... makes no mention of her standing at the Dispatch Box in Parliament saying TWAW TMAM.

Tell us you've changed your mind , Penny, or don't bother.

It’s arrogant beyond belief to say you’re listening to everyone, especially women, and your starting point is the very opposite of everything the women are saying. Hopefully she’s cocked it up but good. Even Owen Jones has turned on her in favour of Grant Shapps, which has to hurt.

I bet Penny Mordaunt feels shit about it too.😆😆😆

My MP had Penny's video on her Facebook page,and was extolling her virtues. I didn't see it,but a lot of people were commenting that it seemed in poor taste ,was like an episode of Brass Eye,and should be removed.I commented that she couldn't be a feminist because of her work on the Maternity bill. Today the whole thing has been taken down,with just pictures of Penny being posted instead.
It must have been really bad. I wish I had watched it now.😂

Ramblingnamechanger · 11/07/2022 19:37

Andrea Leadsome giving full on support to Penny, on Channel 4 just now, also trying to draw a line at legal woman, those with a GRC presumably . No discussion to discuss the problems of allowing any male born person having access to women and girls, and the interviewer gave up after several goes at ‘are TW women?’ It would be really good if eg the problems of disabled girls and women needing care were addressed, to name just one likely point of conflict.

achillestoes · 11/07/2022 19:41

It’s not good enough to just trot out what they believe the law says. The law doesn’t declare transwomen “women”, it says people who legally transition to female are are entitled to be treated as female for most legal purposes. They need to get on top of that and stop gaslighting us.

TooBigForMyBoots · 11/07/2022 20:12

Is Legal woman different to Biological woman when it comes to rights and single sex spaces?Confused Or are they the same?ConfusedConfusedConfused

The Mumsnet webchat demonstrates that it isn't just the TWAW parroting that is Penny's problem.
As I recall, she was supposed to answer questions specifically about women, many of them not about trans at all.
First she refused to appear, then she sent in something that looked like a junior had scribbled it down.
She was invited because, at the time, she was Women and Equalities minister (though I think she may have lost that office by the time her answers appeared).

TooBigForMyBoots · 11/07/2022 20:28

She shifted office and still managed to shoehorn Trans agenda into her departments. She stayed in the Conservative government, promoting TWAW at every opportunity.

I have to say I'm a bit Confused at FWR regulars not knowing this.

Twitter showing a range of polls putting Mordaunt first.

Worrying.

KittenKong · 11/07/2022 21:22

That’s Twitter though. A while different world in there.

HatefulHaberdashery · 11/07/2022 23:24

The Polls are from Conservative Home, I think everyone should get in on the letter writing to their MP's who are Tory, reminding them that Penny Mordaunt tried to erase the word mother and woman from the Maternity Allowance Bill, and is being called out by Suella Braverman on this.

We're currently getting rid of one MP for his lack of integrity, Tories would do well not to elect another MP who's also a consistent liar, and wants to form policy that will impact loads of women because her brother is Trans Activist.

Mordaunt's performance on Mumsnet as reviewed by the Independent:

‘Penny Mordaunt ducked & ran… ‘
.., tells you all you need to know doesn’t it?!

😭

Ramblingnamechanger · 12/07/2022 00:38

And that from the Independent too!

Hugo Rifkind is also talkign about PM in the Times:

I don't think he grasps the issue really.

teawamutu · 12/07/2022 10:02

Have read the Times today and listened to the BBC - very little mention of Mordaunt, it's all Sunak, Truss, possibly Patel.

Interesting.

Those commenting in the Times do though!

Needmoresleep · 12/07/2022 11:15

The problem it seems, is that Penny and her supporters think her "liberal" views will appeal to young people. Just like Labour, the SNP, the LibDems, and indeed organisations like the BBC.

Trouble is that when it comes to general elections older people tend to vote for grown ups and younger people tend not to turn out. And one day these younger voters will become older and wiser and realise they were gaslit.

He hasn't got a clue. No, women won't go away and shut up, because a bunch of clueless men haven't bothered to find out about GRA Reform, Self ID and its impacts on women, Gay and Bisexual People and Children.

This statement really pissed me off:

"his tortured demeanour of “can’t this question just go away and leave me alone?” probably captures the broad public mood far better than pitiless, declamatory clarity in either direction."

No Dear, when you are trying to reduce women to second class citizenship, belittle homosexuality so lesbians are subjected to coercive sexual misconduct, and teenagers are convinced to sterilise themselves, and lop off physically healthy body parts, its not bloody going away!

bellinisurge · 12/07/2022 11:43

I love how the usual suspects have all turned on her for her recent vid.

Just watched Kemi Badenoch's launch. She's doing Johnson's trick of trying to appeal beyond party lines. She should give Mordaunt pause for thought. And probably Starmer too.

Plenty of things in her speech that made me twitch because it was very Tory. Plenty in her speech that scored some strong points.

So, hang on, is this the spoof or the real thing?

Surely this is not the actual ad?

Its nuts 😂

Ohnohedident · 12/07/2022 11:49

I love Kemi but not sure if I should vote for her or Javid? Kemi is very new to politics.

achillestoes · 12/07/2022 11:55

@Ohnohedident

As a member you’ll only be able to vote for one of the two leading candidates.

achillestoes · 12/07/2022 11:56

Julie Bindel backs Kemi.
