Miriam Cates

Brilliant speech, I don't know if it's already on here. Worth a watch
I sent a card to this lady when she was on GB new the other week.

This is such a great speech. Sums it up about what is going on in schools

Very good to see this being raised in the (nearly empty) chamber of the House of Commons. For those in authority implementing the gender identity ideology, without being ultra activists, surely they must be realising that if a massive scandal breaks in a few years time the excuse of "how was I to know there was something dodgy in what I was pushing, everyone else was saying it was fine?" will be looking very threadbare.

Incidentally, here are some biographical details suggesting she might be well placed to discuss this matter and highly motivated to do so:

She studied genetics at the University of Cambridge,[5] obtained a Postgraduate Certificate in Education from Sheffield Hallam University, and worked as a science teacher in a school in Sheffield.

Obviously I did snigger at this: Member of Parliament for Penistone and Stocksbridge.

What a brilliant coherent speech that highlights what has happened as a result of allowing these lobby groups to promote their preferred versions of sexual politics at children.
Hopefully Miriam Cates (who has background much needed in parliament) will go far.

It took her like about 4 minutes to say what we have been saying

Keep out stonewall mermaids all sorts and another group out of schools

That’s what she said. Teachers to frightened to say no to these groups 🤷‍♀️

Yup littlbrowndog
And she name checked diversity role models and several other self interested adult organisations with examples of the self indulgent twaddle they're pushing at children.

Yes! Thank goodness someone is saying it

Why is there no-one in the House of Commons? What are MPs paid for?

Wow! Just that really - wow!! What a fantastic 4 minutes. I want to say Brava! but i hate that underlying that is the admission that it is brave and somehow radical to speak the truth.

Wow, what a brave woman. And yes, that was entirely unequivocal. Good for her.

And yes it's disappointing to see so few MPs there, but I think that's often the case, and perhaps more so during Covid.

One thing's for sure, that speech is going to spread like a bloody bushfire now.

Great speech.

To the point and pulls no punches,

Let's hope she gets some traction.

Yet another conservative woman speaking truth.

Ffs, I can't possibly vote Tory, can I?

Thank you, it's excellent - just a shame there weren't more MPs there to hear it!

I don't really know what Hansard is, but would this speech be transcribed into it? As a permanent record?

We have to ask ourselves, what are the chances of a Labour, LibDem or Green MP standing up and speaking like this?

[/quote] Thanks for that her story of becoming an MP is interesting, I've been toying with doing similar think she's inspired me to look further into it.

Yes - Hansard is the record of what happens in theHouse of Commons. Everything that's happened in the chamber is recorded and published - all part of an open democracy. Such a shame that all the meetings that happened in secret with the anti women lot as they pushed for the removal of women's rights weren't also transcribed.

Yes Masdintle:

Ffs, I can't possibly vote Tory, can I?

If she were my MP that would push me to do it. The commons needs more Scientists, women and people willing to stand for their beliefs, great to see all three.

Wow - she's brilliant!

It's so refreshing to see a mother in parliament who's not afraid to speak her mind and to speak up for safeguarding and for children. She has a background in teaching too, which is great.

I've checked her voting record and it's off-putting. But I'd be tempted to vote for her because of this one issue, given the poor alternatives.

Thanks for the Hansard text link. That’s a good speech naming the organisations aiming this politics at kids and saying she is trying to meet with the minister about it. Excellent.
I’m a Labour voter and I just wish they could be even half as child-focused and safe-guarding focused in this area as that one MP is.

I would vote for her. Spineless Labour MPs pretending there is no problem.
