Weird interview with Rachel Reeves on the Newsagents I just listened to (think it was yesterday's). They asked her about whether Labour should be apologising to Rosie Duffield after the publishing of the Cass report.
If you don't remember, Rosie Duffield complained about not being supported by the party after receiving multiple complaints about being transphobic by members of her staff. She has also joined panels run by LGB Alliance and displayed gender critical ideology on numerous occasions, as well as there being incidents of other homophobia and attacks on non-binary people. I don't think she has been suspended or the whip removed, although there have been investigations into her about a couple of these issues.
Definitely seems that the transgender voices that felt upset and scared by what will follow the Cass report are being proven correct when a podcast that is normally fairly anti-culture wars is using the report as a way to defend someone who is blatantly transphobic.

They’re going to have so much egg on their face if they ever discover that Mitchell & Webb sketch

Ahh haven't we all been there where we've been given a job where you get paid to do fuck all but you have to show that you've been doing something when someone starts asking questions?

Good. I’m glad our minister for common sense is demonstrating just how important that role is. Hopefully when she sees a rainbow outside she goes out and starts screaming at it to go away.

I've started googling rainbow lanyards.
Also, is this going to ban all interest groups in civil service? So no Muslim group, but also no Christians surely. What about book clubs?

I'm sure the minister for common sense has thought this through fully...

I can't help but think Orwell would find "minister for common sense" too on the nose.

Let’s start by revoking the utterly fatuous “Minister Of Common Sense” post.

No concussion excuse when you’re a kicker I’m afraid. This one’s 100% on God.

[br I was going to post that to say Harrison Butlicker indeed. You have to almost admire his pride in being an absolute shit. In ALL areas. Sexist, homophobic, transphobic, I wouldn't be surprised if he's racist too but seeing as the league has a more than a few black people he probably keeps that quiet.

I guess he wanted to reference Taylor Swift in his bigoted little diatribe, to show that he's down with the kids, but couldn't find any of her lyrics that supported the "women = housewives" bullshit he was spewing; accordingly, he had to settle for a generic turn of phrase that even the most ardent Swiftie wouldn't attribute solely to her.

To quote Taylor Swift, who's dating your teammate and has her legions of fans who aren't as bigoted as you, is just asking for trouble. No doubt he'll be lauded a hero for being unafraid to speak his mind

Massive is probably overstating it. There's definitely a Facebook movement for it but outside of that most of the proponents are the twitter ghouls gasping and gurning for relevance. I'd be very surprised if it's a reality

I didn't realise that it was traditional for wives to sleep under the bed, but okay.
What would you like for tea?

Tradwives cook for their husbands, not the other way around, that's pure Beta. Get on the sofa, drink beer, watch sport and barely acknowledge me. Your egg and chips will be ready soon.

Does this include Grilling? Because Grilling seems like a very manly thing to do and I'm not sure women would find it fulfilling. Possibly only Outdoor Grilling is manly though.
