Rayner Pleads For Muslim Votes

[fender62]

looking at the vid of rayner in a room full of muslim men, you could only imagine the disdain they would have for her for being a women, let alone pleading begging promising gaza this or that, but its the gaza bit i do not like, almost sectarian and not about policy as such, the face of labour ermm

Shock as a Labour MP tries to win the next election ...

[teacher1]

I like part of what she said ....... and IF Labour get into power ..... lol

[Hazi-Hammenuhoth]

Has she told them the Labour Party has "changed"?!

[Hymie]

Is it Muslim men (or just men in general), that I have to imagine the distain they would have for her being a woman?

"Is it Muslim men (or just men in general), that I have to imagine the distain they would have for her being a woman?"

Well...

"looking at the vid of rayner in a room full of muslim men, you could only imagine the disdain they would have for her for being a women,..."

What do you reckon?

[naomi24]

Labour's going to work miracles where no one else can.  Nothing new then.  

[Hymie]

Am I to conclude from this thread, that Muslim men have a greater distain for women than non-Muslim men?

[New Judge]

"Am I to conclude from this thread, that Muslim men have a greater distain for women than non-Muslim men?"

I think you can. In general that's a reasonable conclusion, with or without this thread.

But remember that's in general. It doesn't mean that all Muslim men have a greater distain for women than all non-Muslim men.

I read something this morning that suggested once Labour win the election - if they win it - Starmer will be out on his ear and replaced by a more suitable and farther left leader - Angela.  Now there's a prospect! 

[Ellipsis]

You mean like Johnson being replaced with Truss ...

[naomi24]

I didn't mean that - but now you mention it ....

[New Judge]

"I read something this morning that suggested once Labour win the election - if they win it - Starmer will be out on his ear and replaced by a more suitable and farther left leader - Angela.  Now there's a prospect! "

They have form for it, naomi. The 1981 Greater London Council election saw Labour, led by "Centrist" Andrew McIntosh elected

not sure they could do that - at least not straight away....

"Labour MPs cannot formally hold a vote of confidence in the leader. However, they may initiate a leadership challenge each year prior to the annual session of Party conference.

An MP wishing to challenge an incumbent leader must be supported by 20% of Labour MPs. If enough support is gathered to initiate a stage two membership ballot, the incumbent leader is automatically on the ballot paper, and they do not need to seek nominations from MPs."

[New Judge]

...with a narrow majority. One day after the election Mr McIntosh was ousted by the new GLC members by 30 votes to 20.

I don't think there is quite so much of a chance of that happening to Sir Kier. Any challenger must gain support of 20% of Labour MPs before a vote among members of the party takes place. I'm not so sure there will be that many renegade MPs.

surprised she didn't wear a Burka!

[david small]

Contemptuous of these traitors who'd sell their birthright for a turn in the trough. Reform is needed.

[sandyRoe]

Didn't TGL wear suitably modest garb when she visited Saudi Arabia?

[naomi24]

sandyRoe, Maggie Thatcher did what we're all obliged to do when visiting places where restrictive rules based on Sharia Law exist - but that doesn't mean such rules are to be applauded.  It's a matter of self- preservation - a spell in jail being the alternative.

[Peter Pedant]

come on come on, if you wanted to hear il papa talk about well, THAT, you would have to be modestly dressed. Shoulders covered, no bikini

Papa Francesco: «C'è già troppa frociaggine». Il no ai seminaristi gay nell'assemblea con i vescovi italiani.

Krakow, I had to wear a kepa ( skull  cap) to visit the  triple synagogue the  Germans burnt down ( 1940-ish). "I am a christian" no matter they  said

and so we see reader there are dress codes the  world over

[teacher1]

If Angela became leader would she be in The HOUSE of Commons or The HOUSE of Lords?    Which one would she sell?
