JC is an amazing and wonderful woman.... this makes me so sad, I hope she is alright....

One of the few sane voices for women's rights - every time I heard her speak out about these I applauded

Just in case she looks in on this thread, hoping for the best for her Flowers Flowers Flowers

@MishyJDI

She is probably plotting a move over to Alex Salmond's new party!
I very much doubt it but if she does Cherry will lose all shred of credibility. I know many on here are happy to overlook Salmond's questionable behaviour but is Cherry going to align herself with a party which will be fielding candidates convicted of perjury and contempt of court?

I don't think having potential law- makers who have no respect for 2 of the fundamental principles of our legal system is a terribly good idea.

I wish her a full and speedy recovery.

Some fake news doing the rounds:

Yes the timing... Now if Joanna Cherry was heading up the Alba party she’d definitely get my vote - but Alex Salmond??

MiniMork · 26/03/2021 17:19

Interesting.

Interesting timing, given both the upcoming election and the launch of Alex Salmond’s Alba Party today.

Reminds me of the time JC was seeking nomination as an SNP candidate and threw her hat in the ring in more than one constituency.

Anyway, I wish her well for a speedy recovery and a subsequent career of renewed vigour in either the SNP or Alba Party.

The harassment of women in politics needs to stop.

Thank you! I'll email my support

MarieDelaere · 26/03/2021 15:22

I can't link on this crappy device but google 'contact Joanna Cherry MP' Flowers

MarieDelaere · 26/03/2021 15:21

I used the parliamentary one - they will usually forward emails like this (ie supportive) to the constituency office who will pass them on* (and filter out the horrible threats etc).

  • even if as a general 'you've had lots of supportive emails' message at this stage; although normally they'd be forwarded as a bundle. And it really does give a person a boost to be sent kind messages by lots of people.
Chrysanthemum5 · 26/03/2021 15:13

@MarieDelaere stupid question - but what is her office email?

MarieDelaere · 26/03/2021 15:11

I've emailed her office to offer kind words and support.

Bless her.

What a bitter, dangerous cabal the gender ideology crowd in various political parties turned out to be.

Chrysanthemum5 · 26/03/2021 15:11

Joanna thank you for all you've done for women and children and for your bravery in the face of shocking threats. Take care and hopefully you will return soon (Scotland needs politicians like you)

PurpleHoodie · 26/03/2021 15:05

What Viv said.

Rest up Minister Cherry BrewFlowers

PurpleHoodie · 26/03/2021 15:02

They are weird Marie. You're quite right.

No matter what the Scottish MNetters views are on Independence V Unification, it has been made obvious to everyone in the UK that the SNP are no longer a party about Independence: they, like the Greens, have given way to their stated remit (Independence/ the Environment) in favour of a new religion. Gender Ideology.

Which is bonkers.

vivariumvivariumsvivaria · 26/03/2021 15:01

It's just so embarrassing. Joanna Cherry is a brain on legs, I don't agree with many of her politics, but, the woman is a powerhouse and I'd be happy with her in government because I'd feel like women were safe.

Compare with Kirsty Blackman, another SNP MP who appears to be, well, not as blessed with the same towering intellect as Ms Cherry.

Why have we got one lauded and influencing everything, and, the other needing some time out? It says something worrying about our society.

Best wishes to Joanna Cherry. Women need her.

PurpleHoodie · 26/03/2021 14:56

Joanna

Let it be marked that this is the type of politician that is required to run a successful, healthy, functioning society.

From England to Scotland Flowers

MarieDelaere · 26/03/2021 14:54

I would like to send her a card or something she's appreciate - to her constituency office presumably?

She has been treated disgracefully by the SNP, which has egged on the twittery bullies and weird types.

PearPickingPorky · 26/03/2021 14:49

I hope she's alright. Can't imagine the toll the last few months must have taken on her.

ChattyLion · 26/03/2021 14:27

She’s so brilliant. I hope she gets well soon.Flowers

Manderleyagain · 26/03/2021 14:18

Wishing her all the best in her break and recovery.

ScoldsBridal · 26/03/2021 10:04

Get well soon Joanna - hope you get what you need in terms of rest and recovery. Will miss your cool intelligence in the coming weeks of politicking Flowers

mummywithtwokidsplusdog · 26/03/2021 07:14

The poor woman. She has been treated so badly by her own party. I hope she feels better soon 💐
