cosmolinguistI voted for Jo Swinson in the Lib Dems' leadership election, and I'm very happy she won.
This morning I was talking to someone bemoaning that tomorrow the Tories will make Boris Johnson PM (barring enough defections or him losing a vote of no confidence because half of his own party hates him, yes I know). I nodded and said I couldn't do anything about that but that the Lib Dems were about to elect a leader that TERFs hate. There are many good things about her, but this is the one that I thought would be most likely to cheer him up. It seemed to: "Good," he said.
She won't be Prime Minister tomorrow but her speech makes it clear she's not ruling it out!
Hell of a thing to hear the first speech from the new leader of the Lib Dems to reference a freshman representative from Minnesota. I'm not used to my political worlds colliding this way!
