsNotMyUsername · 01/02/2021 15:03

What reason did they give?

theskyispink · 01/02/2021 15:02

Jobs for everyone except Joanna Cherry, Angus MacNeil and Kenny MacAskill (all GC).

Barracker · 01/02/2021 15:01

Wow.
This is insane.
