Today& #39;s #VintageMagTweets are about the way women in politics are spoken of in the media. The clippings all come from the 70s or 80s.
Can you imagine a similar headline about Biden and Trump?
"Blonde bombshell"... "pin up".
I mean, what the flip??
Two world leaders meeting, this is.
Lawton said something about, oh, I don& #39;t know.
A comment on Margaret Thatcher.
And, let& #39;s be honest, that& #39;s what matters, isn& #39;t it?

Let& #39;s reduce a minister& #39;s government policy to a silly analogy about a dieting woman. Oh, and let& #39;s include a demeaning cartoon, too.
Impeccable clothes, sexy.
Hairstyling always such an important factor when assessing policies that will affect the country.

Let& #39;s give the final word to Edwina Currie, who for once says it like it is.
