@John Jones. No, a PM should aim to deliver for the working class, including in the rest of the continent, and the world. For the have nots, not the have yachts.

I don’t think Harriet Harman realises just how insulting her patronising tone is.

The duty of any government is to deliver for all the people where gender, race and sexual orientation are irrelevant. Stupid muttering like that are at least part of the reason why this silly person has spent a considerable amount of time as interim leader with no prospect of becoming leader.

She really mustn’t. A Prime Minister should aim to deliver for the country as a whole, not focusing on one gender, one ethnic group or any other discrete sub-set of the population which the identity-obsessed Left currently regard as being especially deserving of patronising favouritism.

Meanwhile back in the real world of government the Tories have just produced their second and Britain’s second female Prime Minister, while Labour, the party of tedious women-only rules and positive discrimination, at least let Harriet Harperson drive round the country in a pink bus at the last election, just to show what Labour really thinks about women’s place in politics….
