I think the original message to which she responded was goady and silly. So what. People can say goady and silly things on social media. As an elected representative she should have ignored and moved on, not responded with playground-level name-calling, alienating many of the people she's supposed to represent.

So a reasonable response to someone being twattish is an elected representative being twattish and insulting back?

I think this is a fair point, not least as Osborne has also today said "we" (her plus supporters?) "must resist the divisive war on woke".

As a public servant, paid for by us, what better way to "be better" than to - erm - engage in social media backturning on the public? I can't think of one!

🤦‍♀️

”My NY Resolution is to block Jews/Muslims/Hindus/vegans/humanists/athiests/Catholics…”

Two of those would probably be considered ok by lots of people; but leaving that aside - how does the woman not hear herself? They have to have all been briefed that TERF is a slur (I believe a judge compared it to the P-word?); & that the women labelled as much are protected by the Equality Act. Not so much shooting herself in foot as an autokneecapping 🤦‍♀️

Yeah in response to someone being twattish. So what, she's a decent MP who cares about her community, we could do with more like her.

Decent MPs don't tend to block women who give a shit about child safeguarding. She's elected to serve ALL her constituents and that includes women and children, instead of pushing abusive shit like gender ideology.

She might also need reminded that TERF is a slur and hate speech.

MrsOvertonsWindow · 31/12/2023 15:23

She's not forgiven Kemi for showing up her lack of thinking, insight and concern about safeguarding children. She's on a Lloyd Russell-Moyle spittle flecked trajectory of insulting all of the electorate who have more knowledge & concern for children than her (that'll be the majority):

So a reasonable response to someone being twattish is an elected representative being twattish and insulting back? how old is she, twelve?

Clearly doesn't care about that part of her community that wants to preserve women's spaces, though.

PronounssheRa · 31/12/2023 15:17

Could do with more like her? Nah thanks.

Apart from anything else she isn't very bright and has no understanding of her brief

She's an extremist who is incapable of calm, rational discussion.

Elected representatives using misogynistic slurs is revealing.
