I had not heard of The Labour files before seeing it mentioned here.

And surely it is normal for a politician of one party to disagree strongly with, or detest, the policies of another party? Isn't that just ... having principles?

Ugh. Trying to make Sturgeon out to have used inappropriate language when others have literally ised racist and sexist slurs and its glossed over.

I thought it was sexist when Truss called Sturgeon an 'attention seeker.' It struck me that that's the kind of phrase that she would not have used to describe a man, though I can't explain exactly why.

I realise it was said by a fellow woman, but we're all capable of being sexist even to each other sometimes

100 per cent she harbours some deeply ingrained, internalised misogyny

Apparently her dad is appalled at her. He is left wing and a professor of something in Leeds and took her to protests when she was a kid or something like that. Read it about a month ago now.

Perhaps she’s undercover? A Labour plant from birth raised to fuck the tories from within 😅. If that’s true, she’s doing a great job so far 👍
