If your response to people leaving the Labour Party this morning is “good riddance” - then you’re part of the problem.

Watch out for the next level of criticism - that those highlighting the sexism are too “emotional”
I’d hoped that the sexist tropes my & prior generations had to put up with would’ve been well in the past by now. But here we have a smart, articulate woman - holding senior government office - still being told she’s a ‘shouty’ girl for (perfectly calmly) expressing her opinions.
