In my North Kent hinterland I can see this policy going down like a
bucketload of cold sick in towns Labour needs to
win, towns which are alienated and impoverished (more so than Canterbury which we
won) but elected Tories — and voted Leave in droves — such as Gravesend, Strood, Rochester, Chatham, Gillingham and Sheerness.
This rather insipid attempt at
winning over the female vote was ripe for ridicule and duly received a
bucketload of sarcastic jeering from the cybernats.
