To think that caring about the NHS, environment, education is more important than ‘knowing what a woman is’?

Tories clearly don’t care about women with their policies, but use ‘wokism’ as an easy target to stir up anger.

Rather Labour did both, but if people think the Tories actually care about women, or the environment, or the NHS, or schools, or anything other than siphoning off public money in order to award dodgy contracts to their friends, they're deluding themselves.

YABU. Definitions are fundamental to being able to write and uphold legislation and human rights, and women are still using the definitions and rights some are so keen to get rid of. There is no hierarchy of one thing being more important than another, because all of these things are interconnected. Society is more like an ecology.

We can see from other countries this type of legislation doesn't end well for women, but they are no longer able to talk about it.

Just read that Tory ‘rebels’ have come up with a 100 day plan which includes the following. It confirms to me that they have zero clue if they think this is what it’s going to take to make us all happy. The bluekip Farage enterists which make up their membership now have really fucked them. They are out of talent and ideas.

  • An attempt to end the junior doctors pay dispute with a 10-12% offer.
  • Further cuts to legal migration numbers, with a curb on the number of foreign students staying in the UK.
  • Vow to increase defence spending to 3% of GDP by 2027.
  • Introduce measures to jail prolific offenders and build rapid detention cells to increase prison capacity.
  • Cut the benefits bill, with a target to reduce payments for depression and anxiety.

Tory rebels plan 100-day ‘policy blitz’ if local elections are disaster for party

Worried MPs have concocted five-point plan of quick measures aimed at showing that the party cares about public’s priorities

@lightinthebox I would prefer it is labour knew what a woman is, as well as the rest but they dont seem to either.

"My Labour government will build on brownfield land first and make sure green spaces are protected." 🤔😂😂😂

This is exactly how an uneducated fool like starmer tells me he knows nothing about ecosystems/biodiversity without telling me he knows fuck all.
Because all Starmer cares about is his buddies in the city and money talks, hes a liabaility and a liar pulling the wool over people eyes or just thick.
