Ann Widdecombe tells it like it is
Just heard the delightful Ann Widdecombe on Five Live explaining why she's against David Cameron's plans to increase the number of woman Conservative MPs. She's worried that by forcing some constituencies to have at least two women on their candidate shortlists, the Tories will be bringing about a sort of hierarchy or division of women MPs: those who are assisted by their party to win a safe seat just because they're women and those who, in her own words,
Have beaten off all the men in order to win their seat
…
Frankly, I'm not sure which is worse. The problem of female-preferential shortlists of the image Ann Widdecombe has now left forever burnt into my retinas.
