Indeed. Don't have a problem with her getting together a group of women, it's the fact that she says she's doing it because they're women.

I am so glad the footie season has started, as I have now lost all interest in Brexit and respect for MP's. I think Parliament should be disbanded until the vote on Halloween and all talk of Brexit banned on all media outlets!
No way...... you say 49% voted leave therefore only 23% voted remain assuming turnout of women same as men 72%

It is understandable that those who chose not to vote for good reasons or bad, are not included in the figures for the referendum or for a GE.
The idea sounds stupid but she's got the media (including the BBC) talking about a national unity government. She might be being very clever. Remember Boris Johnson talking about making model buses? That took his Brexit bus promise down the Google search results. Maybe they are playing the same game by being ridiculous.
Also, I don't like your tone.

Presumably Alex 'smiley miley' Scott will be named Chancellor in the Lucas cabinet?
We might as well suggest a Cabinet of NSC'ers.
Now that would provide complete and utter bedlam!
At least it wouldn't be the total, complete, outright, unmitigated, sheer and utter bedlam it is at the moment.

Not quite. 49% of the people who voted to leave were women.
As for the rest of it, the idea of a National Unity govt is a good one, though probably three years too late. CL's approach to it is daft, and makes the message about anything other than unity.
Three nil eh...!
So what you mean is 35% of women voted leave !! being 49% of those who voted (72%).

I don't think she's helping her cause.

strong and stable with me, or...
Ha-ha, no mail order brides here, just one old bird I have been married to for over 31 years!
I do admit to having a bit of 'previous' though, as I got married too young to a lovely girl many moons ago. We divorced over 40 years ago, but still remain friends!
Comfortable yes, but three kids and so far, just one grandchild, will ensure I shall never be rich; but yes, I am a good chap and modest with it, as well.

She know's she's F***ed up, so at least she's apologising for doing so.
Done her party a lot of harm in the short term, as it hardly sends out an 'inclusive' message.
Caroline,' when you are in a hole' etc.
