Tell me about Kemi Badenoch

[BlastedPimples]

I've not taken any notice of the Tory leadership contest. And today is the estates day with Kemi being the favourite.

What's she about then?

Also there’s no need to resort to insults @username7891, try to have a courteous discussion.

Again, it's possible to celebrate more than one achievement for women.

And I congratulate her for smashing Labour’s glass ceiling.

What did Badenoch say? It's very, very low and other women have achieved much more.

She's a charmer, no wonder you admire her.

Eh? I congratulated her for smashing Labour’s glass ceiling. Why is that a problem to you?

@MrsKwazi
Tories unite? Haha.
They will be fighting like rats in a sack in no time. I can't see her uniting them, unless it's with Reform.

GB new approval? What a surprise.

Because the first Chancellor of the Exchequer in 800 years is an achievement, whichever party you're in. Your disingenuousness is tiresome.

As are your insults @username7891

You're being called out for your behaviour. It's snide and unnecessary.

My “behaviour” is stating my opinion politely and congratulating RR. But pointing out how disappointing it is that labour are shouting this from the rooftops when their institutional misogyny has prevented them ever having a female leader in their long history. Whereas their opposition has had 4.

Your behaviour is just paranoid and rude.

There's an interesting podcast about her from The Rest is Politics OP this week

She's appointed Pritti Patel as Shadow Foreign Sec. Tells me all zi need to know.

I find her far too right wing and anti women.

Very disappointing choice so I’m hoping she’ll be out asap. I certainly hope she’s never the PM

• They paused the Ban Conversion Therapy bill because of concerns around potential troubling consequences regarding the trans gender aspects - especially for young people including those who are gay, autistic, or who have experienced trauma, who need exploratory psychotherapy not instant affirmation they are transgender.

• Boris said out right at one point that biology mattered at a time when saying this was so taboo it could loose ordinary people their job.

• Commissioned the Cass Report on question of how far science supports puberty blockers for gender Dysphoric children.

• They stopped the planned reform of the Gender Recognition Act which would make it even easier for anyone to change their gender/legal sex.

• They stopped Scotland from doing this.

• They changed the law so that sex criminals identifying as women would not be allowed in women’s prisons.

• They wrote to the EHRC to ask if it was necessary to make the meaning of sex clearer in the Equality Act with a view to amending the Act to do so. (Baroness Falconer who said that it was then experienced a groundless witch hunt from those working for her.)

• They consulted on, and began changing policy on, the teaching of the concept of people being born with a ‘gender identity’ which might be at variance with their body to school children, in order to prevent this in the future.

Yes, they should have done more, and done so more decisively much sooner. But they definitely began to take steps to stop the dangers to children and women arising from the trans gender wave in a way that America, Canada, Australia and the EU have not.

Meanwhile,

Labour women trying to defend children’s safety, and women’s rights, dignity and safety, were censored by their party and many party members made idiotic or obfuscating statements, including Keir Starmer.

Liberal Democrats and Greens are unquestioning in following transactivist precepts thoughtlessly.

n.b. It was not the Conservatives but Labour who created the outrageous legal lie that a man can be a woman and vice versa that is the Gender Recognition Act (2004) with all the nonsensical consequences that follow from this - with little or no public knowledge at the time - and then messed up any possibility of clarity in interpreting it in tandem with the Equality Act 2014.

I forgot to say they closed down the Tavistock Clinic.

She plans to means test state pensions, she says today.
