Previously net-positive ratings for Jo fell during the campaign. There was clearly a lot of misogyny and sexism at play, and Jo’s appeal to women also fell significantly during the election.

For any leader to be successful takes time; to build awareness, to form relationships, to understand the role and learn from early mistakes. However for Jo that time simply did not exist and – while sex is of course no barrier to being able to do the job successfully – there is a growing body of research on the challenges of being a female political leader which imply that time for preparation is even more valuable. Time not just for themselves and their party, but also for people to ‘get’ someone different from the ‘norm.’

Plenty of frank and devastating self-criticism, but one or two blind-spots, including Rosy Cobb who seems to get off scot-free. Bad relations with the media? Why would that be?

Woman who doesn't believe in sex is victim of sexism - read all about it!

Nicely summed up. If you can't define women, and if you don't believe that biological sex exists, then how can you claim to be discriminated against on the basis that you're a woman?

Stupidity is off the scale. As usual.

I would have voted Lib Dem for the Remain stance at first, but they really blew it on self ID and women’s rights

Me too. But then her Jo ness ordered me not to vote for them on account of my bigoted views. So I didn’t.
