Like a Horse and Carriage?

Would Mrs Samuel-Leport have voted for Miss Ann Widdecombe, who is nothing if not an upholder of traditional family values, at least if we do not count the fact that she is a salaried employee of Richard Desmond?

I am used to such abuse, being an advocate of such values while also unmarried and childless at the same age as Stella Creasy.

But numerous married-with-children politicians have been and remain extremely anti-family.

Mostly men. But some women. Hatty and Patty, for example.

Or the one who read for the Bar, found a parliamentary seat and then climbed the greasy pole, all while her twins were being raised by help that had been hired by her husband, who was a millionaire even in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s.

When she destroyed the economic basis of traditional family life for countless other people, she had little or no idea what she was causing them to lose.

Any more than men raised by nannies and matrons understand these things today.
