Anyone watching bbc Parliament, IWD debate?

[Throughthegate]

Just watching the speeches live on international women's day debate (not sure what the debate is as such).
Listening to Lizz Truss speaking very sensibly and was really struck when they planned out to show the whole house how few MPs were actually there. Compared to something they view as "important".
Dawn Butler is now speaking and seems to know that there is a difference between men and women - almost sounds normal (so far!) I really wish someone would ask her about the "child is born without sex" comment. What a hypocrite.

Liz Truss the actual minister is there but Caulfield says she's 'standing in for member for Saffron Waldron who is on maternity leave'

Oh I can't wait to watch this when I get home!

If you are on Twitter please give Jackie Doyle-Price some support, she is probably going to get piled on for this:

I have emailed both Jackie and Joanna thanking them for their words today

Geralt if you get a random email from the Green Party let us know! (Someone on another thread emailed MSP in support of her challenge of a green MSP using "cisgender" and then received her first ever Green Party email. Probably a coincidence!

Ha. Interesting. I will do!

Wow. Is the tide turning?

I'm about to email her. I am so so impressed. She clearly isn't comfortable in public speaking and found it very stressful and yet SHE DID IT. amazing.

How long before she issues a grovelling apology and resigns

Which one, Stealth?

I've emailed Jackie to say thank you and wrote a postcard for her to receive at the house of commons. Does this mean we have hope?
Contact details for Jackie in image.

I doubt Jackie Doyle-Price is for turning.

She used to have responsibility for Mental Health and made an important statement the day before she was sacked by Boris

I hope Boris finds a way of bringing her back. We need more thoughtful, intelligent MPs - whichever party.

Quite a lot of sensible GC and feminist stuff on her Twitter

Looking at Jackie Doyle-Price’s twitter account - I’d never seen anything about OurDuty.group before today. Looks like a group to watch and support.

Jackie DP op. I wonder whether she will be clamped down on. I hope not.

Have emailed a long supportive slightly ranty message to Jackie DB
Saying well done and dont give in etc

Mine was similar. :)
