So , Yvette Cooper ( Mrs Balls ) is going to remove fewer immigrants than have been removed in the last few years and proclaims this to the country as a good move . Why ?

Why would you call her Mrs Balls?

Also, do you have a link for your ridiculous claim? Or did you just make it up?

Maybe the same reason  some people like to call Emily Thornberry Lady Nugee??

Many folk still think a woman should take her husband's name and know their place.

The vast majority of women still take their husband's name, though alternatives are growing foothold, according to YouGov research.

Yet tradition of women taking their husband's name has been under increasingly fervent debate in recent decades: for many women, losing their name makes them first and foremost a wife, while their husband remains himself.

Most feminists maintain that protecting whatever women happen to choose – whether that's sticking to her own surname or taking her husband's – should be the priority, as is honouring that choice.

Yes .

Are you going to give us a link where she said this, there maybe a context which you've omitted, or an policy proposal which you've neglected to mention....

Well the education minister was incredibly incredible so so erudite.

We learned that the whole of the education system now is a business, and she is so incredibly worthy.

Yvette Cooper isn’t known as Mrs Balls.

 

Why would you call her that?

 

You have a similar problem with  Emily Thornberry.

 

It is quite a revealing pattern.

A little piece from the 80s, does anyone see a pattern?
