Labour plan to tour 70 Key constituencies before the election in a bright pink Wimmin Wagon. They plan to engage with women, find out what they want and presumably promise Labour will give them what they want.

It seems a rather empty gesture. Do you think it is a good plan?

First I thought this was patronising but actually it’s just plain funny. I’ve concluded that Labour is floundering around not knowing what to come up with next.

More of a 'Mystery Machine'...

All rather naff in my opinion,could dissuade even more female voters who might have their own colourful views....

Apart from gender stereotyping, which Labour is supposed to be all against, the colour pink has different connotations these days.

Isn't it a bit late for them to be asking? Shouldn't thay have done this about 6 months to a year ago to enable them to have vote winning policies, with wimmin appeal, in place. If that's a sign of Labour's strategy then they're deader than a Dodo.

Comes across as a bit patronising imo.

Well, love, I don't think we have them North of Miton Keynes so......

Couldn't figure out how this was going to attract women, then I found a picture of the bus from another angle.

What a waste of time. I know what I would like but I don't want Ed M Or Ed B anywhere near me, not to mention Harriden Harmen.

May 7th could just be a 'Dooms Day' for Millipede and he could fill the book with his failures.
