Brilliant speech, I don't know if it's already on here. Worth a watch
I sent a card to this lady when she was on GB new the other week.

Thank you, it's excellent - just a shame there weren't more MPs there to hear it!

Yet another conservative woman speaking truth.

Ffs, I can't possibly vote Tory, can I?

BreadInCaptivity · 10/11/2021 12:09

Great speech.

To the point and pulls no punches,

Let's hope she gets some traction.

Wow, what a brave woman. And yes, that was entirely unequivocal. Good for her.

And yes it's disappointing to see so few MPs there, but I think that's often the case, and perhaps more so during Covid.

One thing's for sure, that speech is going to spread like a bloody bushfire now.

Wow! Just that really - wow!! What a fantastic 4 minutes. I want to say Brava! but i hate that underlying that is the admission that it is brave and somehow radical to speak the truth.

Why is there no-one in the House of Commons? What are MPs paid for?

motherofthelittlescreamingone · 10/11/2021 11:35

Yes! Thank goodness someone is saying it

MrsOvertonsWindow · 10/11/2021 11:34

Yup littlbrowndog
And she name checked diversity role models and several other self interested adult organisations with examples of the self indulgent twaddle they're pushing at children.

littlbrowndog · 10/11/2021 11:30

It took her like about 4 minutes to say what we have been saying

Keep out stonewall mermaids all sorts and another group out of schools

That’s what she said. Teachers to frightened to say no to these groups 🤷‍♀️

MrsOvertonsWindow · 10/11/2021 11:27

What a brilliant coherent speech that highlights what has happened as a result of allowing these lobby groups to promote their preferred versions of sexual politics at children.
Hopefully Miriam Cates (who has background much needed in parliament) will go far.

Very good to see this being raised in the (nearly empty) chamber of the House of Commons. For those in authority implementing the gender identity ideology, without being ultra activists, surely they must be realising that if a massive scandal breaks in a few years time the excuse of "how was I to know there was something dodgy in what I was pushing, everyone else was saying it was fine?" will be looking very threadbare.

Incidentally, here are some biographical details suggesting she might be well placed to discuss this matter and highly motivated to do so:

She studied genetics at the University of Cambridge,[5] obtained a Postgraduate Certificate in Education from Sheffield Hallam University, and worked as a science teacher in a school in Sheffield.

Obviously I did snigger at this: Member of Parliament for Penistone and Stocksbridge.

This is such a great speech. Sums it up about what is going on in schools
