The Green MP, Caroline Lucas, has thrown down the gauntlet to 10 high-profile female politicians over blocking a no-deal Brexit, proposing a cabinet of national unity including Labour’s Emily Thornberry, the Liberal Democrat leader, Jo Swinson, and the former Conservative cabinet minister Justine Greening to seek legislation for a fresh referendum.
If that happened they would spend all day bitching and moaning
To think this is the mainstream left.
Claimants facing losing their benefit on review, or on being transferred from incapacity benefit, as plans to make the ESA medical much harder to pass are approved by the secretary of state for work and pensions, Yvette Cooper.
Insane, narcissistic petit bourgeois drone appointed itself Queen of All Britain just because it's better than all the little peasants. Her and the vilest women in establishment Britain.
Is that tongue in cheek?
Just goes to show she is a discriminatory woman
Is it April 1st?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣💩💩💩
& shame on Guardian for giving platform to such extreme views. All men are not bad, some of them are even competent. As to Lucas, se only specialises in fantasy politics.
This woman Caroline Lucas is outrageous. Her party had one MP & she fancies herself as future PM! Beyond joke!! Unbelievable!!!
That is so sexist it is shocking
More accurately - CarolineLucas calls for emergency female cabinet to block democracy.
Anyone else noticed that Brighton, the only place the environment friendly TheGreenParty is in charge, is a complete shit hole?
Presumably only if said women agree with Caroline. What a joke.
😂😂
Caroline Lucas is cancelled
A little sexist? I’m totally offended 🙈
To block Brexit. A cabinet all remainers, all women. Pathetic transparent idiocy
Sexism is alive and well on the left
Sexist
Ever heard of democracy? Ever heard of sex discrimination ?
Transgender cabinet please . That would be representative .
Unfortunately, it’s not surprising that the Guardian has completely failed to pick up on the cabinet’s lack of diversity.
Putting the Nazi in FemiNazi.
CarolineLucas I am in full support, we need people like you to run our government, we want a government that stands for the people, listening to what we need and what's best for our country now and for the future, there is no such place in government for those who want a No Deal
Thats nice, they could bake cakes for their little meetings
Equality appears to have gone too far...
The arrogance of believing the exclusion of the entire male species in such a defining decision is acceptable, says it all deluded
Let’s have an LGBTQ+-BBCITVSKYWORZELLGUMMAGE,or whatever they are calling themselves now, cabinet, to deal with, well, you get my drift.
lots of dessent from the usual suspects on this. personally, i think this idea is allwhite.
This has nothing to do with women. This is about Corbyn. Take it seriously.
White, liberal, middle-class women only!
ALL women are good. ALL women are therefore remainers. ALL women think the same way. Lol.
What a load of rubbish that does nothing to advance her cause
jon_bartley As a new Green councillor I think this is shameful from the leading light of the party.
🙄🤡
The ministry for silly walks?
Maybe, but it wouldn't be what any reasonable person would call equality. What happened to having the best person for the job?
So that's what you call equality?
And this will help how?
An all-female cabinet. Yes, that'll stop the infighting
Absurd
Complete nonsense of course. Aggregating opinion by sex doesn’t solve our problems - it’s just another way to pretend that the real decision hasn’t been made. We’re leaving and under Article 50 the EU is obliged to “conclude a deal” - you’ve rejected their current offer - DOH!!
What an utter lunatic. Matron, matron! Please get her back to the ward.
🤡🤡the clown train that is brexit really taking no prisoners🤡🤡
Hmmm not seeing the point here... Not sure why she says women would be better in a political crisis since there are some disastrous appalling women MPs. Equally there are some amazing men MPs...
You mean she calls for a far radical left coalition to undermine the democratic vote
I bet she would say there’s no such thing as a “female” well until it suits “her”
How can you have a female cabinet when you believe gender is neutral CarolineLucas?
Our technologically illiterate and innumerate “green” leader speaks. Is the answer “unlimited immigration”?
Oh ffs, this whole gender thing is getting ridiculous...
She's totally unhinged
Drivel ... Sexist too !
This latest contrived entry on the Remainer list of 'ways to stop No Deal without involving the Leader of the Opposition' smacks of desperation. The easiest way is to get the Oppostion into temporary minority government, then use confidence & supply to try to stop No Deal.
Remember the 2 Ronnies sketch when women ruled?
Nonsense get over yourself
This might work.
who the hell does this bint thinks she speaks for? Definitely not the majority of the female population in this country. This is not a banana republic where she can just mount a coup and take over the government of this country She is nuts
Utter bollocks
Ridiculous, identity politics to overrule democracy.
I've never been so insulted in my life. I've wholeheartedly supported you, but you can feck off.
Her sanity must be called into question?
Why do the Guardian seriously entertain this crackpot?
Does she think all women voted remain? News flash. I am a woman and I voted to leave! If I had to do it again I would vote the same way
Spoken like a true Palpatine
Someone fetch her meds.
Caroline Lucas is sexist. Auto correct briefly said she was sexiest. I'm glad I proofed it before I hit post.
PATHETIC
CarolineLucas what a stupid suggestion for a stupid woman
I don't mind the idea, and they would probably do a better job of than the current lot, but no black or Asian women invited? Really?
That is very unhelpful, we need the best people gender is not relevant RevokeArticle50
Reversed sexism
Antidemocratic AND sexist ? Wow, just wow.
That’s why they are called green. Haven’t matured yet
Jesus will someone please detain her for her own good, she is clearly mentally unstable.
Is she in drugs? Are you, for printing this garbage?
Dear lady, how many Eastern European prostitutes have we imported since they joined the EU How many English ones have they displaced Unfettered immigration leads to unforeseen problems like this. Labour will always be associated with unrestricted immigration and their well
No skills? No relevant experience? Contributed to the problem and want to make it worse? Play the Green Gender card.
Grabbing at straws there aren’t we. Paper straws of course.
We can’t get a deal until we have left the Eu Unless you are talking about total surrender to the Eu
have a look at Brighton to see what happens when the greens get to try and make decisions.....
This is the 21st century, we dont do sexist
Got to love the comedy capers of the loony greens
Sexism is ok when it’s CarolineLucas doing it
And our women leaders have been great for this country so far - Thatcher and May! No thanks
'Caroline Lucas calls for emergency white female cabinet to block no-deal Brexit' - there, I've fixed it for you.
Not sexist at all. I imagine it’d be a different story if this were a man saying the same thing.... 🤔
Maybe we should think more about what the people think and say the will do rather than say, one dimension like their gender? Surely it would be better off to, you know, judge people on their ability to do a job rather than presume their gender qualifies them?
I cant keep up. So sexism and discrimination is ok now
Why and on what planet.
Imagine if a guy said only a cabinet full of men would get us out of this mess. There would be hell on.
As Corbyn cannot command a majority in the current parliament we will need a national unity government led by someone else to stop BrExit before Hallowe’en. This is a sensible idea which Labour should support.
Do many saying this is sexist as well as so many sexist tweets.
WTF is Lucas talking about?
Good for her, determined to stop this mayhem at any cost. Shame you are a turncoat and don't stand up for your principles. What are they by the way?
Women at every opportunity crying discrimination !!!!!! What's this ? Crying for an all female cabinet,no discrimination there then.!! No demand for equality in working on the roads,building sites,mines,boxing ring,playing any sport on equal terms. But women want the same money!
I've seen that picture somewhere before...
Why just female cabinet?
Ah, the lovely warm glow from Brexit gammons.
Or kittens. I think she said that a cabinet of kittens... with mittens... would work too. Or cabbages... in a basket. Though I might have made that last one up. Silly response? Sillier than a cabinet that would presumably be more welcoming to Kate Hoey than say Clive Lewis?
Wow cool every single one mentioned is white, what are the odds
jon_bartley So annoying to see such a high profile green members be so silly. Really starting to get annoyed by how single focussed politics this country has become while people fight each day at the moment just to survive.
Maybe revive Maggie Thatcher?
Sexist
Does this include women who have male genitalia but who self identify as women?
How dumb is she Who Please remember, Diane Abbott is a woman!
What happened to the best people? Or is gender now more important?..
Brexit derangement syndrome has afflicted many important people but its effects are reducing its victims to a tearstained childlike mess.
Wow! She's ugly enough to back water up a hill!
Clearly a dangerous lunatic.
People who take Lucas serious or pretend to are just morons. Ridiculously sexist crap to vomit 🤢 🤮
Will they all be hypocrites and racists like CarolineLucas
What a strange lady.
Caroline Who?
Coming from a party with one MP , her ?
Nadine, Priti, Kate (Hoey), Amber, gender is no guarantee of sense sadly, nonsense Caroline.
What a progressive idea from Caroline Lucas for a Female Only cabinet. Will the baker of the fluffiest Victoria Sponge become Prime Minister?
To the Tower with the pesky woman! We're leaving, because we said so democratically. A sensible deal would be welcome, but we ARE leaving. dealwithit
Joke
Has cannabis been legalised?
She’s got a point...
Oh gawd
Can’t even manage five sets at tennis and think they can run the country? (sorry ladies I love y’all)
Let's just clear our all the staff and put the inmates in charge of the asylum. The Guardian has hugely underestimated comic value.
She looks absolutely gormless in that photograph and in real life she should be in a home for the bewildered
liarpoliticians Brexit derangement syndrome or middle class silver spoon entitlement? Probably bit of both.
Leader of Greens calls for unity by dismissing half the population because of their gender. Smart girl 👍😂 What next? White only cabinet?
Has CarolineLucas not been de-selected yet?
So CarolineLucas, RoryStewartUK who has criticised the machismo related to Brexit isn't welcome because he has the wrong kind of genitals? Honestly please please just do what is needed without trying to make a completely unrelated political point...I despair, I really do
LOL
Some of the comments on this are quite odd
wut
Head’s gone. Increasingly deranged and utterly bizarre.
Reported for sexism.
How pathetic. How on earth is she an MP
What's an 'emergency female'?
What a bunch of fannies
Never heard anything so ridiculous in all my life. It's actually made me laugh it's so preposterous.
Too many lentils have clearly started to have an effect.
Are 'emergency females' available on bank holidays?
Caroline Lucas' idea for a 21st century all female cabinet
Cool, let's add to the problems of this country with some sexism.
Great supporter of Caroline but this is just silly
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 why just women?
CarolineLucas is a lunatic
Yawn 😴
Phahahahaha who votes for these mentally ill people 🤣🤣
Hilarious. I'm getting to like the new satirical Gruntian.
You lost and you don't have the votes.
Absolute lunatic
and they wonder why is the far-right and the likes of Trump are on the rise! If their opponents are against every gene of common sense people have I would very much expect worse.
Because that's the only distinguishing characteristic that Lucas possesses? Let's stay with the elected government executing the will of Parliament.
CarolineLucas I don’t think that gender has anything whatsoever to do with this. That’s just weird.
Huh?
Does this include any blokes who might decide to self-identify as women just to get in the Cabinet or would CarolineLucas discriminate against them and be 'transphobic'
The unelectable can say what they like. Ffs!
Why?
Is there a female anything that is not an emergency?
The stupidity of liberals, didn’t we just have a woman pm ? Sometimes identify politics helps no one
In your dreams girls. A bunch of middle class privileged women with degrees in Humanities and virtue signalling....
Emergency female cabinet sounds something you keep tampons in.
God almighty
Lucas has totally lost the plot
I love this plan. Make it happen please! X
If Boris was to combat this by assembling an all male cabinet, the left would be rightly outraged. I’m sure there will be just the same level of outrage for this...
See, it's comments like that, that stops her from being taken seriously
It's almost as though Theresa May, Amber Rudd, Esther McVey, Priti Patel, Andrea Leadsom & many other Cabinet members who created the mess are not regarded as women. Men & women to blame.
TheMehOffice Given that there are plenty of awful women in the Brexit camp, this idea looks like a silly gimmick to me, but I don’t care who stops Brexit as long as it is stopped.
Sick of the middle class elite telling us how we should think
Female? What? 🙄
Why female 🤣🤣🤣
Lead by Theresa May! Hahahahahahahahahahahaha! Why do I suspect Lucas doesn’t mean Diane Abbott, Dawn Butler, Angela Rayner, Laura Pidock, Cat Smith...? Guardian finding new ways to troll the leader of the opposition. Ugh.
TheMehOffice Stupid idea.
Absolutely gone
Why not a cabinet of blind people or lesbian dwarves? Sickening discrimination.
jon_bartley What’s Green Party polling , what 2% and that’s being generous
jon_bartley More Brexshit Blindness lost the fuckin plot
The sheer bald faced arrogance of these people knows no bounds 🤡
How utterly bizarre. I thought we were equals?
She'll be disappointed not to get a place then.
Lol
The patriarchy got us into this mess; now it's time for the matriarchy to be given the opportunity to delegate and avoid catastrophe. The best suggestion I've heard for three years
jon_bartley Men need a rest! Chill, kick back, opt out, & let the ladies look after the shop. We could even relieve you of your voting rights
With an all female cabinet at least there would be no chance of the 'who's got the biggest dick' politics that caused the mess the Country is now in.
That’s the best news I’ve heard. Many wars have been fought and won by women — Anna_Soubry joswinson NicolaSturgeon EmilyThornberry YvetteCooperMP HarrietHarman heidiallen75 — it’s time to put things right margot_james_mp
jon_bartley Can someone please tell me why I believed in the Green party for so long. Admittedly we always knew that the environment wasn't Caroline Lucas's main reason for becoming involved in politics. Time for a new environmental party anybody?
Beyond laughable. Does she want Theresa May back too, or just women she agrees with? It's impossible to take Caroline Lucas seriously, what an absurd suggestion.
Nice bit of discrimination
No bother, The Greens support self ID, come on boys have you a nice shade of lipstick
Stupidity at its finest.
Twat of the highest order of Twattery
jon_bartley Hmm not sure that’s gonna be helpful. More likely to cause damage/lose support.
Baffling.
Dafter than a box of frogs
Does it include “self-ID women” as well as proper women, i.e., who have all the right organs to bear children? 😁
jon_bartley Good work CarolineLucas! I hope this leads to a more considered approach to finding a way forward.
Yesssss!!!!!!
She already said on TV that she doesn’t honour the result of the 2016 referendum, and won’t honour it if leave was to win again... Lady needs to pipe down and stick to GREEN issues!
Solves the JC problem.
Female cabinet? Why? Does she hate men?
I really hate the narrative behind this. 'It's undemocratic but that's ok because we all have vaginas.'
Oh please just return to the people do it again n put us all out of misery !
Raving misandrist. Imagine a man suggested this. jessicaelgot
That is just not going to happen. There is no point proposing things when there is prospect of them actually happening. This does not seem very helpful.
Great idea! We can easily get out of Brexit with a feminist government. What could possibly go wrong?
The Remain campaign is sliding effortlessly from the sublime to the ridiculous now.
Remoaners are just losing their marbles completely, this is an absurb, politically impossible and sexist notion. But it gets her attention, which explains much of what she does.
Bore of with this utter tripe. Feminism has nothing to do with Brexit. I am sick of politicians sounding off and trying to be politically correct. Sex, gender - whatever you want to call it - has nothing to do with Brexit or good government.
Well with such a massive party of MPs behind her people should take notice of everything she says , oh, wait a minute
jon_bartley Isn't that sexist?
As if the sexes weren't divided enough. whatanidiot
Why is Vera Lynn's name missing at this time of National crisis ?
Is this a face you can trust?😂
I’m in
You’d have to exclude Nadine Dorries
Sexist or what
Where does she think this shit up from
She can call for what she likes. I can call for a Euromillions win and have just as much chance of getting it!
Maybe not helpful
Normal voters will look at this utter poo and laugh. What an absolute pile of bollocks.
living embodiment of the devil
