She's a star and thought this speech deserved its own thread. Smile

She's tremendous.

Great speech. She's an absolute star.

Thank you

Ereshkigalangcleg · 10/03/2022 17:11

Yes it absolutely deserves its own thread. Fantastic, steely, positive speech. Inspiring.

"My rights as a woman and a lesbian are not conditional on my accepting gender identity politics".

Brava Thanks

Oh she is so good.

That man MP speaking up too, thank you sir. Didn't catch his name.

FlibbertyGiblets · 10/03/2022 17:36

Oh another man speaking up, I don't know his name, either.

ATeamAmy · 10/03/2022 17:38

Tremendous! Thank you for linking, OP.

MrsIronfoundersson · 10/03/2022 17:50

Brava!

Fantastic speech - and so positive too. Thank you Joanna for your clarity and calm, for your integrity and courage. After a hard few weeks at work this is what I needed to see. We will defend women’s sex-based rights; the tide IS turning.

The guy standing to add his points was Sir Peter Bottomley - well done him

AchillesPoirot · 10/03/2022 17:53

She is awesome.

Peter Bottomley was one of the supporters of Stella Creasey in the campaign for women from Northern Ireland to have access to free abortions in England.
AchillesPoirot · 10/03/2022 17:59

Oh he has just gone up in my estimation.

BonjourMinou · 10/03/2022 18:04

Amazing speech, we'll done Joanna

Masdintle · 10/03/2022 18:09

Isn't she fab? I love her accent. I wish she mentioned Twitter as I love the way she says it

Hooray for Sir Bottomley, too. What a fab name.

Just listened to it here. We have cheered throughout. The lesbians have stood up and called it. Now where are the straight female politicians to back us up?

Coyoacan · 10/03/2022 18:18

Inspiring. Joanna Cherry combines moral fibre with huge intelligence. If I lived in Scotland, I would vote for her for First Minister.

Pluvia · 10/03/2022 18:19

Just a note that Peter Bottomley is a Conservative.

I just want to leave that there, because as a former Labour voter I have heard more good sense talked on this subject by the Conservatives than by my former party. Labour is driving women to the right.

tootiredtobother · 10/03/2022 18:20

yes she is excellent but I'm sad to see so much space on the benches around her, where is everyone ?

JulesJules · 10/03/2022 18:21

Storming speech, loved it.

I agree.
