Why is she belittling claims of misogyny? She's got some decent points to challenge without resorting to that. It's disgusting behaviour.

Why do you think the attacks on Rachel Reeves are based on her gender rather than her incompetence?

toomuchfaff · 26/11/2025 14:02

Seeing the whole farce on TV is ridiculous, all of them sat bleating in a room, laughing and joking, jovial as ever.. Its absolutely ridiculous, its not a bloody joke. They may as well be an audience at a pissed up comedy festival

Because she needs to position herself as a strong, anti-woke person in order to win Tory hearts and minds and fight off Reform.

Neither are very good at their jobs, how were they selected to be MPs?

Because she was literally talking about mansplaining and misogyny? The whole criticism isnt due to her gender, but she made clear some of it was.

You're just picking on Kemi because she's a woman, no?

EmeraldRoulette · 26/11/2025 14:05

Kemi made some very valid points.

she's not suggesting mansplaining doesn't happen. She's saying that the Chancellor has to take responsibility for the budget.

hydrangeadangerea · 26/11/2025 14:06

I love her. Get over yourself.

Because she was the one making the comments, no?

@KenAdams so if Rachel accuses people of mansplaining and misogyny it must be true? The fact that she is the most incompetent chancellor in history is more relevant to the fact that she is under attack than her sex.

I am done linking arms with women in power who embarrass other women.

I say bring back shaming women in power who got there in skanky ways. Say for example shame those who fake a CV or join in say a sex party to gain power for themselves, then expect the women they shit on from a great height to support them.

Boomer55 · 26/11/2025 14:16

She’s just making the point that it’s no good Reeves playing the old sexism card, to try and alter the fact that she’s useless.

She’d be useless regardless of gender. 🙄

I'm saying that there's more than enough to challenge her on rather than mimicking her voice and trying to shame her for raising the mansplaining issue. There's a lot RR hasn't done well, why bring the personal stuff into it?

Kemi is right.

Teddleshon1 · 26/11/2025 14:56

@KenAdams because Rachel brought up mansplaining and misogyny in an attempt to deflect criticism which is actually based on her incompetence, not her sex.

redsunsets · 26/11/2025 15:00

@Teddleshon1Exactly this! And RR should stop playing that card.

XDownwiththissortofthingX · 26/11/2025 16:38

They are both hopelessly incompetent and miles out of their depth. Watching the pair of them get into a back and forth slagging match is like watching the female equivalent of two bald men fighting over a comb.

I totally agree. These people are elected to manage the country and they are making serious decisions about people’s lives, yet they act like a buffoon debating society.
I’m disgusted by their lack of professionalism. All parties are guilty of this. Nowhere else in the world treats the governmental chamber like this.
It makes me want to cry when I know so many citizens are truly suffering in life, and this clown show is what passes for professional politics.
