I’ve been thinking a lot about the extraordinary outbursts of the President of the United States against female journalists... well, actually against journalists in general and journalism. But it feels like he saves his most childlike behavior and irrational language for female reporters, calling them all kinds of names that kids in kindergarten are given times out for. It’s stunning to me to witness such behavior from any leader, any CEO, any person of influence or importance. I’ve never witnessed someone like this raging, this weekend with @meetthepress host @kwelkernbc, just last week in the Oval Office with @cnn’s @kaitlancollins, calling women stupid or piggy, telling them to ��smile”, calling them darling, demeaning their credibility. Every good man should denounce this behavior. Every person should be able to stand up for their colleagues and say “No more.”
Imagine this man screaming like this at your daughter, your wife, your sister, your mother... would you stand for it? No, you wouldn’t! And neither should any of us. It’s unacceptable and undignified. Period. End of story.
It was terrible Mr Vice President what happened. And lessons will be learned. But here’s a thought - maybe concentrate instead on why 44000 Americans died last year from gun related deaths, and what can be done about your dreadful disease before you start lecturing others
"It is outrageous this idea that you cannot be English or British because of your ethnicity."
Sunday Times columnist Matthew Syed, who won a gold medal for England, tells #Newsnight that he finds the idea "profoundly divisive".
@montie@KemiBadenoch Tim, it does feel as if you are deflecting
The key issue is your leader's response
Let's not dance on the head of a pin about the type of rage.....the key word is rage
The key issue is the incitement that rage communicates
The key issue is the disorder and violence that resulted
'My question for Nigel Farage is - why does the family of Henry Nowak mean nothing to you?'
@Peston addresses Farage directly over his claims of 'two-tier' policing.
The Reform leader called for people to respond with ‘pure, cold rage’, despite the family's appeal for calm.
Total agreement
LE simply can’t understand the implications of Farage’s inflammatory rhetoric and just adds fuel to the fire
A disgrace of a politician
