Green MP Caroline Lucas has come up with a madcap scheme to form an
all-female emergency cabinet to stop Brexit.
It would include the brightest and best of the female MPs. Presumably
not Diane Abbott.
Among the women Ms Lucas has invited to join her are Labour's shadow
foreign secretary Emily Thornberry, Liberal Democrat leader Jo Swinson,
Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, Conservative MP Justine
Greening, and Plaid Cymru Westminster leader Liz Saville Roberts.
The others are: Heidi Allen, Kirsty Blackman, Yvette Cooper, Sylvia
Hermon, and Anna Soubry. She has asked to meet the 10 women in the
coming days.
Can anyone find anything complimentary to say about this plan? I can see
that it's probably a Cunning Plan to sideline Jeremy Corbyn by offering
places only to females. But why should females have a monopoly of
Brexit-related wisdom?
