It’s so revealing that he thinks this is what “boys club” refers to.
Should we really be surprised by the Labour party’s “boys club”?

Tragic and more than a little pathetic that he comes from one of the great multicultural democracies - a country that fought tooth and nail to become one at the exact time he was coming of age - yet he mocks the very concept.
"American culture, with its English-Scotts-Irish origin, is great and worth fighting for."

Every single person involved in this hate campaign and everyone who has supported them - Anas Sarwar, for example - needs to be run out of public life the way they've run Dr Upton out the NHS. Being trans isn't a risk factor for people around you; this obsessive hate absolutely is.
Susan Smith of For Women Scotland is quoted in this piece saying that Dr Upton leaving the NHS will be "a relief to female patients."
The employment tribunal found that Upton had done nothing wrong! She was completely innocent of any kind of harassment!

I do think you can probably short circuit a lot of this by recognising that popular imagination of those groups of voters were women, and neither of the major parties can really cope with that threat to their masculine energy...
As a Labour MP said to me last week: ‘obviously if you get 34 per cent you need to ask “how to get more votes” and we basically looked at three groups of voters, for different reasons it offended the egos in No 10 to go after them, and here we are’.

Din Djarin acquires “the same model” of Razor Crest in THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU as he had previously, confirms Jon Favreau.
“He's in a Razor Crest now, which is the ship that he originally had. He's in the same model of ship.”

Sultana is taking this line a lot and I have two worries about it: first, it trivialises a horrifying and serious situation and reduces it to a factional smear, with some infantile pleasure in using the epithet. Cf the 'besties with a nonce' line in the chamber.
Utterly moronic comment.
