Today's WH is as follows - Woman's Hour Election Debate. In a special extended 90 minute programme, Nuala McGovern hosts the Woman's Hour Election Debate. Senior women from the main political parties of Great Britain outline their priorities for women and answer your questions. Taking part are: Scottish National Party spokesperson for Consular Affairs and International Engagement Hannah Bardell; Reform UK candidate Maria Bowtell; Green Party spokesperson for Housing and Communities Ellie Chowns; Deputy Leader of the Liberal Democrats Daisy Cooper; Conservative Minister of State for Disabled People, Health and Work Mims Davies; Labour Party Chair and Shadow Secretary for Women and Equalities Anneliese Dodds, and Plaid Cymru’s Westminster Leader Liz Saville Roberts.

Questions via text 84844 or WhatsApp - 03700100444

I intend to send something like the following - Given that you are all designated senior women politicians, speaking as such on Woman's Hour, can we possibly decide an answer to the question - What is a woman?

Send in yours!

Am sad to say that the thought of voting Reform has now fleetingly crossed my mind. I am in deep shock as am quite a lefty liberal in normal times. This debate has cemented in my mind that these are not normal times.

And while I am on a roll, I am deeply offended and downright angry at the way they suggest that these issues are just too much for our little lady brains to compute. Their misogyny is showing.

Don't vote for them if you disagree with most of their policies! I'm closer to not voting now, although I know that's not ideal. I'm autistic and find lies/false facts really difficult to deal with, so can't bring myself to vote for a party that lies about something so obvious. It's painful.

they Should rename this Trans Hour rather than Woman’s Hour. Only Rwform seem to give a monkeys about women.

What a ridiculous view. If Reform “gave a monkeys about women” they wouldn’t be proposing to scrap the Equality Act or the HRA, or withdrawal from the European Convention on Human Rights.

It is foolish, frankly, not to look at the manifestos in the round to see if they harm or support women, if that is a key concern.

What really pissed me off was the way they ignored women so comprehensively (apart from Reform).

Quite a feat given they are all women, and are on Woman's Hour.

I suspect their brains are hurting. I hope so!!

This is exactly how I feel! How can they not hear themselves?!

Do women exist to them at all?! When they look in the mirror, do they see no reflection?!

I'm not sure why anyone would expect anything else. Liberal women are completely in thrall to men's sexual rights. They are completely without boundaries themselves and just want to blame the resultant sleazy society on the very men they facilitate.

WarriorN · 18/06/2024 10:38

What's REALLY pissed me off is where is the party of women?!

Though the women's equality party is also absent.

That would have been fun!

Any one else wishing that Emma had been chairing this debate?

Yes, I don't think this presenter is quite ballsy enough but she has done well to shut them up when they go over time or don't answer the question.

What an absolute shitshow. I'm so depressed listening to all these women.

Me too. What utterly captured, incompetent politicians that they can’t even say they will adopt the recommendations of the Cass Review. These imbeciles are hardly going to come up with anything more evidenced or effective are they?

It might be too complicated for them to understand but others understand it fine.

BionicBadger · 18/06/2024 10:33

Fair play to Woman’s Hour for tackling it as question 1 though and showing the absolute shit show we are facing. I’m with Mims.

Wait for them to start on about adults who identify as children being the real victims here.

Isla Bryson's pink leggings got our attention

I'm forever grateful to whoever took that photo

Toxicity blah blah blah.

BionicBadger · 18/06/2024 10:30

Yea it’s so depressing

3peassuit · 18/06/2024 10:30

Reform is the only one making sense. God help us.

TigathaChristie · 18/06/2024 10:30

@WhatANiceNewWord - you nailed it! What an absolute car crash politics in 2024 is. God help us.

Redshoeblueshoe · 18/06/2024 10:29

I'm out.

Cass - Daisy Cooper it's too complicated for plebs!!

BionicBadger · 18/06/2024 10:29

😂

Redshoeblueshoe · 18/06/2024 10:29

My blood pressure can't cope with this

Redshoeblueshoe · 18/06/2024 10:28

BionicBadger · 18/06/2024 10:27
