BBC Parliament is showing live coverage of Liz Truss at 11.30 today. Will be interesting to watch in light of yesterday's announcement.

Thanks tuning in now!

EwwSprouts · 23/09/2020 11:32

Am ready!

gardenbird48 · 23/09/2020 11:34

I've got it on now - thanks for the heads up

BelleHathor · 23/09/2020 11:48

How nice to hear Liz Truss say "Sex"!

ImaginaryCat · 23/09/2020 11:52

Is that it? Is there a list published anywhere of the questions that will be asked?

EwwSprouts · 23/09/2020 11:59

Off at a tangent, I do think Diana Johnson is an excellent MP.

Liz Truss was very diplomatic in her response to the question on what the gov is doing to hit 18 week appointments. I'd have just said get real, cancer & COVID but that's why I'm not a politician.

Norma27 · 23/09/2020 12:03

I said pretty much the same to my husband sprouts.

Definitely 👍 I would've said really? In the middle of a pandemic! Apparently there is a 10000 person backlog waiting for transition/treatment. Liz handled it well

so two questions about LGBT conversion therapy - with the response that they are researching it - I hope that research is being done objectively.
Women getting online abuse - not much info but good that the Minister is looking into that.
Liz mentioned training GPs to improve frontline services for trans people - again, I hope that training is being done sensibly.
Women and girls encouraging into STEM/pay gap/aerospace industry - just praying that they meant women and girls.

Another one on conversion therapy .another one talking about letting trans people down. sorry , a bit late to this on catch up. Girls and women’s issues were talked about in other questions, eg forced marriage, contraception etc. Thank goodness nothing about supporting pregnant men.

Angryresister · 23/09/2020 12:16

As was said on another thread either it is am medical issue or it isn’t . Mental health services not mentioned but young people to be Offered support....

It's really annoying when they talk about women and girls, not knowing exactly who they are referencing.
Was expecting more to be honest.
