Just wondering where to find update with answers to our questions?

OP posts:
BernardBlacksWineIcelolly · 11/03/2019 15:07

answers will be posted on the original thread, here

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/mumsnet_live_events/a3523984-International-Women-s-Day-Q-A-with-Penny-Mordaunt-MP-Secretary-of-State-for-International-Development

looks like they might turn up later today, or tomorrow

hopefully it means that Penny is having a good think about the answers

RepealTheGRA · 11/03/2019 15:10

Is there a book running on when the answers will be supplied/resignation/reshuffle announced?

BernardBlacksWineIcelolly · 11/03/2019 15:15

I know she's not going to give her definition of 'woman', to explain how she knows with such certainty that men who feel compelled to comply with sexist stereotypes typically associated with women ARE women.

But wouldn't it be nice if she did have a good answer? we could all relax and go home.

SonicVersusGynaephobia · 11/03/2019 15:39

I feel disappointment brewing.

I hope she surprises me.

RepealTheGRA · 11/03/2019 15:41

Has somebody saved the thread so the Sunday’s can run an article?

happydappy2 · 11/03/2019 16:13

Government need to realise women make up over 50% of the population & we are not happy with the current law.....it’s a direct safeguarding risk not only for women but for children also....the whole notion of issuing a GRC is nonsense & unnecessary. Of course people can be transexual but that does not make a man a woman.

CaptainKirksSpookyghost · 11/03/2019 16:19

I don't think she's going to answer.

truthisarevolutionaryact · 11/03/2019 16:47

She has started to make more conciliatory noises. I reckon that the party line (TWAW & the most oppressed group ever in the world) that MPs have been spun by the Civil service is starting to collide with the reality of letters from horrified constituents and the evident lack of safeguarding of children that the Times , Mail etc are so diligently reporting.

The light being shone on the abuse and bullying of women is also helping.

I just thinking it's taking her longer than she thought to come up with the best way of fobbing us off without causing uproar a la Creasy and NSPCC.

RepealTheGRA · 11/03/2019 16:58

Creasy, NSPCC, and now Penny that could keep the Sunday’s going for a month!

Maybe an investigative journalist could answer the many questions raised if our elected officials are unable to?

Threewheeler1 · 11/03/2019 17:41

Be interesting to see what her take on transwomen in sport is.
She can't have avoided noticing that one.
Wonder if she's seen Dr Ruddy McKnackers latest delightful tweets about smear tests really being about affirming the gender wishes of the HCP, and not about the actual woman consenting to the procedure.

As for everything else, I'm deflating my sad little balloon of hope myself, in advance, to save disappointment later.

Knicknackpaddyflak · 11/03/2019 17:44

I would suspect that Humphrey or his current equivalent has been urgently spinning words to say as little as possible and avoid taking any kind of stance that could be seen as coming down on either side. I hope, unlike the NSPCC, she doesn't bottle it altogether, but she is in a very difficult position in that corner she's helped paint herself/been painted into.

RepealTheGRA · 11/03/2019 17:55

Dr Ruddy McKnackers

I hope anybody who doesn’t have their question answered sends it to their own MP and asks to have it answered in Parliament!

Even John McDonnell answered. Surely Penny isn’t prepared to be 1-0 down to labour in this particular shit show Confused

Dr Ruddy McKnackers

I confess to being so utterly bemused and befuddled by the whole thing I nearly googled this person. Blush

Does anyone have a link to this on wayback or archived? Can’t seem to get the link to the original thread to work.

PiffleWiffleWoozle · 16/07/2022 18:00

Ie a link to the Penny Mordaunt mumsnet chat thread that works.

SallyLockheart · 16/07/2022 18:18

Just looked at her answers. She never gives a straight answer does she?

PiffleWiffleWoozle · 16/07/2022 19:21

Thank you so much nauticant!

PiffleWiffleWoozle · 16/07/2022 19:21
