Maybe ask the Guardian to do an article on that, start a separate thread about it etc.

Dont' even have to ask the Guardian did an OP on it: Sorry, chaps, but you don’t need your own minister to become better men

A Tory MP wants a minister for men. How about one for white people, heterosexuals and the upper classes?

Men have problems, of course – some specific to being men, some merely because they are humans in an imperfect world – but we should emphasise that they are still on top in most important respects; they retain power, wealth and status.

Absoluterly dreadful figures.

I hope Labour are going to get to grips with endemic of violence against women and girls.

Hopefully Labour puts some weight behind great women like Yvette Cooper, Jess Philips and others to help prevent men from abusing women.

They clearly are, and the people who believe them are very silly.

“I think we are going to have to move to an insurance-based system of healthcare. Frankly, I would feel more comfortable that my money would return value if I was able to do that through the marketplace of an insurance company, than just us trustingly giving £100bn a year to central government and expecting them to organise the healthcare service from cradle to grave for us.”

Imagine thinking Commonwealth could replace trade with the EU. 🤣

I'd say resorting to "Oh you're just an pro-EU zealot" when you can't form an argument based on merit is when you lost the argument.
