And Starmer is honest. Which after Johnson counts for a lot.

And a man is a woman!

I care about women being protected and feeling safe far more than party politics. Starmer expressly backs politics that threaten the safety of women

Odd to think that some women don't prioritise their own rights and safety over other things. People generally vote for who they think will do the best for them, and some women value their rights and their safety quite highly.

So you think repealing the Humans Rights Act 1998 is going to increase women's ability to challenge misogyny and the state, and keep us safer? Really?

Allthegoodnamesarealreadytaken · 20/10/2022 16:28

But seriously though, how do we get an general election? The tories will never propose one as it means certain doom for them, even if they were actually running against a cat and a lettuce. But surely we can’t get lumped with Boris again, his own party wanted him out

Yes that is my concern, I value my safety and rights of women over picking between ruling parties who only tinker round the edges and are, in the end not very different from each other.,the economy prob wouldn’t be much better under labour. It will be a blip for a couple of years

wheras, once you erode the rights and safety of women by fundamental action such as changing the categorisation of what a woman is, that’s pretty permanent and will affect our daughters daughters.

The men in grey suits removed her. Not really how democracy works in my mind.

Nothing in the UK has resembled democracy since around 2016.

It’s the lesser of two evils. Starmer wants to force women who want to go about simple things like get changed at the gym to have to do that next to a person with a penis without complaint, or indeed even daring to voice it makes her uncomfortable, at least the Tory action which affects women is incidental rather than setting out to undermine a woman’s right to raise her voice that she feels unsafe. At least the Tories have an accurate description of what a woman is

Fuckallthetories · 20/10/2022 16:33

Fuck them all

YAHOOOOOO

just gonna crack out the champagne and truffles if anyone wants to share? (Can’t guarantee you won’t get flu from them tho)

whiteroseredrose · 20/10/2022 14:41

Thanks for the lettuce explanation.

Now we need an octopus to pick the next pm. Couldn't do a worse job than the MPs and Tory faithful.

Octopuses are actually very intelligent.

StarfishBrain · 20/10/2022 16:34

Oh for gods sake! Talk about the turd that won’t flush

Perhaps that is the next live stream.

How can they have a leadership contest within a week? Did Truss just mean it will START within the week? They can't change the rules so they no longer have to consult the membership, right? Although I suppose they could have one of the final two drop out, Andrea Leadsom-style...

They can make the bar so high for entry to the final two that there is only a final one so nothing for members to vote on. Eg. to get into the final round you need the backing of more than 50% of Conservative MPs...

Will they have the sense to? Unlikely.

StarfishBrain · 20/10/2022 16:37

Atmywitsend29 · 20/10/2022 15:21

Lettuce for PM.

Or, you know, a GE.

At least it has less of a menacing look in its (googley) eyes.

Better than swivel eyes.

thuytien · 20/10/2022 16:39

I watched her resignation speech and have to say she was most relaxed in this speech than any other speeches she's ever made. Must have been a great relief for her(and her supporting husband towering in the background like a bodyguard - bless him!). Previous resignation speeches were all sad.

Oh God, Boris is being suggested... I really hope not!!

My biggest fear is that they bring back Boris......
