Political misogyny means women lose out whatever decisions they make on their family planning.
It’s all very well teaching young girls they’re at their most fertile in their late teens and early twenties. But that’s not the only consideration.
If the state wants to encourage women to have kids before they’re in a stable relationship or financially able to support them, then (1/2)
I hold no rank or status worthy of a statement in support of the PM.
But apropos of nothing, I’ve just been on a work call about mortgages and the presenter said “I don’t wish to get political but there was some concern yesterday that if there was a change of PM, interest rates would increase”.

This reminded me of when Bill McLaren used to exclaim “and they’ll be dancing in the streets of Sedburgh/Barnard Castle/[insert player’s independent school] tonight!” every time an international rugby player scored a try bsky.app/profile/nyti...
Early exit polls suggest the new pope did particularly well with male voters aged 45-79.
