Just published by the BBC. An extract:

A spokesman for the home secretary said: “In what was always understood as a private conversation, James, the home secretary tackling spiking, made what was clearly meant to be an ironic joke – for which he apologises.”

Cleverly has made a rookie mistake, apologising for an ironic joke in a private conversation. As always, the apology will only encourage the miserable harpies to attack him further. Another extract:

Senior Labour party figures have described the comments as “appalling”. Shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper said spiking – putting alcohol or drugs in someone’s drink or body without their consent – was a “disturbing and serious crime which is having a devastating impact on young women’s lives”. It is truly unbelievable that the home secretary made such appalling jokes on the very same day the government announced a new policy on spiking,” she added. And charity Women’s Aid said political leaders were relied upon to “take action to end violence against women and girls, and the misogyny that underpins it”. “It is vital that spiking survivors see ministers treating the subject seriously and not downplaying the reality so many women face,” it said on X.

When will senior politicians strap on a pair and refuse to bend a knee to feminists driven by visceral misandry (I repeat myself), who only want to destroy them? Don’t hold your breath.
