Just starting watching this...

ZuttZeVootEeeVo · 13/12/2023 18:02

In a strange move, Kate Osborne is identifying as a stroppy 13 year old for this meeting.

I didn't know Caroline Noakes voted against gay marriage.

Signalbox · 13/12/2023 18:39

Kemi on form again.

Chariothorses · 13/12/2023 18:44

I havent watched something like this before. The committee members don't seem to know what professional behaviour is. I'm a bit shocked they are MPs to be honest.

Mollyollydolly · 13/12/2023 18:44

She's magnificent. And, no, I don't care that she's a tory. She's a fantastic role model for women and girls. She makes all those around her look like amateurs. Be more Kemi.

Kate Osborne saying that KB referred to trans as a disease.
KB calling KO a liar. This is gripping stuff.

Signalbox · 13/12/2023 18:47

KB saying that clinicians are saying they do not want to work in gender clinics.

AutumnCrow · 13/12/2023 18:51

Thanks for the link, OP.

I've said it before, I don't like KB's economic politics. But she is a shining intellect amidst Nokes and her strange gang.

Signalbox · 13/12/2023 19:00

KB says schools are teaching nonsense such as "there's no such thing as biological sex" and KO says "who says it's nonsense?"

Oh lord. 😳 How did Kemi respond to that? I have such great admiration for people who can be classy and poised in the face of this abject stupidity.

I know I would have been completely unable to control my face and god forbid I’d have to actually answer! I’d probably have said “people with 3 digit IQs.”

Tallisker · 13/12/2023 19:42

Well, Professor Sir Robert Winston, for one.

ScribblingPixie · 13/12/2023 19:45

Kate Osborne's made a terrible fool of herself from the clips I've seen.

Show quote history

There was no direct response. It did kick off though with KB accusing KO of putting words into her mouth. V enjoyable interaction.

crumpet · 13/12/2023 20:31

Kemi taking no shit and insisting on facts is a joy.

oviedo · 13/12/2023 20:43

Je suis Kemi.

PronounssheRa · 13/12/2023 20:53

I suspect kemi and I would disagree on a fair amount, but she is a rare thing amongst our current politicians, she knows her brief and is brave enough to do her own research. She towers above many around her.

EasternStandard · 13/12/2023 20:55

Not watching but she sounds great on this again

100%

bellinisurge · 13/12/2023 21:12

@PronounssheRa definitely. It's nice seeing someone who is not mediocre and third rate even if I disagree with her on most things. Apart from women's rights. She's absolutely on it and not taking any nonsense.

oviedo · 13/12/2023 21:57

Kate Osborne is infantile. Kemi was brilliant.
Nice to see a feminist scarf in the row behind herSmile

I did a tiny air punch at seeing that 😁

The link is for live viewing. Is there another way of viewing it?

I wonder if that’s part of why she’s so TWAW. She was wrong before so now wants to be on the ‘right’ side of history’. Or she’s just homophobic.

Tallisker · 13/12/2023 22:11

@Soontobe60 I've just been watching it now. I think it says 'live' but if you click play again it plays.
