Women are suffering more than men, proportionately, from the cuts, and there is his habit of patronising women in parliament, even if it is cross-party (his rudeness, at least, is democratic). He said "calm down dear" to Labour MP Angela Eagle during a debate; it was Prospect who compared him to a private gynaecologist and he is in that incarnation, all bulging blue eyes and false concern. Last week he called his own MP Nadine Dorries "frustrated" during prime minister's questions. He then giggled and apologised ? government by U-turn and giggle.

He not doing women any favours with attitude.

Women are suffering more than men, proportionately, from the cuts


UUUURRGH! More of this Fawcett Society crap. Women are 'suffering' proportionally more than men because women *benefit* proportionally more than men from government spending. More women than men are employed by the PS. Plus also the FS mistakenly included child benefit payments as female income.


I didn't hear any complaints during the good years that men were benefiting less from Budget announcements.


As someone once quipped, if there was a major catastrophe the Guardian headline would read, "WORLD COMING TO END - WOMEN DISPROPORTIONATELY AFFECTED.

It not just the cuts Lol it is the way he perceives women that old Tory hooray henry type the little women at home thing going on. I think the reason why women voters are put off him is women in tend bare a grudge when you piss them off not to mention his patronising comments recently.
As for the other stuff, I think he is realising it is a problem. The PR people are onto it (though the list of stuff released yesterday to attract the female vote was rather laughable). He'll change his spots quickly enough now he realises it could cost him votes.

Ah yes, this is the one where the slow news day at the Guardian took this completely out of context. Did anyone see Nadine Dorries on Newnight after this?


And I say this as someone who isn't a fan of Cameron either.

I wasn't using this as an opportunity to take a pop at the paper, it happened to be the only one that I'd read and was able to comment upon. As I said, Newsnmight will put you straight on the Nadine Dorries story. No need to be so defensive Guardianistas.


Nuclear war every 28 days!!!!!!!!!!


PS politicians changing their spots when they realise it could cost them votes?! Pass the smellng salts please :)

    • a (clean) nappy/pamper, it was like it had snowed in the garden.  The absorbent stuff inside spread everywhere.  Can I have my gardening gloves back please.
    • They've left all kinds of things in my garden including gardening gloves and shoes, not to mention scavenged food and packaging. Once they left an unopened vacuum pack of smoked trout, the next day some pita bread. All a bit biblical.
    • From memory foxes only became a regular sight in the 90s, the attached article says they first appeared in the 30s becoming far more common in the 80s.  Apparently, whilst we think that urban foxes live longer than rural due to their 'easy' life few will make it over the age of two.  In towns they are far more crowded than their natural habitat where they are more territorial. I've never seen foxes and cats fighting but once saw two cats squaring up to each other and a watching fox went up and butted its head against one of the cats.  There's a video on youtube of a cat and fox facing off when the cat is eating outside, but it wont let me embed on this post.  Get too close and I'll scratch you. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/oct/15/urban-foxes-are-they-fantastic-or-a-growing-menace My main issue is leaving things out like gardening gloves and they go or are shredded.  One stole a bag of bird food in front of me, took it next door, shredded the bag and then left it.  
    • I was trying to remember when Franklins moved to Lordship Lane from Walworth Road where it was combined with an antique/bric a brac shop. Mid 1990s, first wave ED gentrification?
