Who are Conservatives for Women? Any clout? Applauding them from the sidelines

Just spotted this tweet under FPFW... so glad - but are they tiny? or influential? I am applauding any women of any political hue, and especially those who might be able to get something done more easily .... still reeling from the shock of SO MANY supporting ONC in doing something that was clearly illegal with such a weak case, and that it needed FPFW and all of us to stop them....

I think women in all the political groups have set up "for women" groups and are aiming to work cross party on certain issues?? . They've certainly been active and speaking out,

Judging by their occasional input on these threads they are highly organised, well-focused, and have influential friends. They also absolutely get the wider context of the fight for women's rights and language.

I'm a rampant Marxist Feminist but I'd very happily invite them to tea and cream scones in my garden once the lockdown ends. And get out the best china (if I had any best china that is).

Agreed Olderstyle They come over as very organised.

Tea and scones .... mmmmm

Labour's women network is sadly lacking.
Concerns about the erasure of 'sex' from their page outlining the CURRENT LAW on Equal have not had any form of sensible approach.,

I'm going to have to support whoever wants to stand for women.
It won't be Labour.
It won't be the Lib Dems.
It won't be the Greens.

Yes I'm impressed by the organisation and strategy of CfW. Almost makes joining the Conservatives a credible option since I'm homeless.

I've been really impressed by CfW. They've focused on Gove and the Cabinet Office role in the ONS debacle today. No-one else is trying to hold him to account.

Maybe Sarah Vine will write about this? Grin
I believe she has written some very good gc articles in recent months.

One would hope that she might have a word with her husband at breakfast. After all, he is effectively the responsible minister.

There's another account called "Conservatives for Sex not Gender". Their handle is @ ToriesForSex. LOL.
