A piece from Guido Fawkes, concerning a tweet about Kemi Badenoch by Ben Cohen of Pink News. She said this in the Commons today:

“I’m afraid that this particular individual is someone who uses Twitter as a tool for defamation; he has even sued people in this house like the hon. Member for Edinburgh West – or he’s been sued by, pardon me, the hon. Member for Edinburgh West. What I would like to say, Mr Speaker, as we do begin a new era of equalities is that the equality act is a shield not a sword. It is there to protect people of all characteristics whether they’re young or old, male or female, black or white, gay or straight, we are running a compasionate equalities strategy and we should not be distracted by people who use Twitter as a way to insult or accuse Members of Parliament.”

“Male or female”, eh? She’s the new Minister for Women & Equalities, a role held (other than for a period of seven weeks, recently) by women only for the past 25 years. No anti-male sexist bias there, for sure…
