Furious female Labour MPs urge Starmer to make a woman his de facto deputy

Furious female Labour MPs have told Keir Starmer to appoint a woman as his de facto deputy to oversee a “complete culture change” in Downing Street after a series of scandals they say have exposed a No 10 “boy’s club”.

Harriet Harman, one of the party’s most senior figures, urged Starmer to revive the role of first secretary of state, a post previously occupied by Peter Mandelson under Gordon Brown. But she insisted the role must be held by a woman to “transform the political culture in government around women and girls”.

Ahh yes, pick a girl because she is a girl, no one needs to be the best anymore, it is all about physical features. Bigotry is so in vogue with the leftists, then again it never went out of style.

They think Two Tier Free Gear is calling the shots...

I nominate Eva Vlaardingerbroek.

Angela Rayner, Rachel Reeves, Shabana Mahmoud, et al...

The UK’s Deep State doesn’t hire the female front office appearance types for brains, either.

““transform the political culture in government around women and girls”.”

The feminization of the western world is why it is in death spiral conquered by turd world trash.

I would have given a one word response. No.

[Leaning Right]

Couldn’t Starmer just self-identify as a woman? That should satisfy Ms. Harman.

And if Starmer then dons a burka, that would increase his support among the Muslims invaders.

It would be a win-win all the way around.

[Fido969]

Just tell those broads to “calm down”.

[MinorityRepublican]

I would have given a one word response. No.

If Starmer said "no".

Then we'll have to give him some credit.

Which is a rare ocassion.

AWFULs on the march making demands. I would call this an in house communist kerfuffle.

“Furious female Labour MPs urge Starmer to make a woman his de facto deputy”

hey, keir, pick a woman then, any woman apparently would do ...

[Dr. Sivana]

Her milkshake brings the boys to her yard?

She's a married lady with a child now, so be careful. (she managed to find a fellow with an even longer last name: Francesco Gargallo di Castel Lentini) I have the advantage of having married a blonde Catholic 1/2 Dutch woman, so to the degree I have a type, she meets it. But I have also listened to her at length, and she is very, very knowledgeable and intelligent.)

[Dr. Sivana]

Ewa Zajączkowska Hernik Well, I married a blonde Catholic half Dutch girl, but my mother is a Catholic half-Polish lady named Eva and (orginally) dark brown hair, so I can't contradict your suggestion.

[toddausauras]

More crazy control freak women making horrible decisions. Just what our world needs.

[dfwgator]

Here she is, tearing Ursula a new one....
