    I don't know too much about her honestly, hopefully she's better than Rishi.

    She seems a strong person so hopefully she will be able to hold the Labour party to account. Unfortunately with the majority the Labour party has it will be difficult.

    I have seen her in a couple of interviews and she does seem pretty confident when she does them, cross fingers she gives Labour a run for their money.

    i believe she did an interview back along with cosmopolitan where she stated maternity pay was to high and a burden to tax payers and businesses and then later said of course i believe in maternity pay it isnt excessive no mother of three thinks that i expect the cons to carry on as they were time will tell

    She's a female Trump. Very bad news for the Conservative party and the country if they ever get back in. She's reactionary and privileged and yes, has made some very worrying comments about Women's rights. Don't know where she stands on disability rights and welfare, can't imagine she'll be on our side though as she's as right wing as any of the Tories have been so no - not better than Rishi.

    She and Jenrick both believe in removing the EHRC if I recall correctly. Until the Tories move back to the centre ground (if they ever do), a positive attitude on disability is unlikely.

    She made certain comments a few weeks back on autism and other disabilities getting advantages.

    I think she is vile.

    How do people with autism and other disabilities get advantages.. is she for real. I'd like to see people like her live with these different health conditions.

    if they did, they'd probably be Aspie supremacists.
