Apparently Bojo is planning on making David Davis either Home Secretary or chancellor? If so, that could be great news for feminism. With Davis as Home Secretary, surely the whole prison issue will be resolved ?

(I’m not a Tory. I’m just trying to make the best of this madnsss...)

Do you mean David T C Davies?

Which David Davis? The gender-critical one is the less well-known one and I suspect Johnson is talking about the other one.

I don’t think it’s that David Davies who bojo the Bozo wants to make chancellor. It’s the one who fucked up being Brexit minister.
Be afraid... Be very afraid

I should say I am a Tory, and I wouldn’t trust that David Davies to clean out my fish tank.

If you mean David Davis, he is not the MP who has supported our women's meetings:

Oh! Sad

I just read the headline and got over-excited!

I thought the “David Davis” that supported us was fairly prominent?

WeirdWoman

There are two Tory MPs with almost identical names:

David Davis ... the former Brexit Minister who is a friend of Johnson

David TC Davies, who has been supporting some of the women's meetings.

Be thankful it's not Philip Davis!

WeirdWoman · 20/07/2019 15:45

In fairness, it seems that the Daily Mail has got those two mixed up?

They have spelt “Davis” without the “e”, which is the gender critical one!

No, Davies with the e is the gender critical one.

Sadly I don’t think the Brexit Bulldog is likely to be GC.

Lumene · 20/07/2019 18:07

Is he gender critical though? He’s certainly got courage and basic common sense regarding trans issues conflicting with women’s rights. Not sure if it really comes from being GC though?

When James Callaghan was PM there was also a backbench Labour MP called James Callaghan who received more than a few sensitive messages.

And then there was Snobby Roberts who was not the first Mrs Margaret Thatcher. They were known to the family as Margo and Maggie respectively, to tell them apart.
