Labour have had two different female leaders of the party (on three occasions), the Tories three. OK they were both interim leaders but they aren't as adverse to female leaders as your post would suggest Also, since Thatcher / Kinnock Labour have had less Leaders than the Tories, so in the modern era (for want of a better term), they've had less opportunity to elect women leaders. (6 vs 9). Two of the female Tory leaders have been elected in the last 6 years EDIT Also the female Leaders became Interim Leader because they were the elected Deputy Leader of the party at the time of the leader's resignation, which casts further shade on the accusation of seixism in the choice of females in the upper echelons of power in the Labour Party. The Tories don't even elect Deputy Leaders. Labour have had three elected female Deputy Leaders

Wordle 493 4/6* Well that was kinda lucky on the 4th go

It’s pretty obvious now where his allegiances are. Blokes a word removed

I just looked at my options on the App

Bookies for the full hit

So your doctors has 1 appointment a week from now and another in 11 days time You don’t think that seems like a broken system?

Had to Mooney him, still none the wiser

Haven't seen it either but he's only ever decent at public speaking when its practiced. Start asking him questions and he's a rabbit in the headlights. I doubt he had much time to practice his speech today

I knew you'd come back with the predictable humour but again you know I'm right even on that point.

Good point, but you'd suspect that attacking an active gas pipeline between two NATO countries would be considered an act of war.

Ok walk down the street bollocko and I think you probably feel a little insecure

Don't we have a supply deal with Norway anyway? Sure I read that somewhere?

He's useless as a public speaker, as soon as he has to go off piste, he panics

Thanks for the U-turn To protect us from UV rays To make us feel secure in our surroundings To keep us dry etc Clothes are a basic necessity for human survival Some people can afford them to be fashionable, others can't but they still need clothes, ones with backs to them too Just admit it, your point was silly in the first place

You are wrong you know, when you can't afford fashionable clothes, you still need to wear clothes Fashionable is a secondary not primary function of clothing

Not really wanting to get involved in the tats discussion but that's a shit argument unless your tats keep you warm

She doesn't say she's gleeful because Johnson has withdrawn

Emmanuel Macron will be delighted, someone he can just about look down on

On principal, this is entirely incorrect. I honestly thought the Tories would be wise enough to nominate Mordaunt just to have a contest to put to the membership. Now they have their own members backs up for being cut out of the decision making and those members have a legitimate point. It will be hard to motivate the troops at the next General Election to get out and do the grunt work It is incredibly bad politics, they'll get attacked, internally and externally for this Angela Rayner has already chimed in with the fact that the PM wasn't even elected by his own party, let alone the country

Yes, sorry, my mistake and those are T-90s

He was in the TA you know... (Tiny Army)

Someone should tell all the other Parties that. I don't see how you can have a Democratic Party without all the elements of that party having a say in a leadership contest. The Tories used to be the outlier in that they didn't. Before 1965 they didn't even have a vote amongst MPs Having a leader elected solely by MPs is not a good look in a modern democracy

8 Armatas supposedly heading for Ukraine. Possibly Russia's entire working inventory I guess we'll see how brilliant it is against NATO weaponry soon enough
