But isn't that the the same as what's said about Abbott? If they were white men they would probably just called posh and great orators.

Boris is definitely not as smart as he makes himself sound... and as somebody pointed out, Thatcher/May were humiliated, with male Tory leaders often being able to leave quietly.
Could be a hefty dose of sexism involved as well, I agree.

I personally disagree. Maybe because I just haven't seen anybody who knows Abbott personally saying that she's stupid. A huge amount of the shit that Abbott gets is linked back to a single instance where she muddled up some numbers rather than observations from people who work with her. At least from what I've noticed, which of course could be missing something.
For what its worth I think its abhorrent to call anybody stupid and something that we all should probably do a bit less.

To be fair, I know several people who worked with her in the past and all seem to agree that shes lacking in various forms of intelligence. I agree its disingenuous to describe her as "thick", but she's not somebody who understands something the first time its explained to her...lets put it like that.
She's a good blagger who shouts and bullies to impose her authority. Some people see that as intelligence and success. See Trump's supporters.
