1997 Labour Landslide Victory: Women's Representation and Tory Bloggers
BBC Pundit - back in 97 - is mentioning the huge progress expected in women's representation thanks to Labour's landslide. This week Guido Fawkes bigged up Iain Dale's "shredding" of a piece speculating about an imminent Tory reshuffle.
But I'm not sure Dale's shredding of Melissa Kite's Sunday Telegraph piece was anything of the sort. It mainly comes down to whether DC is planning a reshuffle now or not. And whether "now" includes 9 weeks time within its auspices or not. I think it probably does, and that if DC is not planning by now then he's more of a nice but dim poseur than he seems.
Significant that Dale goes after the woman reporters don't you think? He hates 'em. Taking our jobs and all that. Back in the kitchen woman!! Feels like an in-depth investigation may be coming in.
UPDATE: Iain says Melissa is his mate and calls me a name. Ouch! So apologies Iain, this drubbing for Melissa is not part of the pattern.

Your last para is characteristically pathetic. Melissa Kite is a friend of mine.
Your first line is characteristically petulant and rude. There is a pattern Iain whether your friend Melissa Kite is part of it or not. Come back and read it when I get round to writing it up. Next you'll be telling me Katherine from the Whip is your mate, that you support women candidates from Euro Elections and etc etc.
