Dominic Raab in “not a feminist” shocker – 7 unmissable reactions
If you haven’t already noticed, you should brace yourself for an influx of Conservative leadership hopefuls doing whatever the 2019 version of kissing babies is, now that actually kissing babies gets you a lengthy investigation by the Met Police.
We’ve already had Rory Stewart wandering around the country’s Costas trying to drum up support from caffeine addicts, as well as Sajid Javid telling Scotland what to do. Now, we have former Brexit Secretary, Dominic Raab, who resigned over a policy he helped negotiate, making the shocking admission that he isn’t a feminist.

Cheers mate, he's all for working women!!! Never ever be made to feel grateful for a liberty that should be taken for granted. You've got the vote, we let you vote what more do you want? https://t.co/SB92DCQWwk

I am very very sad to inform all of you that I have spent 85 percent of my mostly single life sitting in pub gardens with Dominic Raabs being told things like: “I don’t like the phrase: ‘women's rights’ it should be ‘PEOPLE rights’ you know?” while I drink 13 vodka tonics. https://t.co/53NgczJWOb

This definitely has the energy of a “career” “chat” I had with a middle manager in a major (non-media) company who told me if I worked hard I might one day get to his level. https://t.co/hXp0PwNGBE
