I never thought I'd be so admiring of a Conservative leader. It's just such a shame she's in charge at a time when they have no chance of getting into office for years.
Also, isn't there somethihng really odd about the fact that the Conservatives have had so many "firsts" without needing to make it all about DEI/affirmative action etc? For a long time we all just discounted Margaret Thatcher as being almost the exception that proved the rule, but that really can't be the case any more: not just Liz Truss and Theresa May, but also Rishi Sunak, and then a little lower in the hierarchy there's James Cleverly, Sajid Javid and Kwasi Kwarteng: And in fact it even goes way back to Gladstone, when having a Jewish PM was probably pretty shocking.
Labour only ever seem to name women or ethnic minorities as a "gift" to those groups, as if we're meant to be grateful to them for doing it. I'm beginning to wonder if I've been wrong all these years about who is actually most likely to help women and minorities to get on in life.
