Watching the chancellors speech and the female MP next to Rachel Reeves is in green, white and purple! A member of the shadow cabinet making a point?

Thangam Debonnaire speaking now. Green scarf, purple blouse, cream white jacket.

Is that it? Thangham's an excellent local MP, but I find this trifling. She's had lots of opportunities to say something significant on tans issue but has studiously avoided doing so.

I’m not sure Rayner and Starmer were happy about it

Why? Did they make a comment?

Yes, Thangham! Please, please stand up for Rosie Duffield. Please stand up for women.

Amazing! Just saw the twitter thread where she is asked if that was her. Gutted I’m banned so can’t make a comment to her.

Thangam statement

ArabellaScott · 17/11/2022 13:22

Yes, that's her, I think. Thangham Debbonaire. Will attach a crap quality screenshot.

Shadow Leader of the House of Commons.

I think it's Thangam Debbonaire. Is she a front bencher? She was the only Labour MP to speak out when the feminist fringe meeting at Labour conference was besieged by a howling mob.

If its Thangam that's quite the statement as she's in one of the wokest constituencies in the country!!!

ArabellaScott · 17/11/2022 13:16

On the front bench, white jacket, glasses? Bit hard to see her from the side.

Ooh interesting - I am a bit crap with politicians - do you know who she is?

I don’t know who she is and I can’t see her now. I just saw her dress next to Raynor again. Will see if I can find out once I see her face again!
