• I know Kemi. She is the wife of someone I went to university with.

    He, at least, is horribly right wing. I have no reason to think she is any different.

    Also worth bearing in mind how wet behind the ears she is. I am not 100% sure how the young, black, female Tory MP got given such a comparativly senior job in her first year in parliament...

  • I can't think...

    But being wet behind the ears is no excuse for such a heinous lapse in basic decency. It shows a pretty fundamental lack of judgement.

    For me this isn't about the fact the Tories can't be trusted as such: although this is certainly a case where they can't. It's about the shameful fact that in the 21st century a female politician has to change the day she's chosen to give birth because her workplace is so desperately in need of reform that's it's not possible for her absence to be covered. Then she gets accused of pulling a stunt.

    It's shameful.
