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 :)

    • If you google Lulu London, it is a hairdresser on the kings road… could it still be a hairdresser which offers a glass of fizz? 
    • An update, and at the bottom of the article ways to get involved and have a voice. National 'conversation' responses close 14th Jan.  https://www.specialneedsjungle.com/leaks-denials-fake-conversations-not-inspire-parental-confidence-send/ Closer to home, Councillor Ali has conducted a review of parent and child experiences of exclusions in Southwark and reports back to those who contributed at a dated TBC in January. If it is a date which I can attend then I'll share feedback. If not, is anyone else going who could let me know what is said?
    • I’m not an expert either but surely having that high of affordable housing would seem like a terrible investment. My guess is that they will pay southwark a fine then make the rest of it student housing too
    • For some strange reason, hubby likes to spend 'big' on family cards birthday and Christmas. I think it may have stemmed from his mother- she equated money with status and was a bit of a snob!  She was also quite eccentric - we asked for a suitcase one year and got a set of 4. One year she gave hubby the equivalent of a hearing aid - it was a device to hear bird song. Nobody we know send expensive cards. We have a twice yearly set of cards from the Foot and Mouth Painting Artists and have done for the last 30 plus years. I think they are around £12 for set of 10  - cannot remember what we paid this winter but they are fantastic value and beautiful paintings.  One of the best places around to buy cards is the Fair Trade Centre at Christ Church Barry Road. Fantastic selection with a starting price of £1.30.
